MAME 0.112 & 0.113 - Cannot Search for Cheats

Post by kranser »

I cannot search for cheats in MAME 0.112 & 0.113, as the menu option is missing from the cheat menu.

Has this functionality changed, or is it just broken?

Thanks for any help.

MAME 0.112 was broken (with u3 anyway, which I had), but 0.113 works fine here. The cheat engine has changed around a bit and might take a bit of getting used to.

0.113 doesn't work for me. I haven't tried 0.113u1 yet though.


Is there any documentation on the new changes?

Thanks,

Make sure you have the latest cheat file (0.112) as the earlier cheat file may cause problems.

I have serious troubles with the "renewed" cheat engine.

THE MOST SERIOUS is that I can no longer choose mem areas as I desire.
This is deprecable.

Please, restore this function AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - Many games require this to find cheats!!!

I've mentioned it a few times, see my reply to this post:-

No, no, not the watchpoints, select memory areas was an option in the "options" menu. Where it's gone?

How about reading 'my' entire post in that thread before assuming I've got the wrong end of the stick......your question is answered and I am aware you weren't asking about the watchpoints

Thanks Pugsy, that was the problem.

I was using an old cheat.dat file, which didn't work at all using the new cheat engine. But now with the cheat112 file, all seems to be ok.
