PE+ Emulator via MAME

[poppo]

I don't really play video poker, so I don't know how fast one can go through credits. 1000 sounds like a good number. But this is just my opinion. Maybe people who play it, do want more credits. I was just looking at it like playing any other game that has an 'infinite lives' hack that can sort of take the fun out of trying to beat the game.

In any case I'm sure those that have this game would be interested in the fix/info no matter how it's implemented.

Your right...it does take the fun out of it, really no point to play then.....you go threw credits very fast. maybe even 500..

BTW

If anyone wants to try this hacked NV file, i've uploaded it to my site, you can find it here:

http://www.daytonashelby.com/mame

It only has one file and its only for the PE+ Game: pexmp006 which is the 5 in 1 video poker.

This file gives you 9900 credits. Feel free to try it out...if theres any errors, let me know.



And kevin if this is against the rules with posting a NV file, lmk and take it down.

Tom-

I don't think the site admins will have any problem with you posting a link to that -- that's more MAME-y than anything, and it's not a ROM/.bin file.

Tom, I sent you a pm.    karma for figuring this out and sharing it with everyone.   Good job!!

You would probably gain much more acceptance from the MAME community if your memory hack was part of the MAME Cheat Library rather than a downloadable .NV file.

Pugsy's Cheats has a tutorial on how to create cheats:

The reason your initial hack failed was because the CMOS and the EEPROM were out of sync.  Everytime the machine boots it compares key values from the EEPROM on the backplane with values in the CMOS.  If those values differ, you get the CALL ATTENDANT message and the system resyncs the values in the CMOS from the EEPROM (overwriting your changes to memory).  The .NV file contains a dump of the memory for both the CMOS and EEPROM combined, you if you modify both successfully, you should be able to boot without errors.

The location of the credits in the CMOS is different for each game, but tends to be fairly consistent with the EEPROM.
