Game is marked as not working, does work to a degree - so some simple infinite cheats to get it started. Originally made these as RAM cheats but decided to convert to ROM cheats for the time being as there is no need for separate P2 cheats and they where easier to replicate: optigera+optigerj <mamec...

Why not a cheat? Quickly knocked up this ROM cheat, only tested it for about 10 seconds and it seems to work. Might not work on later levels so you'll need to check. Add to ddragon2.xml:- <cheat desc="Select Button Method"> <comment>Allows you to have the same buttons regardless of the dir...

I've finally moved hosts, so we now have SSL (https) on the forums and the main website - so it should get rid of those pesky security reports from various browsers. Fingers crossed it will be faster for everybody as well. If anybody runs into any problems please either post them in this post or if ...

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to convert an XML cheat to a different file format, such as CHT or DAT? It can be done manually but I'm unsure that those games with their encrypted ROMs will actually support DAT ROM cheats to begin with. If you are going to play games in MAME I'd go with st...

Nope XML cheats are not supported in that.

Also maincpu.pb != maincpu.rw

If you don't make you own cheats then I don't understand why you want to save the cheats - they will be the same cheats that were loaded in last time. "Saved on exit" was a setting in old MAME to save any cheats that you found whilst using the cheat searching menus. If you mean, you want t...

Nope, if you've made a cheat in the cheat finder than you have to save it manually. It's no biggy to be honest, you get used to it.

MAME2003 not surprisingly is based on a MAME version from 20 years ago (to allow it run on potato devices) with MAME license breaking additions. You will need to manually download a suitable cheat.dat from the 2003 era and put that in a suitable location manually. I'd personally suggest you grab a n...

See this post:- http://www.mamecheat.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=27153#p27153 You must be using a old version of MAME....the cheat changed between the 0.221 and 0.245 cheat releases to make sure it still worked. So I'm guessing you are using a MAME version older than 0.245 with a cheat collection =...

Sorry I don't understand what the problem is... Drivers change over time, memory areas and regions change as do the game shortnames. For instance "machridra" no longer exists in 0.259 (or several versions before) The ROM area changed from maincpu to prg a long time ago - you should always ...

Bump for 0.259

Two months since the last release.... More or less a maintenance release again (there's always a lot of invisible work behind the scenes). I've also added lots of cheats from Abystus, and various cheats I've made in the interim (I don't post every cheat I make on the forums). Find the MAME 0.259 che...
