Question about the cheat file...

Can any of you say whether the cheat file will be split up to individual games in the near future? For example, a cheat file for one game and a separate cheat file for another?

Furthermore, are there any clones that have different cheats from their parent?

There's no plans on doing this at the moment - and there is little benefit in splitting it up from my point of view. Do a dir of a directory with 3050+ small files takes time and it will take a lot more diskspace than the one file. I have written a program to split the cheat file into single game cheat.dats - I use it to reassemble the cheat file in alphabetical order. WHY do you ask?

Yes there are clones with different cheats than the parent sets - there is a clone relationship list in the cheat file.

I asked what I asked because I thought that you could, for example, download only the cheats for games that you have, that's all.

Well I doubt its illegal to download cheats for games you don't have ;p and the cheat file isn't really a huge download .. there aren't really any benefits of having it in seperate files.
