Emulator Cheats

Winning hand cheat - Must have 14 tiles in hand, game takes a second or 2 to register the change. <cheat desc="Get Winning Hand Now!"> <comment>Activate the cheat once when you have 14 tiles in your hand and press the 'RON' key (default is the 'Z' key)</comment> <script state="on"...

Woo! i'm all back & stuff! Now MAME has a half decent cheat engine, i'm back to searching cheats n stuff :) anyhoo, a WIP, <cheat desc="winning hand? WIP"> <script state="run"> <action>maincpu.ppb@00004724=3E</action> <action>maincpu.ppb@0000466C=3E</action> <action>maincpu.p...

I've not found anything other than the stuff we've got already.

I thought the sans ring was you don't lose health on the outside.

Right, I'll go through that lot and note down what's broke, then do a topic in cheat requests.

None of 'em work. Tried every version, even Ultimate MK3.

I'd tinker around myself, but the engine seems to have a distinct lack of an EDIT CHEAT function in MAMEPLUS.

Here's Hoping.........

So let me see if I'm understanding this.

<action>main.pb@0151=09</action>

<Action> </Action> is self explanatory, Main.pb I'm assuming means the main "board" of the game, @0151 is the memory address and =09 is the poke value?

AFAIK from the limited mahjong I understand, is that the 4 "wind" tiles you get along with the 2 red dragons is lucky in Japanese culture and thats why it's worth more. It's like in some "blackjack" machines or "hi-lo" machines, Spades are better than clubs are better t...

Well, pedantic or not....I just copied the name on the artwork, which in many instances will be seen when the cheat menus are open. If Sega also called the character Ax Battler then they couldn't have made their minds up! Well this is from the attract mode, and thats how it's spelled there, so I'd ...

Gah crap.

I'll prolly get used to it, but it's the learning to use the p##s thing that'll give me headaches.

Thanks I have a question though. Some games are obviously clones of others but why are there different poke values? And does it matter? It's to prevent piracy AFAIK, they set a different checksum by bunging a few dummy bytes at the beginning ot the ROM, hopefully so the pirates who have cracked thi...

I'm gonna be Mr Pedantic bastard here.

The Warror's name is "Ax Battler"

No "e"

Quite why I'm not sure, but whatever.

This is more up my ally.

I'll see what I can do.

Nope, there are only different weapons in the PC version.

Even the different character cheats are just polygon model swaps.

Really?

I started on the old PSX Action Replay cart, so getting used to the MAME way was a little difficult.

Anyway, I'll give this a look, shouldn't be all that hard.

Right, I'm back and after working periodically, I still cannot get a consistent value for any of the cheats, which leads me to the conclusion that ROM cheats are the way to go with this. Considering I have more experience with juggling burning hedgehogs than ROM cheats, I humbly pass the buck to som...

Right, I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I'll work on these codes then.

Just don't expect an update from me for a few weeks.

Peace out y'all!

Hasn't the machine gotta be on for a certain ammount of time to unlock them?

Try hacking a code for the internal clock. then bung the days count into 6 digits and everything should unlock.

they are.

I can get the dog to fall, and search the values, but it gets to like, 30 odd, and won't go lower, the sheer ammount of combinations of these codes is ridiculous and to top it off, if I reset the search and do it again, I END UP WITH A DIFFERENT NUMBER!

Grrrrrrrrr.

'Redbeam' was here a few days ago. It's perhaps worth PM'ing him to asking him to have a look. I was also going to suggest asking 'wayder' at his japanese forum, alas he has BANNED fighting game requests there! (hope we're not giving Pugsy ideas here :wink: Now about your 'Punisher' cheat, do you r...

hello, is there any way to convert the KI and K2 codes above for finishers and combos and all the great stuff listed above to work with the new current mame cheat format please? Considering the new format doesn't WORK, I'd say thats not even remotely on the cards yet. try using MAMEUIFX (http://mam...
