Text Ripping - TGM2P
#249343 - 03/19/11 12:44 PM


TGM2P ( Tetris: The Grand Master 2 PLUS )
I Love and play this Game with a 16:10 Monitor and aspect Ratio off in Full Screen.
But with Vert Stretch 1.092 and Vert Position -0.003, near perfect for me, only near because i "hate" the PLUS Text bottom right.
Now my Question: Are there any Way to disable this PLUS Text or change the String with Spaces?
Ripping off this Text, bring me and this Masterpeace of a Game a little bit more Vert Stretching.

The in-game "PLUS" text? Or on the title screen? I'm assuming the former.

Take the following text (between the dashed lines), and save it in a file called "tgm2p.xml", place in the "cheat" folder (create it if it doesn't exist, enable cheats in MAME, load MAME and enable the cheat.

For those interested, it just patches the text where it is loaded into RAM by sticking a NUL-terminator at the start of the string, truncating it to nothing.

<cheat desc="Hide PLUS text">

</script>
</cheat>

it works - it realy works!

many thanks for work and Time that you give me,
and yes, i have mean the in-game "PLUS" text.

I use the Cheat with autosave/savestate to ripped off the "PLUS" text from start,
but this bring me a new Question: Can i directly start the Game with this Cheat activated, without the use of savesates?

so or so I am Happy now

I don't think the current cheat system allows auto-cheats to be enabled, and since I chose to patch the copy of the program running from ram rather than the roms, you need to wait until after it is loaded, or you'll break the ram tests.

You could patch the rom instead if you really want, but it'll fail MAME's checksum.
Since it is a one-time thing until you reset the machine, I'd just go with auto savestates.

Put
autosave 1

in tgm2p.ini if you don't want it enabled for all games.
