Please help get it to work in MAME 0.145

Post by tofu »

Please could you help me get cheats to work in mame 0.145? I've read the tutorials and watched youtube explaining how to get it to work but nothing I did makes the cheat menu appear.. I'll explain what I did:

I downloaded XML Cheat Collection for MAME 0.145 (Release Date: 19th February 2012) and unzipped it to get cheat.zip which i looked inside and it has lots of XML files including bbakraid.xml.

Then I put it in /home/tofu/mame/cheats

I set the following lines in my mame.ini too:

Code: Select all

cheatpath                 /home/tofu/mame/cheats
cheat                     1
then I tried to run the game bbakraid and press tab to get the menu but there is no cheat menu there. I also tried putting cheat.zip in the same directory as mame executable but that didn't work either.

Thanks for any help. I really want to be able to see the rank display.

Have you tried just setting cheatpath in mame.ini to cheat:

cheatpath cheat

and put the cheat.zip into the same dir as the mame executeable?
