About This File

Did you know Atomiswave and Naomi games have English language settings along with other important settings, features and unlocks you are missing out on!?
Yes it's true, no more fumbling with Google Translate.

With the NVMEM pack I have painstakingly put together you can get access to these features without having to go through those settings yourself.

I spend hours doing this so you don't have to :) Creating a 'definitive' pack for play..... not display

-Unlock hidden game modes, characters and cars. Some games require engineer passwords to unlock characters, which has been done for you.
-No need to add coins as every title here has been set to free play.
-Every games audio has been set to stereo as mono is the default for many of them.
-All light gun games have been calibrated in the test menu. This ensures accuracy.
-Features like Blood in some games has now been turned on, as off is often the default.

'WHERE DO I PUT THESE FILES?' I hear you ask. If using the Flycast core in RetroArch go to RetroArch/saves/Sammy Atomiswave/reicast, and place them here.
EDIT: Some people have been reporting their reicast saves folder is in a different location. It could be located 'RetroArch/saves/reicast' or 'RetroArch/saves/"rom location folder"/reicast'

Know that you aren't missing out on anything. Below is a table list of every game and the associated rom that these are for along with any engineer passwords that were required to use. Only the settings I changed are listed. Everything else was left as default as that is the preferred way to play. 

I do want to do this for Naomi too at some point. Then......MAME....Maybe.
EDIT: THIS HAS NOW BEEN DONE. THE LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE

Yeah I have decided to tackle this project bit by bit. Naomi on its own is fine as about 100 games, but MAME is just massive. So I'm gonna do Model 2 and 3 after Naomi and then tackle mame board by board for eg Namco System 22 and work my way through it that way, then mop up the rest. I have too many projects at the moment and no time to do them.

Goodness this is wild! I remember fumbling around with getting red blood in Metal Slug 6 a few months back, not fun.
This is excellent, I will try this one out soon.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Yeah that one I could not to get to work myself. I sourced a NVMEM file that had some magic applied to get red blood.

Thanks! 

Just to let you know, if i place the files where you say, it doesn't work for me. I need to place in "RetroArch\saves\reicast" to make it work.

Thanks for making me aware of this. I have heard peoples reicast folders are in different places depending on their setup and which folder the roms are in. I'll amend the description to make peoples aware of this. Muchos Gracias

Hi @normchomsky , thanks for the pack. Any reason why "Other" area is preferred than N. America in some games?

For the games that have their areas set to other there is no other choices. Some games have N.America or Export as an option. With the ones under 'other' there is no other option.

For red blood in kof xi region has to be on other than you can turn on, language can still be English, house of the dead and zombie revenge also have red blood in test menu, also there is another 2 in here that you didn't have, forgot which 2, 

https://github.com/TheArcadeStriker/flycast-wiki/wiki/Savedata-and-Extras-for-NAOMI-Atomiswave-games

Sorry just posted here instead of bouncing between namoi and atomiswave , another thing is alot need USA bios set for them to work, red blood in zombie and house of the dead, use standalone flycast to find, option won't show in retroarch,then you can copy nvmem over to your retroarch , vf4 turn off network to speed up loading , one was cannon spike and I forget the other but in link with nvmen done, house of the dead and zombie revenge are both in test menu, game assignment, violence mode on, the other one from the link that you missed might have been the rumble fish 2

Super thanks for letting me know. I think a couple of these that I have missed are on in the nvmem but just not mentioned in the documentation. The KOF one I defo missed. 
I'm finishing up a Sega Model 3 project then will be jumping back on this and the Naomi pack I put out as I need to update that, as Mazan is actually playable with a mouse.
