Re: Intel .HEX to cheat converter?
My Berzerk taunts cheat was a machine code routine (see mame cheats section). I created code to hook the speech synthesis of Berzerk. I took every byte output from the hex file and pasted it into an XML file, byte for byte. The HEX file records the ORG (address) so you can compute the memory address...

Intel .HEX to cheat converter?
I was wondering if there's any existing programs that will take an intel .HEX file and produce a MAME cheats XML with them?
If not, no worries, I will be able to code something like that up.

Re: Berzerk new robot taunts
Here's the Z80 source for the cheat, if you want to add your own taunts. You can paste this direct into a Z80 project on ASM80 online to build. and produce the hex opcodes to make the cheat. The EQUs below are the unique IDs of the words that Berzerk supports. If you create derivative works from thi...

Berzerk new robot taunts
I've been reverse engineering Berzerk (http://seanriddle.com/berzerk.asm) and managed to work out how speech is generated. As a result, I've created some new taunts for the robots - 14 of them, to be precise. I think they make the game more fun. This will patch the COLOUR TEST code from $0200 onward...

Re: Robotron 2084 Blue Label cheats / game mods
Hi, I've created a new cheat that, I think, changes the gameplay to be more like Smash TV. Spheroids will now drop 5 GRUNTs at a time (until 15 or mor e GRUNTs are on screen), and loiter until destroyed. You need to use my "disable protection" cheat before you enable this one . BTW my disa...

Z80 port tracing
Am working on Gorf at the moment. I was wondering, is it possible in MAME to put a watch on a Z80 I/O port? For example, ports that read # of credits inserted, switches etc with the IN A, (C) instruction and OUT (C), A? etc. With memory mapped IO I can use WPSET, but I don't know what I can use for ...

Re: MAME debugger question
Hi Pugsy, thanks for your advice. Am confused now (doesn't take much) :D I did see on Sean Riddle's site (http://seanriddle.com/willhard.html) that you can set reads to be from ROM or RAM though: "Memory address $C900 is used for a few miscellaneous things: bit 0 selects RAM or ROM in the memor...

MAME debugger question
A cheat I'm working on requires a patch to a ROM address at $4A02. In the MAME debugger, if I type: maincpu.mb@4A02 = 39 nothing happens. but if I type: maincpu.mb@ 1 4A02 = 39 then an RTS is inserted correctly and the patch is made. I'm using MAME 0.171, Feb 2016. The question I have is, how do you...
