Evil Modifications

You'll need to use WordPad or similiar rather than Notepad as the files are too large. Also I should mention that providing your modified binaries is apparently a no no.

1. Enabling Test Drivers or Commented games:

All you need to do here is open up the 'drivers.c' file and you'll see all of the games listed with the word "DRIVER" in front. Where games are automatically commented you will see "TESTDRIVER" instead. Simply take out the "TEST" to enable this game. Be sure to enable Maniac Squares for old times sake =)

2. Taking out the 'OK' prompt for each game:

To do this, go to src/mame.c and edit line 1225:

if (settingsloaded == 0)

and change it to

if (0)

In line 1232:

if (showgamewarnings(real_scrbitmap) == 0)

change it to

if (1)

3. Enabling Console Dip-switches for NeoGeo games:

Enabling the home console dip switch in Neo Geo games.

in src/drivers/neogeo.c

uncomment lines 836-838 and 908-910 (remove the //)

// PORT_DIPNAME( 0x04, 0x04,"Machine Mode" )

// PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00,"Home" )

// PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x04,"Arcade" )

in src/machine/neogeo.c change lines 42-44

 from

#ifndef CONSOLE

res |= 0x8000;

#endif

to

if(src & 0x04)

res |= 0x8000;

I'll add more as I come across them. In the meantime, why not head on to the Evil Drivers page.

Next!
