RQ: Strikers 1999 - Secret Plane

Post by DoomsDayMach1ne »

Hey, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this the right place for this thread.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to gain access to the X-36 plane that I've seen on some vids. I've read that you're supposed to hold UP+Fire on the Random Select. That didn't work.

For background, I have MAME32 0.97. I tried downloading the Cheats Dat file and messing around with all of that stuff and it never worked. I also read a comment from somebody that you need to go to the DIP settings and enter a code. Well I went to Dip setting on mine and the only thing I was able to do was change the Version from Int A, Int B, or JAP. THEN, I saw a video of landshark, I believe, and I noticed that when he started the game up he went to a blue screen that said "Test Mode". I haven't been able to find a test mode on mine.

So, am I doing something wrong or missing something? Do I have the wrong version of MAME? I've been messing with this for a while now so if anybody can help me; I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, I've seen that list somewhere. But how do I get into Test Mode?

Ok, the thread was moved and I couldn't find it for a while...

Thanks, Twiddle. That's exactly what I needed.
