Supermodel NVRAM issue
« on: July 12, 2014, 12:07:25 am »
Anybody got a trick to automatically clear the NVRAM for a given game upon start up or exit of Supermodel?

The issue with Star Wars Trilogy - the one where if you exit with coins on the counter when you play next time you have to clear out the NVRAM and restart using keyboard shortcuts (Alt-N; Alt-R) or else it's crash city - is really annoying when you're trying to not have a keyboard around. 

I guess an AHK script would work, just need to have it listen for the game to start then send the key presses - if Supermodel will recognize them.  Any other options?  Anybody want to write me a quick vbs or ahk script?

Issue is my kids are coin happy and jump games a lot.  Then Tril gets broke. 

Might be easiest to write a batch that just deletes swtrilgy.nv everytime I exit the game.  hrm

Edit:  That was easy

Code: [Select]
@echo off

echo Y | del c:\arcade\supermodel\nvram\swtrilgy.nv > nul

just give that to my FE as a post command and we're good to hook.
