Hello,
Does anyone out there know if there is a way to stop MAME from Saving
the number of Credits you last had?
It has recently came to my attention; now I find it annoying to start
a game ( Especially when I have guests playing)
and already have a stockade of Credits..
It would be Nice if I could figure out a way to change this in the source
and build my own patch file for it.
perhaps : No_credits.diff
any ideas or help would be just Great!
Well.. no. Any game which automatically saves it's state, high scores, credits, settings or anything else are only doing it because the hardware and software written did these things explicitly. To change, you'd need to reprogram the game.
Extra credits in a game.. is a problem? Why should a number of credits in a game matter unless you are charging for games or something? I'm curious.
No it just doesn't look authentic..
No I find it hard to Charge anyone when I don't even have a Cab..
Just a HotRod Controller and 2 Aimtrack lightguns.
I have never played any Arcade where I did not have to insert coins to
play! Imagine going to play an Arcade and finding a whole hour or so is free.
Because you have over 30 Credits already.
Being able to play these games for free without paying does in
a since make them much easier. It was that Frantic Moment when
you got to that big boss and all of the sudden you have to insert coins!
I want to re-create those intense moments!
It may not cost but it can take a little fumbling, nervousness to stop and
hit that coin button.
All this is gone when you already have accumulated credits.
If your not going to use the Credits as they are supposed to be used
you mid as well be running in Free Play mode...
Just my thoughts.
