CoinOPS 8 - eXoDOS - Pack 1


Six months in the making, this pack took a lot of effort.  Where possible the games are all fully playable using the Joypad with controls mapped using Pipmick's fantastic control mapping spreadsheets.  A USB keyboard is still essential to get the most out of the pack.

CoinOPS 8 R3 - Avant Additions

My console additions for CO8R3. The dos additions will be in a subsequent dos pack.

These additions are a mix of new homebrew, unreleased games, hacks and translations, and demo scene releases.

CoinOPS 8 R3 - Console Additions preview

My console additions for CoinOPS 8 R3.  A few yet to add like Super Mario Run hack for N64.  Some new previously unreleased games, hacks, homebrew, translations, and some demoscene console prods.  Looking forward to testing these.


Starting C64 games in CoinOPS without using a usb keyboard

A youtube commenter left a message saying he could not work out how to start Mayhem in Monsterland.

I made a video demonstrating how to do it:


I would still recommend using a usb wireless keyboard - much faster and more satisfying: https://coinopspacks.blogspot.co.uk/p/anyone-who-enjoys-emulating-816-bit.html

CoinOPS - DOS Repack


Back in late 2012 and early 2013 a few DOS packs were made. This was before Pipmick started making DOS packs.

I decided to go through them and test them - many did not work, so I spent the last 6 months fixing the ones I could.   Many sellers are still selling CoinOPS xboxes with the old broken pack.

CoinOPS 8 R2 Avant Additions

459 games have been added to the supported game list of CoinOPS with the R2 release.  These are suggested by the community in the CoinOPS forum.  Personally I made a small number of requests as the bulk of my current pack work was added to the list with CoinOPS 8.  However with this small number of games across a variety of platforms I have been able to quickly produce an interesting and varied pack with many highlights.

Here's a screenshot showing the number of games in CoinOPS 8 if you install all the packs.

CoinOPS 7 R5 Additions preview, and DOS configuration demo

A quick preview of the additions for CO7 R5.  The included arcade roms from BP contain some control and performance enhancements.  The version of Vendetta from adn is a dodgy x-rated version.  The rest are additions I had requested.  Lots of spectrum additions and a start to looking at filling out the dos section with more 80s Dos games, particularly infocom text adventures.  At the end of the video is a demo of setting up a dos game.

CoinOPS ScummVM pack

Intro

With CoinOPS 5 ScummVM appeared as a supported platform, but that was as far as it got. Since 7 may be the last release of CoinOPS on xbox I had a the simple idea that we could finally get ScummVM included if only by launching it as a piece of Xbox Homebrew.

This was added to the supported list for R3, which you will need (or above version) to run this pack.

CoinOPS 7 R4 Computer/Console additions (preview)


Just made the videos and recorded doing a video test run through and started testing the first few games. Any games / videos that fail then will have to be checked / replaced / configured. Exhausting work but worth it to add these interesting games to the collection! :)
