All the ROMs are zip files, right? ... So just open it, take the eeprom file out of the zip and put it in the nvram folder.
(in which case, you gotta make one in the same directory as the MAME exe and put it in there)

What if there's no eeprom inside the ROM to begin with? >_>  All the ROMs I've found/looked at don't have one.

Get the updated roms or something. All of mine have EEPROM files in it, oddly enough.

Okay, I found the needed files.  This is pretty neat.  It doesn't fix all the lag, since it's just one frame, but it's still quite nice.  Maybe further versions will be able to remove even more.

Edit:  savestates aren't working though.  That could be a problem. :/

Actually, there's always a safespot in the centre.
And the card is fun because you can get over 2.5 million score on this card alone if you play it right~

here's my best scoring attempt for a single photo.. my feeling is that there are a lot of scenes in this game that are really painful to play for score :( (3-4 included, if you go for the Nice Shot aura and the Risk Bonus
Spoiler:
climbing that damned rope and getting the Nice Shot aura to activate at the exact time I'm grazing both streams is depressing
)

and here's my current best score for 9-2, one of the few scenes that I enjoyed playing for score.. (currently grinding 9-3, stopped following scene order by level 6, there's 6-6 left and
Spoiler:
getting near Suika is proving to be an irritating challenge, considering how difficult it seems to discern the medium-sized cloud projectiles and their path
)

How much time do you guys think it will take for HM to be translated? Besides everyone's story modes and the whole menus, there's also the fact that the way HM's programmed is different from all other games. I bet it'll take two months.

9-8 captured, with a stroke of luck.
How lucky, you ask?



I somehow made it through that spot entirely like that.

Also, I'm going to be out of town all day tomorrow, which means I won't be around for voting for next week and stuff. Therefore, I'm leaving it up to you guys!

General week, vote for anything we haven't played yet. Whatever gets mentioned the most is what we play, so choose wisely, especially because-- here is the surprise-- whoever wins this upcoming week's competition also wins IP (or Speshul Membah if you are already IP/IM/ID/whatever other colorstatus).

since I have nothing special (that I thought people would like to play :p) to suggest (besides Varth and Raiden Fighters Jet or even Thunder Dragon 2 ;p ), either Phantasm Romance 2.5 Plus (which requires Danmakufu) on both Normal and Another Mode, or Change Air Blade or Giga Wing (Azinth suggested both, while I suggested ESP Ra.De and Garegga. It would be fair to have them in..) will have to do :D

So, my vote goes to Phantasm Romance 2.5 Plus, even though it's probably not going to win (and I'm fine with playing Giga Wing, or the other games I've mentioned.. of which Varth and RFJ have uncommon gameplay features -- rechargeable bombs/invulnerability when picking items and chainable bonuses, respectively)

I want to vote for Giga Wing but I probably won't have time to play again this week. In fact, I probably won't until May. :|

Buy me a J-PS2 with the game or a non-shitty computer that could theoretically emulate it and it's a deal.  ::)

As fun as that sounds, you're not allowed to vote for DOJ since not everyone has access to it.

Garegga's is optional(and not really that bad anyway), and GW bosses only last like 90 seconds even with boss milking.  Please do not compare Ra.De's ungodly abomination of a milking mechanic to them.  :ohdear:

I was talking about using the lagless mame, which is based off MAME v0.137.  Using wolfmame .99 would be kinda couterproductive. :V

Oh, didn't realize you meant the nimitzmame. nope then I don't think there's a way to use save-states for those games unless someone made a lagless version of wolfmame .99 or some other older version.

0.137 (and a few versions before that too) sorta borked the cave drivers .... again.

10-8's really not so hard once you get into a groove. It's pretty much static if you move the exact same way each time.
