I am running MAME 0.79
My cheat.dat file is not showing the cheat database ingame. I placed it in
the same directory as my mame executable. I can enable cheats in the game, but when I got to enable\disable cheat, it says "cheat database not found".
I have tried the latest cheat.dat file, the 0.69 version, and the 0.81 version. They are all doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is default database name in mame.ini "cheat.dat" ? Or have you renamed the database ?
But basically posting a code or asking about the cheat engine are predicate on later MAME and database.
Especially recent MAME has updated the cheat engine which adds new function and changes old one.
So we may be unable to support older version.
BTW, we should stop this thread because here is for POSTING CHEAT CODE.
And worse than all, Heihachi_73 starts to talk about Tekken again !

Moving topic and locking it...I replied to the same question by email(s) (the same person me thinks).
This sorted it:-
mame -createconfig
this will make a mame.ini file, check this line is in there:-
cheat_file cheat.dat
and
cheat 1
