ShmupArch 6 Release + Setup! High Quality Emulation and Improved UI
ฝัง

- ShmupArch 6 for the PC is out and ready to roll! There have been huge improvements to both the UI and the FB Neo core since the last release. I have also play tested this version for months with very solid results.
Download:
drive.google.c...
Compatibility List:
shmuparch-compatibility-list/
What's new?
-Significant improvements to FB Neo core itself (smoother gameplay, especially in DOJ)
-Brand new UI!
-999 Save State Slots!
-Some games now need updated roms (romset FB Neo v0.2.97.44-WIP). Mame 0.223 roms seem to work as well (at least for CAVE).
-Readjusted config files (less run ahead needed now)
-Improved Save files (more CAVE games all are correct dip switch settings)
-Batrider Japanese version save state (slot 0) has all extra modes and ships unlocked.
-Classy and subtle scanline overlay added (can be disabled if desired)
-program is able to run in background on default (will be significant in the future)
-nifty little shortcut icon (is very useful to keep shmuparch separate from other retroarch builds)
#shmups, #retroarch, #emulation
It’s awesome that you are doing this. I never heard of it until your videos and I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’m a console kid and missed out on a lot of arcade only shmups for a long time not having good cabs local to me. I’m just catching up on many classics through pc emulation that never had a home port.
Oh yeah for sure! Give batrider a try!
Jeez, when you commented Shumparch WINKY FACE, I just thought "sure, makes sense, emulation." NO, it's YOUR special project as well that you've already improved on. sweet lord man. You are the SHMUP KING.
Glad you like it!! Gonna have a new update soon!
@@TheElectricUnderground haven't gotten it going just yet!
Thanks Mark this is such a huge step-up from MAME which I've been using to this point. Great work.
There was a weird issue when I plugged in a Razer Panthera which I've managed to workaround (it seemed to be registering inputs for both player 1 & 2, so I manually deleted inputs for player 2 and it was fine. Will test with a second arcade stick). Other than that minor issue, it's been a pleasure and I'm playing more shmups since downloading.
This has brought my game to a whole new level. Thank you so much! I would have never managed to iron out these kinks. DOJ feels great to play. Thanks a million!
I m really happy to hear that!
thank you so much for setting this up! I completely moved from Mame to Shmuparch 5 for arcade games, thanks to you, and really enjoy it.
Thank you Mark for your hard work ! I confirm this works with ati gpus/freesync monitors too!
This is amazing dude thank you 🙏🏻
No problem!
Nice! I think I'll move from MAME to this :D
And also, if a "Switch pro" is released, I'll add SA to my current model. That would be great ^^
Yeah I m thinking about it :-)
Another useful video, thank you!
Amazing work!
Keep an eye out, Shmuparch 7 is coming soon with some cool bonuses!
Man!! this emulator is such a Goat! really responsive in most of game i play. also, now i can unleashed Espgaluda Kakusei(slowdown toggle) on every shmup haha! XD
btw...why some games like DOJ and Ketsui isn't reading?
Hey Mark thanks heaps for all this .Really nice work .I just became a patreon and am listening to the latest podcast,pumped as well to see what hey can do with the Mister and other cave games and can't wait to try this ShmupArch 6 Release on a Pi .
How well does the pi4/Shmuparch run stuff like the shmups on Ps1,Dreamcast and maybe Saturn? thanks .
Oh that s awesome!! Thanks so much for supporting the channel ❤. So right now no console support, but that will be on my to do list in the next update.
This is very exciting for me as I have a shipment of seimitsu buttons and sticks on its way from Japan and after 15 years of talk I'm finally going to build my arcade cabinet. Shmuparch is definitely going to be the backbone! I really appreciate what you do!
What are your plans for future versions of shmuparch? Do you have a roadmap?
Thanks again for your hard work!
I m honestly not sure how much better it can get. There will be more minor updates and such, but until the mame core gets updated and supported, it s going to be just small steps forward I think
Mark,
Firstly, thank you for all the fantastic content and ShmupArch 7.0 build. When it comes to ShmupArch, I am having some issues:
1- Not all of my controllers are recognized...they do not all populate at the lower left hand of the screen after launching the application.
->I have another build of RetroArch installed (v1.12.0) and they are all recognized upon startup
2- The input device I currently use is a PowerA Spectra Enhanced (i.e. Xbox One) controller. Although it is not recognized when launching ShmupArch, it does work in-game but:
-> I am unable to configure any buttons within ShmupArch (Settings>Input>Hotkeys) or while In-Game...I can only use the default configuration
-> When In-Game, the controller is only recognized as Player 2 (even when the Input Port for Player 1 is the Xbox One controller it only works when enabled for Input Port for Player 2)
Might you have any suggestions?!
Thanks in advance,
Brent
Love IT
Do you happen to have a list of all Shmups that you have already fixed the frame rates for? Last time I used Retroarch I remember it being a little bit of a pain to get that set up and I don't want to bother going through the process for games that you have already generously done for us. Thanks for all the amazing work as usual!
I 'll have to make one, I 'll do that tomorrow
@@TheElectricUnderground Not trying to bother you about it since you have already done so much, but did you ever end up getting a chance to make the list?
Hey man, great tutorial as always.
I was meaning to ask if you'd like to make a quick tutorial on how to perfectly play all cv1000 shmups on-the-go (android smartphone), with >very< close to pcb speeds. Maybe there are more people intersted to experience these gems anytime, anywhere, and you can definitelly reach much more of them.
I will of course provide you each step in detail, and also the necessary tools and numbers.
I 'll have to look into it!
Hey there, thanks a bunch for doing this! I'm trying to play DoDonPachi DOJ, and I'm using the latest FinalBurn Neo Romset (which was last updated 1-5-2021), yet when I try to run DOJ, I get "Failed to load content." Is there something I'm missing?
So take a look inside the romset zip folder and see if there are more roms inside it. This happened when I downloaded the new doj rom and it was strange.
whoo.. maybe i get doj to work at all this time... (problem is on my end and my unwillingness to mess with massive romsets)
edit: and BIG THX FOR YOUR WORK ON SHMUPARCH!
finally got my 21inch 85hz crt today and... boy espgaluda and Dimahoo looked and played awesome..
gotta checl out if the new iteration gets rid of the minor sound issues i get with espgaluda
I just got my Pi 4 today to set up shmuparch 6 on there lol
Now this comes out
Wonder if I should just stick with my PC for shmuparch or set up both?
Thanks for all your hard work
Amazing work, thank you! Oddly tho this build isn't recognising any of my FB Roms - is that because they're 0.2.97.40?
Yes, you need to update the romset
If the scan is missing games in RA, you can install the other arcade cores and it should start finding them. Alternatively you could turn off core match (though I find it crashes) or you could turn off hashing and just have it add stuff by filename. Or you could use Retroarch playlist building tools. Might be a nice enhancement to Shmuparch to add a custom database so all this work isn't necessary though
10x the save slots :O There goes the ESPrade/Ketsui wallpaper. This looks awesome though, gonna update it now. Thanks for the hard work!
BTW, do you know how to add an input viewer to ShmupArch? I'm playing DDP now but I'm on a laptop, so I'm stuck with yoko and there's so much black space.
It s in the overlays, it s a bit meh
@@TheElectricUnderground Ah now I see it. It is really meh. None of them managed to show the bomb button. And I have to give up the scanlines too.
If I have a 144hz monitor is it worth changing the refresh rate settings to 144 in SA? Will this make a difference in a game that is not going above 60 fps anyway? Thanks for the effort you put into Shmup Arch Mark!
I wish you could (I have one as well), but the games are locked to 60 fps in their code. Good news though, if you have freesync it will work and make an awesome improvement.
@@TheElectricUnderground I see, thanks!
This is incredible! Is there any way to record your games in such a way that you can record it with, say, obs later? Thank you a lot!
So the input recording is still very weird and hard to use, so I always record with obs as I play
@@TheElectricUnderground I see, well, thank you anyways, you are doing god's work with this, cheers.
OK so after some confusion, I discovered this doesn't play nicely with controllers that use dinput (only xinput). It would be nice to have known that. So if you have a Saturn controller 2.4ghz (or other generic USB) make sure you are in x-input mode before booting up. Key setup for non-x-box padders was a bit confusing, but otherwise quite nice. I'll keep playing around.
Just regarding input lag in general, your comments about it have made me turn off upscaling and tweak some other settings on my PS3, which is what I use to play PS2 games. I suppose this is all I can do until/if I buy a CRT. It feels better by a fraction of a second, though I haven't tested it with precision by using a meter. I also read on the libretro website that Super Nintendo had two frames of input lag built in to Super Mario World and I don't know how many games. This made me think it's pretty important to use runahead if I can when playing Super Nintendo.
For sure! Yeah snes does have a bit of input lag on the hardware
What's the major differences between ShmupArch and RetroArch?
Hi
Will a new version of this be coming out? Want to set up a mame shmup set up and wondering if I should download this or wait. Thanks
YES! I have it pretty much finished actually, will release it by the end of the month
@@TheElectricUnderground oh nice , perfect timing :) thanks
Mark do you have to use the japanese version of the games for the save states to work?
Hey Mark. I set up ShmupArch last night and I must say, Ive been sleepin. NO more Dodonpachi on the saturn, and screw the ps1 port. Finally played Progear, Guwange, Sorcer Striker and Battle Bakraid which are all super sick. Also I was able to get galaga 88 to run, im sure there are other titles.
I am currently trying to fix the screen tearing, wondering if you have any solution to this (my pc is garbage that could be it). If you have addressed this in a video could you point me in the right direction? Thanks for all you do for this community!
There are 3 solutions
1. Vsync on (adds frame of lag)
2. Crt monitor (reduces screen tearing)
3. Freesync monitor :-) no screen tearing or extra lag
Thanks for this. One strange thing I noticed is the default button config is different from 5.4. All of the buttons shifted one space left (Xbox One controller) in FBNeo. When I input the binds to match the same buttons I used on the previous version it changes the confirm and back buttons for navigating the menu as well. Is there a way of just mapping input for the core and leaving the menu navigation binds default?
Yes there is! If you open a game in fb neo, then open the quick menu, there will be a "controls" option, not "inputs." If you go into controls you can remap the buttons within the games without remapping the buttons for the menu. Just change the buttons within the "controls" and then "save core remap" :-)
hey mark, how do you set up autofire? getting rsi from mashing the buttons haha.
I would recommend using anti-micro and setting it up that way, maybe I'll have to put together a tutorial vid on it
@@TheElectricUnderground Thanks a ton for pointing me in the right direction
cool
Works great with crt switchres on a 31khz crt vga monitor. I have a small question though. In normal ra I have to turn vsync swap chain interval to 2 to make scrolling smooth due to my monitor running at 120 fps for 240p switchres. Is this setting equivalent to hard sync delay?
Hmmm you might have to turn up the gpu sync as well, I think you can increase it. I'm not sure if it would work but it is worth playing with.
Hey Mark, a couple of questions. I notice there are a lot of unused assets in ShmupArch since only the FBNeo core is being used. Mind if you remove them for ShmupArch 7? I would do it myself but I'm not familiar with RetroArch, and I'm afraid I may break something. Also, will you consider making a Linux version of ShmupArch? Or at the least, let me know what are the list of changes you made and I'll try to replicate them with the Linux version of RetroArch. I'm making the switch to Linux and ShmupArch is one of the few things I need Windows for.
Hey yeah for sure. So on Linux, I did make a Linux build, but it didn t run right :-(
@@TheElectricUnderground Dang. Great that you tried to cater to the few Linux shmuppers at least!
Man, I've been so busy with school that I haven't been able to watch your recent videos. Gotta find some time to catch up on them. I see quite a few interesting shmups in the titles.
I used anti-micro for turbo but for some reason it's not working? do you know another way to have turbo
also when I play gradius 3 it always put me on 2 players mode
hmmm oh dang, let me look into it more, there is a built in turbo button in retroarch that you can bind to your shot button, it's funky but should work for gradius
Does it come with the roms already in the program? If not where do I even find these roms and for what system? Sorry I’m new to all this but really enjoyed my first bullet hell and want to play the highly revered ones that you talk about all the time.
sadly I cannot bundle the roms, you can search for the latest final burn neo romset though!
The Electric Underground thanks man!
@@TheElectricUnderground So I downloaded a bunch of games from the ROM set you recommended (thank you). I was curious though where do you play Mushi and Death smiles? I cant find them in the set.
Will there ever be a android app shmuparch.,?
Hi Mark, is it possible record inp's or something similar with this emulator? I'm interested in practice and record some DDP B-L runs with this beauty :D
Yes I believe so, though it is a major pain in the $$$. I tend to just capture my gameplay with obs or stream, but I believe there is method to use inps with it.
shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=65942
I forgot to thak you for that, it worked XD
Also, do you know if the turbo button speed could be edited? I wanted to set it to 10hz so i could play Garegga without increase it to much at the start.
No love for Bakraid?... :( it's the ginger stepchild of the Church of Yagawa (praise be his name and drink the tears of those who hate his games) Bat Trilogy.
Yeah gotta do that one too ha
Why I can't run DoDonPachi II - Bee Storm? what I'm doing wrong?
Oh I almost got a 1cc in it a while back ha. I 'll have to play it again. It runs correctly on default settings on shmuparch
Make sure you have the PGM bios for DDP II
@@Bradaran79 I do
@@rafresendenrafresenden.1644 Make sure you have the DDP2.zip parent rom and the PGM bios in the bios folder
@@Bradaran79 bios folder?
I'm probably in the minority here - and a little off-topic from the video since you're talking about PC - but would you ever consider optimizing Shmuparch for Rpi 3b? I know the 4 has more power, but analog output with the 4 is very spotty. Would love to have a one-stop solution for playing shmups on a CRT.
I could give it a shot!
@@TheElectricUnderground Awesome! As always, appreciate the great content man.
I didn't see Muchi Muchi Pork on the compatibility list.
It s not supported sadly, too late of a cave release :-(
I got shumparch 7 running on my computer but i have no idea where to get the games. Help?
ask the guy with the broccolli hair hanging out at the corner of the arcade.

This works really well. I'm using a Razer Panthera Evo with a Seimitsu lever to play and it works fine but I have one issue. Whenever I have my stick is plugged in a message keeps coming up that says ("Device disconnected from port 2." (Razer Panthera Evo Arcade Stick) and the message just keeps popping up over and over. I even set Maximum Users to 1 and it wont go away. There is nothing wrong with my usb ports or the stick itself. Could anyone guess what could be happening?
Do you have another controller plugged in? It sounds like it might be reading two controllers
I do not, I just have my mouse and keyboard and my headset which uses audio jack input. I will try to keep trouble shooting. The thing is when that message comes up it is for the Stick and nothing else.
I found my problem and I'm currently trying to fix it. For some reason my PC is reading my stick as two sticks so it sees it as having two of the same stick plugged in. I'm not sure when this happened. I've been playing Guilty Gear and DoDonPachi Resurrection and Mushihimesama without any issues so I gotta figure out what's going on.
@@vengefulmosquito9196 I have the exact same thing. Did you find a fix for it?
@@r2-2d This is gonna sound bad but all I did was do a cold hard reset. I turned off my computer unplugged it and left it for about 5 minutes and it reset all my usb devices. It no longer reads my Panthera Evo as a duplicate device. After that it worked I have no explanation for it. If it doesn't work for you I'm sorry. Thank you for this video I no longer have the popup messages and it works flawlessly.
IS this ever in a Single Board Computer or Pi or Something ?
yes there is a pi version of shmuparch 6 :-)
@@TheElectricUnderground if id only knew how to setitup
What's worse about MAME's save/load state?
You have to use a keyboard and it s way more limited in the amount of states
@@TheElectricUnderground That's completely fair. I will say it works for my needs though.
8 coming?
Yes indeed! I'm trying to get it finished this month
Is their a Linux version?
I tried to put one together in mint but it wasn t running properly because I suck with Linux or something. But it runs well on the pi and that is linux based. So I could put a version together but I m not sure about the quality compared to Windows. I m sure it s possible though
