I was told that a Game made a nvram files when nothing is showing in that folder for the game ?


I have noticed only a couple of games are making nvram files with wolf145.. How can i see a nvram file if it's not in that folder and remove it?

If you're referring to stopping nvram files getting in the way of your recordings being valid for Marp then a previous posting by Barry, found using a search for NVRAM, will be of help:

BeeJay.

problem is i can'nt remove what i can'nt find or see.

NVRAM files are stored in the folder <nvram_directory>/<romset> by default. There may be multiple files in the folder, depending on how many devices in the system have some form of NVRAM.

If you set -nvram_directory to NUL (or /dev/null for Unix/Linux/BSD/OS X) then MAME cannot read any NVRAM files, nor will it save any.

O.k. with Wolf145 it only made a NVRAM Folder for very few games.

The game i was told had the NVRAM in it. It was never in the folder too ever see.

the first time i played back the brapboysu it only played back to 33, but then when i "thought" i saw an nvram it played back 368, evidence that this is usually a recording that is made with a default nvram file. but i've double checked and there really is no nvram made in this game! sorry, just intermittent correct or incorrect playback caused me to believe nvram was the culprit.

Put a blank NVRAM file in the same folder as MAME. That will prevent MAME from being able to create an NVRAM folder.

This has the same effect as -nvram_directory NUL
