Emulator Cheats

You sure you are using V 0.132 of MAME?

Thanks,

I'm using MAMEUI32 0.129.

I just downloaded what I thought was the latest version from http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/mame.html.

I have the cheat.zip in the same dir as my mame.exe, and when I open it with cheats enabled, I get the parsing error I posted above. When the game starts, the TAB key will give me the menu for controls, etc., but no cheats.

You should bookmark MAMEUI's homepage. 0.129 is sort of old now and in the large group of MAME versions that weren't very good.

FYI - [maglord] and [maglordh] cheats are nonfunctional. And, as long as they're being fixed, the "select character" names should be "Dragon Warrior", "Waterman", "Poseidon", "Shinobi", "Samurai", and "Raijin" as per the post how-to-play screen.

Thanks for the report, it will be fixed in the next release along with the character names. As a quick fix for the non-working cheats in the mean time you can swap the maglord and maglordh files around.

Updated, if you post any errors or issues please ensure you are using the latest 0.134 cheat collection.

Thank you very much Pugsy

Infinite Lives for the game Astro Chase[Max-A-Flex] (1982) doesn't work. I'm only stuck with 3 lives on any level I play. I would like to see infinite invincibility add as well.

Megaman2 max charge cheats still have the temp0 conditions left out.

Needs to be this, otherwise your charge is always minimum.

Thanks, I added it as was - fixed them now.

XML format obviously does not care about whitespace, but I do need to add them in a way that assists in long-term maintenance.

When I added XML passthrough to my converting tool I purposely made it so it only passed through properly spaced XML so "<action" must be preceded by exactly SIX spaces so there is a standard. I normally catch most of them when adding them but missed these.

Adding the function to my cheat file checker to test for incorrect number or spaces and soft tabs for new type cheats has been is in my todo list for a few months now (must treat it with some urgency now as there maybe some others I've missed).


"<argument" preceded by exactly 8 spaces
"<action", "<item", "<output", "</output" preceded by exactly 6 spaces
"<script"/, "/<script>, "<parameter", "</parameter" preceded by exactly 4 spaces
"<cheat" & "</cheat" preceded by exactly 2 spaces


UPDATE: I've updated my cheat checking tool and so I've fixed all the whitespace issues for the next release for passthrough XML cheats.

Sorry. I'll try to keep that in mind when I post. I was never one to care to much for detail in spacing. I just figure if I can read it, it must be good enough.

"Always have easy supers" is not working in "Garou - Mark of the Wolves"

Normally with it enabled + infinite power and energy you need just hold the down arrow and tap one of the following:
ctrl or alt or space bar.

and one of 3 super powers would activate.

Please fix.

thank you.

It works fine. You're doing it wrong. It's d,d+[A or B] for DMs and d,d,+[C or D] for SDMs. A,B,C, and D being the buttons on the Neo Geo.

Hello Pugsy. Can you please add this two codes for Mortal Kombat 2(all revisions), which worked on the old cheat engine:

[ Mortal Kombat II (rev L3.1) ]
:mk2:39800000:00D348:000000F8:000000FF:Low Time for Jax's Ground Smash:Allows you to perform the move as soon as the Low-Kick attack is done. ROM Hack

:mk2:39800000:00C992:000000F8:000000FF:Low Time for Liu Kang's Bicycle Kick:Allows you to perform the move as soon as the Low-Kick attack is done. ROM Hack
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

These cheats worked up to MAME 0.119, so if you could convert them to the new engine please that would be great. Thanks and keep the good work

Killer Instinct 2

The Ultra/No Mercy/Mini-Ultra trigger cheats don't work for human players.
If the player is an AI, it works.
