SFA 3 'No cheats for this game'

Post by ju1ius »

Hi, I'm using MAME32 v0.119 with the latest cheat file v0.117 and I tried activating cheats for Street Fighter Alpha 3 (SFA3) but when I go to the "Enable/Disable Cheats" it says "There are no cheats for this game". But when I open the the cheat file, SFA3 has a section for cheats.

So how come it doesn't recognize that there are cheats for this game?

Thanks.

Why is it that most people having problems use mame32.............maybe there's some sort of connection?

Well, it's true that only MameUI(formerly Mame32) does not enable ALL of the cheats including Regional and others. Yeah, I know what you guys went through because the same thing happened to me. I was able to enable the cheats in Mame32, but not exactly what I wanted. I think MameUI needs to do something about that, maybe create some sort of code that when you go into Default Game Options in Mame32 and select enable cheats, once you lode the game, all of the cheats should be enabled.

hmm... i had a problem like that once... you should try deleting the first colon in the cheat file for that game (instead of looking like this :gamename:00000000:000000:00000000:00000000:, make it look like this gamename:00000000:000000:00000000:00000000:)
sorry if this doesnt help :wink:

SFA3

Post by astro2 »

i hope this isn't a site where noobs get ignored otherwise i won't be learning anything


anyways I am playing SFA3 on "mame32 plus 0.78" and it is the most cheapest game EVER, especially since im trying to win with bison, i wanna give you the run down on why i'm getting p*ssed off but i don't wanna bore you

i just wanna see if i can use some MAME cheat and use shin bison

but i'm noob at this

1. there is no cheat option to allow you to select a cheat file on mame
2. do i d/l a certain cheat for the specific game or do i just get the latest cheat file from here and thats it?

need help plz :)

i've read the guide to activate this so called 'cheat engine' and its already set to 'cheat - 1' and cheat.dat is in my mame root folder...now what??

NEVERMIND - DON'T NEED HELP


i never fiddled with mame much and therefore didn't notice the obvious press ''TAB''

to get the cheat menu

can't get shin bison but the normal cheats are good enough to f*ck with the cpu player.

I'm using MAMEUI32 v0.124u1 (the latest) and while I can get the cheat menu to appear and at least some of the cheats to work, such as character select, I cannot get the "Select Colour Unlock" cheat to work.
