 ====== Cave CV1000 ======
+The Cave CV1000 (also known as Cave SH-3) is an arcade system board used by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_(company)|Cave]] for all their arcade releases from 2004 to 2012, with the exception of Deathsmiles II. Powered by a Hitachi SH-3 CPU, the platform is famous for its legendary bullet hell (danmaku) shoot-em-ups including the Dodonpachi, Mushihime-sama and Espgaluda series. The board has three revisions: CV1000-B (early), CV1000-B (later) and CV1000-D.
-The Cave CV1000 is a arcade developed by Sega. It was released in 2004.
+This system is only available on **x86_64** builds.
-This system scrapes metadata for the "cave3rd, arcade" group(s) and loads the ''cave3rd'' set from the currently selected theme, if available.

-No Cave CV1000 emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.
 ===== ROMs =====
 Place your Cave CV1000 ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/cave3rd''.
-===== Emulators =====
+ROMs should be in zipped format compatible with **MAME 0.284** or later.
-==== Demul ====
+<WRAP center round important>
+The emulators are still work in progress for Cave CV1000 games, so mileage will vary. Performance depends on your x86_64 system hardware. If you get audio stuttering and slow music, your system is not powerful enough to run this system.

-=== Demul configuration ===
+===== Emulators =====
+==== RetroArch ====
+[[https://docs.libretro.com/|RetroArch]] with the **libretro: MAME** core is the **default emulator** for Cave CV1000 in Batocera.
-Standardized features available to all cores of this emulator: ''cave3rd.videomode'', ''cave3rd.videomode'', ''cave3rd.bezel'', ''cave3rd.bezel_stretch'', ''cave3rd.hud'', ''cave3rd.bezel.tattoo'', ''cave3rd.bezel.tattoo_corner'', ''cave3rd.bezel.tattoo_file'', ''cave3rd.bezel.resize_tattoo''
+=== RetroArch configuration ===
+RetroArch offers a **Quick Menu** accessed by pressing ''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} which can be used to alter various things like [[:advanced_retroarch_settings|RetroArch and core options]], and [[:remapping_controls_per_emulator|controller mapping]].

+==== MAME ====
-^ Settings that apply to all cores of this emulator ||
+[[https://www.mamedev.org/|MAME]] (standalone) can be used as an alternative emulator for Cave CV1000 games. It supports the full Cave CV1000 ROM set.
-| **GAME ASPECT RATIO ''cave3rd.demulRatio''** | \\ => Stretch ''0'', 4:3 (Default) ''1'', 16:9 ''2''. |
-| **VSYNC ''cave3rd.demulVSync''** | Fix screen tearing.\\ => Off ''0'', On ''1''. |
-=== First run ===
+==== Demul ====
+[[https://demul.emulation64.com/|Demul]] is a Sega Dreamcast and arcade emulator running under WINE.
-After loading a Cave CV1000 ROM for the first time, Batocera will download and install the appropriate files. This process takes a few minutes up to (a long time) depending on your internet speed. There is no progress bar.
-=== Service menu ===
-<WRAP center round todo>
-Redo this section, add images, explain what it's actually for, etc.
-</WRAP>
 <WRAP center round important>
-A keyboard required to access this menu.
+Your graphics card requires **Vulkan drivers** for Demul to work.
 </WRAP>
-While running a game, press ''[F4]'' to access the service menu for that title. This menu contains different options for each game, and saves their configuration independently.
+=== Demul: First start ===
+You need to run a ROM at least once **and** be connected to the internet. This creates the directory structure and installs the associated Windows libraries for WINE.
-Repeatedly press ''[F2]'' to navigate the menu, and press ''[F4]'' to confirm.
+It may take some minutes before the game starts on first use — this is normal. Please be patient as it can take up to 2 minutes depending on your internet connection speed.
-===== Controls =====
+=== Demul: Controllers ===
+Currently controllers cannot be configured using the desktop app. This is a limitation of the Demul app under WINE but also a known buggy pad plugin, even under Windows. Currently 2 players are mapped using the emulator's default keyboard configuration via evmapy.
-Currently controllers cannot be configured using the desktop app. This is a limitation of the Demul app under Wine. As of writing, only Player 1 is mapped with the default layout.
+=== Demul: Service Menu ===
+A keyboard is required. You can access the Service Menu using **F4** and then use **F2** to navigate with **F4** to select.

+=== Demul configuration ===
-This part needs to be rewritten. It contains important information so it will remain here for now.
+^ ES setting name ''batocera.conf key'' ^ Description >> ES option ''key value'' ^
+| **GAME ASPECT RATIO ''cave3rd.demulRatio''** | Set the game aspect ratio.\\ >> Stretch ''0'', 4:3 (Default) ''1'', 16:9 ''2''. |
+| **VSYNC ''cave3rd.demulVSync''** | Fix screen tearing.\\ >> Off ''0'', On ''1''. |
-Demul uses decimal for pad configuration in the padDemul.ini
+=== Demul: Compatible ROMs ===
-To determine the decimal we have to convert the hexadecimal to decimal.
+Demul has a specific list of currently compatible ROMs:
-You can edit arcade controls they're under the [JAMMAx_x] headings depending on the number of controllers.
-Controller 1 = 0x100 & 0x200 for the buttons & the 2x analog sticks.

-Device input hex codes are listed in the appropriate linux kernel input.h depending on the controller type.
+With both MAME and Demul you should be able to play the full collection of games.
-i.e. A gamepad's 'start' button is 0x13b
-Therefore controller 1's start button is 0100013b in hex or 16777531 in decimal.
-Controller 2 would be 0101013b / 16843067 accordingly.
