Flashing Lights in 'House of the Dead'

Hello,
I was wondering if someone knows where to find a cheat or if it would be possible for someone to make a cheat for the SEGA Model 2 Emulator that would stop the flashing lights every time you fire your gun in 'House of the Dead'? I find myself unable to play the game for long because my eyes hurt too much from the constant white flashes. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I can likely do this for MAME no problems, but it will be a ROM address and poke value - never played with the Model 2 Emulator so I don't know if it would convert or work with it.

Ok, had a look in MAME debugger you can do this:-
maincpu.md@18610=0a000000
How you convert it for the Model 2 Emulator is over to you

Decided to have a look at it:-
hotd.lua:-
Code: Select all
require("model2")
function Init()
end
function Frame()
Model2_SetWideScreen(1)
Model2_SetStretchALow(1)
Model2_SetStretchBLow(1)
Model2_SetStretchAHigh(1)
Model2_SetStretchBHigh(1)
end
function credits_cheat_f(value)
I960_WriteWord(RAMBASE+0x1EE38,0x63);
end
function p1_lives_cheat_f(value)
I960_WriteWord(RAMBASE+0x1EC10,5);
end
function p1_bullets_cheat_f(value)
I960_WriteWord(RAMBASE+0x1EC41,6);
end
function p2_lives_cheat_f(value)
I960_WriteWord(RAMBASE+0x1ECDC,5);
end
function p2_bullets_cheat_f(value)
I960_WriteWord(RAMBASE+0x1ED0D,6);
end
function noflash_cheat_f(value)
Romset_PatchDWord(ROMBASE,0x18610,0xa000000);
end
Options =
{
credits_cheat={name="Infinite Credits",values={"Off","On"},runfunc=credits_cheat_f},
p1_lives_cheat={name="P1 Infinite Lives",values={"Off","On"},runfunc=p1_lives_cheat_f},
p1_bullets_cheat={name="P1 Infinite Bullets",values={"Off","On"},runfunc=p1_bullets_cheat_f},
p2_lives_cheat={name="P2 Infinite Lives",values={"Off","On"},runfunc=p2_lives_cheat_f},
p2_bullets_cheat={name="P2 Infinite Bullets",values={"Off","On"},runfunc=p2_bullets_cheat_f},
noflash_cheat={name="No Flash on Shooting (Stays ON on first toggle)",values={"Off","On"},runfunc=noflash_cheat_f}
}
