- Is there a way to calibrate the gun in opwolf. I have tried pressing tab and going into the game service menu but couldn’t see anything.
There is no calibration menu in Operation Wolf. (opwolf)
- IIRC the game used an optical light gun with the raster scan timing of the video signal, not a positional gun with potentiometers, so the optical sensor and raster scan timing confirmed where the gun was aimed -- no gun position calibration necessary. Pretty sure that Mame simulates that process by calculating the raster scan timing that would result from the Mame-generated crosshair location and triggering the optical sensor line at the correct time.
- Why do some people suggest deleting nvram and config files - why delete them, which files exactly and where are they
Why delete them? They may have gotten corrupted and/or Mame may have changed the information (variable names, options, etc.) stored in the cfg file.
Config files are found in the "..\mame\cfg\" folder.
- The config file for opwolf is "opwolf.cfg".
Nvram files are found in the "..\mame\nvram\[romname]\" folder.
- For example, the nvram file for Operation Wolf 3 is "..\mame\nvram\opwolf3\mk48t08"
- I don't see an nvram file for opwolf in MAMEUIFX v0.152. (I can also check it in mainline v0.254 if you like)
- Mame's files and filenames may have changed since the other thread you just posted in
here from almost 20 years ago
refers to testing the game in Mame v0.71 and 0.72.
