Hoot sets are still being updated? by tails_ at 10:14 AM EST on February 10, 2012: Looking through 2ch I found this resource:
It's all in japanese and i have no clue what's going on but this definitely looks like new sets. So anybody is collecting this? :|

by Knurek at 11:57 AM EST on February 10, 2012: I've stopped doing all hoot work almost a year ago, and I don't think I'll come back to it anytime soon. Anyone is free to pick up where I left though.
by tails_ at 9:05 PM EST on February 10, 2012: Hmm guess I can take this. Where did you left?
by Knurek at 1:36 AM EST on February 11, 2012: Start with 2010/05/23 update, I guess.
If you need any help with the ripping process, just say so (though IIRC the hardest part was finding correct game images).
Hoot Player by Koto at 11:38 AM EST on November 14, 2012: I have downloaded the last version of Hoot player, and it is giving me some problems.

The Neogeo games don't play correctly, and the player doesn't recognise all the titles that used to get. Is there any rom set more suitable? Thanks

See ya
by Knurek at 12:38 PM EST on November 14, 2012: Check the xml definitions for the game that doesn't play and compare to your romset for hoot, it should be easy to fix from there.
by Koto at 7:32 PM EST on November 14, 2012: Thanks, that solves part of the problem. But Neo Geo Games don't play correctly, they sound very strange, like if they're lacking some sound channel. How I can fix that issue? Thanks again.

See ya
by Knurek at 4:03 AM EST on November 15, 2012: See if you have the V roms named correctly in the XML file and correct them if necessary.
by Koto at 8:46 AM EST on November 15, 2012: Mh I'm not sure what I have to do... I'll post an example to go quickly (Metal Slug).

That's the text in the SNK XML

    <game>
        <name>[Neo Geo] Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 (ƒƒ^ƒ‹ƒXƒ‰ƒbƒO) (YM2610)</name>

            <option name="adpcm_size" value="0x0800000"/>
        </options>
        <romlist archive="mslug">

            <rom type="adpcm" offset="0x400000">201-v2.bin</rom>
        </romlist>

            <title code="0x2b">The Military System</title>
            <title code="0x21">Main Theme from Metal Slug (Mission 1)</title>
            <title code="0x22">Inner Station (Mission 2)</title>
            <title code="0x23">Assault Theme (Mission 3)</title>
            <title code="0x28">Steel Beast (Boss)</title>
            <title code="0x20">Carry Out (Misson Complete)</title>
            <title code="0x24">Ridge 256 (Mission 4)</title>
            <title code="0x25">Gerhardt City (Mission 5)</title>
            <title code="0x27">Gravestone (Game Over)</title>

            <title code="0x2c">Nazca Logo</title>
        </titlelist>
    </game>

Those are the files included in the mslug.zip:

201-m1.bin
201-v1.bin
201-v2.bin

And this is how the Main Theme plays:

See ya
