Dear everyone!
Haven't you have had enough of changing your game, rebooting your Naomi, only to have that pesky "Checking Memory Please wait" message all the time?
Well; FEAR NOT! for the solution is at hand!
What would it take? A patched DIMM firmware you would assume? Well, it does not!
Thanks to nifty hidden Sega feature in the DIMM firmware, you too can get rid of the annoying message!
All you have to do is to add this line in your implementation of triforcetools.py
after
(as this enforces the memory checks for some reason)
Oh! And the cherry on top? The flag remains as long as your dimm board is powered using a battery!
Here is the modified triforcetools.py script that contains this change: https://mega.nz/file/AtknSJqJ#EsQ8wMKcFwPFnY8Blad3cwyoVjqqtcBiB-5F61IRVfM
Unfortunately because this relies on a network packet, this skip will only work on netdimms, CF or GD-ROM would likely truly require a firmware patch.
