Emulator Cheats

Feature not a bug, immediate numbers with a leading zero are interpreted as octal now. The plugin doesn't replicate that (and hopefully won't have to).

I've added support for cheat toggle keys. They can be set using the Set Hotkeys option from the plugin-cheat menu. The keys are saved in a json file in the cheat dir. The menu only allows setting a number plus a modifier for the hotkey but any combination can be added to the json file.

Copy paste error, fixed now.

A text entry box is not currently doable but I did add a naming feature based on your list. Feel free to suggest more.

It doesn't get reported as invalid for me. Are you using an old cheat archive?

:vii/10in1:20B9:0003:Infinite Lives ( Lightning Plan ) :mslug:106E93:3C:Infinite Time This should be straightforward except the cpu tag should be included as there are a significant number of drivers with tags other than :maincpu and so the separator can't be a colon. Also the cheatfinder doesn't d...

Here it fixed up, https://gist.github.com/cracyc/388fccf28771a558e0b35e88ec0918c1 . The builtin cheat engine chokes on the memory region though, I'm not sure what the correct syntax is for that. BTW, you seemed (my impression, tell me if I'm wrong) to think that the XML cheats made things too comple...

The ram cheats working was actually a bug in luaengine. To make them work properly the 8 bit writes need to be 16 bit and the address needs to be divided by 2.

Edit: Rom cheats can work now. The region needs to be ":cartslot:cart:rom" and the multibyte writes need to be byteswapped.

Thanks for pointing it out though as I'd commented out all the vii cheats as they had stopped working in the main cheat engine, didn't realise they worked in the new engine (had to fix the ROM cheats but would have to do that for the xml cheat engine anyway). So another +1 for the plugin cheat engi...

Kinst cheats point to logical rather than physical addresses which is a bit annoying. Should be able to have a fix soon though. Edit: done, let me know if you see any more (or new) issues. Edit: WRT colons, I'd rather not change that if it's not necessary but I can if it's common. One uncommon const...

It won't show in the builtin cheat engine only in the cheat plugin (and it does work, just tested it). I added the ability to search shared ram regions of which that range is one (https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/59c4af5615097d75db72e1c6bbb47f8b9dcef4aa/src/mame/machine/pgmprot_igs027a_type2.cpp...

Here's a quick script to illustrate scripting the lua cheat finder. It watches for the "Coin 1" press and shows all ram bytes that increase by one. Might help in finding the credit value. Use with autoboot_script like "mame.exe asteroid -plugin cheatfind -window -autoboot_script credi...

Okay, fixed the first, did a large refactor then added the second. The refactor will make further changes much easier, let me know if I broke anything in the process.

This is what I mean (and currently see):- http://s32.postimg.org/v99nwr1ep/example.jpg Okay, now it looks like that. I think a Show next option would be better than having "Blocks match" as I've done some searches and there was nothing showing under Blocks match 1 but there where under Bl...

This is for the Dungeons and Dragons Computer Labyrinth game and might be the first cheat in the new effort to emulate LCD handhelds and other electronic games. It shows the walls which the player would find by the sound it made and place manually. This cheat will only work with the lua cheat engine...

1. If possible can you make it so that when you do a SAVE CURRENT it will update the Left Operand so if Left Operand was previously = Current it will stay as "Current" 2. In a similar manner if the Right Operand was previously "Current - 1" when you hit SAVE CURRENT can you make...

This is a port of mame-rr's sf2 hitbox viewer script for the new lua cheat plugin. It's probably far larger than any cheat ever posted here so I'm not putting it inline. To use it just save it as sf.json in you cheat dir.

Thanks, for those and the earlier quick fixes. Sorry I'd not responded to the last email (all sounds ok to me)...RL stuff so only just done a 0.173 build. Cool, should only take a few minutes to do those changes. I know this was working before, but wayder is correct its broken now. with cheatpath c...

error log(run): init.lua:480: attempt to index a nil value (local 'file') error log(use cheat menu): init.lua:309: attempt to index a nil value (field '?') Fixed this, you don't need to recompile you only have to get the plugin/cheat/init.lua file. google brought me here when i looked for documenta...
