Infos regarding the F5 configuration menu
« on: January 10, 2013, 02:01:50 PM »
Hi everyone, thanks for the work on FBA, this emulator is pretty cool indeed :)

Here is my concern: I am mostly using FBA through GGPO and SUPERCADE which are 2 clients for online gaming, especially old school fighting games.

GGPO uses FBA v0.2.96.74, I don't remember Supercades but it matters less.

I recently learned, regarding NEOGEO games, that the region (arcade, console) could be changed when you play online, by modifying the System data in the F5 configuration menu
(ie for Garou:MOTW by inputing 0x82 instead of 0x86 for console mode)

My question is: what are each of this F5 menu parameters for ? Except the game mapping of course :)
What are the Dips and dips debug for ?

And even more importantly, can I actually modify the game parameters when changing these inputs ? I know I can set the region to console, but can I use it maybe like a cheat for infinite life, infinite power, time, stuff like this ?

Is this even possible ?

Hoping some answers :)
