Unique MAME problem

Post by Neon »

http://www.arcade-history.com/history_d ... il&id=2651

Is there any way to get MAME to believe the game has been on for several weeks? So I can access the modes that would otherwise be console-exclusive, like survival mode.

The only thing I can think is to leave it on all day everyday with throttle off for awhile :(

I'm mainly interested in survival which loads too frequently on any of the ports...

I think that at some point someone made a hacked .nv file that you can put in MAME's nvram directory. Or try using MAME's cheat system, if someone's created a cheat for that. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Yeap, get cheat.dat and access via tab menu.
You can set the title background colour to any of the modes. Simple.

Enjoy

If that's not permanent, ask the folks at the GameFAQs SFA3 arcade board. A year or 2 ago, somebody found codes to unlock every different color scheme and special battle type. I used them to unlock everything for my SFA3 ROM.

Its not permanent but really only takes a couple of secs to do each time.

Fuck the rules of forums like this. Real stg people only post at places like this to get info. about relevant things, as I have done today. Anyone under the banner of that word for these games is full of shit and not a fan, nor have they come up thru or were ever part of real gaming, cause no-one called it that back then, and anyone that actually does love the genre as I always have, would never let it be titled so stupidly.

You made a post asking where to download ROM images, what did you expect?

If you really want them, go download them. If you really have to ask where to find them, then you should really consider reading this:

Don't like the rules? Piss off and go somewhere else.

A troll from the old board with a history of insane paranoid rants involving government coverups, tinfoil hats, etc.

So why are you posting this if these boards are so beneath you?

Also. I don't. See how you can call 'Shmups'. Stupid. When you don't even know proper sentence structure.

I've been religiously playing games since the Atari 2600 and i personally don't mind them being called Shmups. It's obviously a shortened form of shoot-em'-up even to people who don't play games. I even refer to the other board members here as 'Shmup-puppies' on occasion. Does that make you uncomfortable with your sexuality?

What i'm trying to say is, thru and thru, you are a gay barnacle. Saying i'm not a gamer because i called shmups shmups is like me telling you you're not a tranny because you don't drive a pink caddy.

Mate, if you cant get MAME running and/or cant locate info on the net to help your yourself your thread being locked is the least of your probs.
