All Im working with mame 32 bit vers 1.98, to try and get an older non gaming pc to work on star wars.
That part is going great .. but alas on my windows 8.1 box I just cannot get the dip switch settings to take.
They are consistent Initial shields == 6 bonus shields == 1 difficulty hard .. yet every time I run the game I get
8 shields .. and its driving me giddy bonkers! Because if the settings are not taking for the initial I can't possibly
assume anything on those settings. I tried changing permissions on every file and folder to no avail.
There really ought to be some type of shorthand for mame insanity, where you keep trying to get something done over and
over and it does not. Well I would be most grateful for any help or direction here.
