What will be included in the cheat.xml?

Post by Lurendrejer »

I've asked the question in my cheat REQ post.

But since i've found new stuff i would like to know if these will ever be included in a cheat-release.

i've managed to change the number of apponents in the royal rumble matches in WWFmania, this is done by setting a latter in an empty address space (eg 0102 0102 0102) and make the "next apponent" flag jump the normal FF set to end the match. This makes for a great amount of fun, and in my case, a way of not winning every single time. But, will this make it into a cheat file? since it isn't a cheat, but more of an extension of the actual gameplay mechanics?

kind regards, JH

Just because it's not a cheat doesn't rule it out from being added. There's many cheats in the cheat file which are strictly not cheats like game region select, skip RAM/ROM checks or disable music - but they are all valid things to go in the cheat file.

I have to admit I'm unlikely to understand many of the wwfmania cheats - all I can say is make sure you add some descriptive comments and I'll definitely add them. Post them all in a single post when you've finished and I'll insert them.
