Emulator Cheats

great as usual

thanks

the one in the current xml does not work properly (you cannot activate it between levels, if you fall down from a platform you got stuck to the bottom of the screen etc.)

any help will be welcome

more important, did you set "cheat 1" in your mame.ini? you have to turn cheats on for the cheats option to appear (see documentation)

the current XML cheats contains strings which are not allowed by XML specs (and therefore by expat, the parser library): comments should not contain '--' i.e. more than a single dash in a row. the error while parsing the xml translates in an error reported by MAME (check Mametesters bug 2503), but i...

yes, probably a report on Mametesters would be better, since it seems more a core issue in the menu handling than a cheat specific problem

Small annoyance: in some of the mahjong games (e.g. ojankohs) with a cheat to view other player's pieces, the list of corresponding hex codes <-> pieces is too long to be visualized on a single screen. At the same time, (I guess because they use the MENU_FLAG_DISABLE, but I haven't investigated) you...

can anyone point me to a doc explaining the way write-if-match cheats work in MAME (if they do)?

I tried with the search option but with no luck...

for what i understood, looking around in the forum, shima is SUPER perfectionist: he always goes back to re-edit and re-check cheats in order to reach the 'perfect' cheat dat... in my opinion this is a wonderful goal, but it would be MUCH easier (even for him) if he would share his WIP cheat.dat (an...

being on the topic of 'disappeared' features, until 0.108 there was the option 'continue old search', which was quite useful, since the new search was continuing from the values resulted in the previous researches... i cannot reproduce the same kind of search with the new options in 0.111 (but recal...

first of all, sorry for not having checked uopokoj, but i was playing the international version and forgot about its clone...

next, i will pass this evening to examine both your posts to learn something more.

thanks to have spent some time teaching me

since my question is very basic, i didn't want to open a new thread. sorry to bump this one up, but i'm taking a first look to both mame and mess cheat engines and i'm quite eager to learn how things work since i read something about converting GB game sharks code in mess cheats, i was wondering if ...

ok, i am a complete newbie w.r.t. cheats, so i decided to pick up a game without cheats and see what can i do. i ended up with uopoko and here's my first findings :uopoko:00000000:100203:00000004:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 05 :uopoko:00000000:100203:00000009:FFFFFFFF:Next Level is Level 10 :uopoko...
