Pre-enable possible with this solution?

Post by mickkn »

After reading alot on this forum, I guess its not possible to pre-enable cheats in any way with the XML cheats

I use a build of MameXT 0.139

Would it be possible to use cheat.dat 0.126 on that build somehow, and use the pre-enable feature, that way ?
Or is cheat.dat only for mame versions below 0.126

If not, are there any news on the feature for the XML version ?

Excited about this:

here is no longer applicable. Stay tuned for the new method (which should be
a LOT easier).

No you can't use cheat.dat with MAME versions after 0.126.

And I wouldn't get too excited about that from readme - it's old and it never panned out.

From the number of posts about pre-enable it's not something that many people use or miss that much.

I see, just miss to have the neogeo games in mame on Home System by default. Guess I'll have to get 0.126 and a decent romset for that, then.

You can use the unibios with vanilla mame:

Code: Select all

mame yourgame -bios uni-bios_2_3
