Dear Pugsy.
I have some problem with the latest version of cheat using Macmame.
None of your version is good for Macmame 0.135
I put the file inside the right folder but when i push TAB i can't see nothing in the menu.
Probably i need of an older cheat version for Macmame?
Please replay
thanks a lot
Stefan

Re: MacMame Version 0.135 Cheat HELP!
I don't have a MAC so really can't help but are you following the relevant info in the cheat.txt file ? :-
Code: Select all
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 1 Basic Instructions on enabling cheats in MAME
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to do with the cheat.zip file :-
Step 1 (what to do with the cheat.zip file )
============================================
First of all do NOT unzip the cheat.zip file - it will work just fine as a zip,
it contains 8831 xml files so unzipping it is not advised.
First of all unzip/un7z the still packed cheat.zip file into the same directory
that contains MAME.EXE (All platforms apart from Mac OS 9/X ).
For MacMAME the cheat.zip file should be in:-
${HOME}/Documents/MacMAME User Data/Misc Support Files
For MAME OS X (not SDLMAME OSX!) the cheat.zip file should be in:-
${HOME}/Library/Application Support/MAME OS X
Step 2 (Enable the MAME Cheat Engine)
=====================================
As standard the MAME Cheat Engine is turned OFF, there are several ways of
turning it ON depending on which platform you are running MAME on.
MAME: This is the standard MAME command line compile, go to your MAME
directory open up the MAME.INI file with a text editor (the one you
are using to read this will probably do!).
Find '### Mame CORE misc options ###' and change 'cheat 0' to
'cheat 1'. If you have no INI file then just start MAME from the
command-line with the -createconfig option eg. 'MAME -createconfig'.
If you manually use MAME every time from the command-line you can also
just add '-cheat' to the command line.
MAMEUI: This is the MAME with build in frontend compile for Windows. Go to
the Options Menu, and select "Default Options". Go to the
Miscellaneous tab and check the box that says "Enable Game Cheats".
DMAME: This is the DOS MAME compile, go to your MAME directory open up the
MAME.CFG file with a text editor (the one you are using to read this
will probably do!).
Find 'cheat off' and change it to 'cheat on'. If you have no CFG file
then just start MAME from the command-line with the -createconfig
option eg. 'MAME -createconfig'. If you manually use MAME every time
from the command-line you can also just add '-cheat' to the
command-line.
UNIX: For the UNIX/LINUX compiles just follow the instructions for DMAME
the DOS compile.
OS9/X: From the front-end, go to the Misc tab, and check the box that says
"Allow Cheats".

Re: MacMame Version 0.135 Cheat HELP!
Dear Pugsy.

I follow your istruction and i made this:
1) First of all do NOT unzip the cheat.zip file - it will work just fine as a zip,
it contains 8831 xml files so unzipping it is not advised.
2) For MAME OS X (not SDLMAME OSX!) the cheat.zip file should be in:-
${HOME}/Library/Application Support/MAME OS X

OS9/X: From the front-end, go to the Misc tab, and check the box that says
"Allow Cheats".
Did you do that too?

Re: MacMame Version 0.135 Cheat HELP!
I've updated cheat.txt to reflect it can be "Enable Cheats" too.
From the above it's unclear if that fixed your problem?
