ZERO WING - Red Screen Flashing

[Astro X]

the game is great, but the red flashing really kicks my nuts.

in mame, there is a cheat "Disable Red Screen Flashing"

can this be used to create a patch for the pcb roms?
is anyone able to do this?

mame cheat:

<cheat desc="Disable Red Screen Flashing"> <comment>Stops the whole screen flashing red when something is hit</comment>
<script state="on">
<action>temp0 =maincpu.mw@00186</action>
</script>
<script state="run">
<action>maincpu.mw@00186=6010</action>
</script>
<script state="off">
<action>maincpu.mw@00186=temp0 </action>
</script>
</cheat>

if memory location #000186 is in rom then you could patch it - and fix any checksum required.

Wondering if anyone was able to incorporate this into modified roms? Would be great to remove the red flashes.

 

[stj]

well it looks like romspace.
which zero wing is it? the one play or 2 player version?

 

[jepjepjep]

I think it happens on all of the versions.

 

[stj]

i meant, which one do you need a patch for?

Oh sorry, I misread that. I have the Williams license version, which corresponds to zerowingw romset.
