and i am a bit disapointed with the new cheat engine :

Join the club! The cheat engine was not new though...it was the old one hacked to make it unusable and bug ridden. It was so bad it brought forward the current cheat engine re-write by Aaron (the latest MAME u releases are cheat engineless)

where can i asign a key for a cheat (the activation key !)

I don't think you can. I suggest you recompile with the old cheat.c

There have been **MASSIVE** changes to the memory system in MAME, compiling the old cheat engine with the new cheat engine though theritically is possible in practical terms it is NOT something that is going to be worth the effort.

Have you heard if the activation key feature will be added? I've read up on the demise of the last engine, and one point that bothered me was that if it was useful to the devs, it is more likely to be there. I don't think they need it, but some cheats definitely do.

If it's coming, I will be patient. Meanwhile I've been looking for the last version that had working activation keys. I've tried every sdlmame back to 117, including u versions, to no avail.

MAMEuiFX32-v.126 is the only ui build I know which had the last fully working cheat engine. Other 0.126 builds had the abortion of the cheat engine.

You maybe able to find it by searching for "mameuifx32_0126.exe"

I said sdlmame, because I'm on Linux. Unfortunately, I can get to the edit menu, but when I try to set an activation key, the game hangs. (0.125). It must be a problem unique to sdlmame. If I want it badly enough I'll try to add it to the txt file with an editor.
