Ok this is a little hard to explain but here goes. I'm using unomame, I like this version because It allows the use of turbo on my buttons. My problem is pugsy's cheat dat that works with mslug3 does not work with mslug3n. In using unomame, mslug3 does not work, in that I can hear the game but the screen is all mess up. When I hit the tab button in this version (mslug3) then click on the cheats. It show that it supports them. But can't play because of the screen problem. On the other hand I can play the version (mslugn) but when I hit the tab button, No Cheats supported. Is there any way to get this working. Thanks for any help.

In the cheat.dat file, make another copy of all the lines starting with "mslug3:(something)", then change the copied lines to read "mslug3n:(something)". This will let you use the cheats for mslug3 with mslug3n.

Thanks for the help ianpatt. But what program do I use to open the dat file. I'm not a newbie, I just don't know.

You can use any program that can edit text files. Notepad or WordPad will work, just make sure you save the file in plain text format (not RTF or Word.)
