Emulator Cheats

If your phone is 64-bit and was made this side of 2020, just run the latest mame4droid version (currently 0.267) and have the best of both worlds, a current MAME version and no need to convert the cheats to a long-disused file format. Failing that, at least use MAME 0.139 (2010) which actually suppo...

Ogre's special throw Waning Moon, also known as Spin Behind Elbow Smash, was notorious in Tekken 3 for being the only front-facing command throw in the game which cannot be escaped, on top of its guaranteed follow-ups from leaving the opponent with their back turned. This cheat gives it a 1+2 (LP+RP...

Tekken 3 Automatic Chain Throw cheats. The initial move/throw must be performed first in order for the combos to continue as I haven't made any instant move cheats yet. Once the first part of the move has connected, you can sit back and watch the entire combo play out without the hassle of being an ...

It's even worse, Nintendo Switch owners are stuck with a Nintendo Switch. That said, sure it can't at least run mame2010 aka 0.139? 2003/0.78 (I'm guessing it isn't 0.73) is just too old to even be considered "MAME" as it doesn't have any of the fundamental things even remotely comparable ...

This single 5-in-1 cheat supersedes the four separate "fix unblockable follow-up" cheats. I finally found the recovery data for the existing animations, which has greatly reduced the cheat size and moves no longer need to recycle other animations. For Gigaton Punch/Twin Arrow/Cross Chop, G...

(in SpongeBob's narrator's voice) Ten years later... The following is not a set of cheats, just some documentation before I forget about everything again. Tekken 2 Ver.B [tekken2ub] This is move data for the Jack staple move Cross Cut Saw, aka Power Scissors (Japanese name). Usually, only one charac...

The latest cheat file should work for 99% of all supported games in 0.248, at worst you might need to rename one or two cheat files to work with a ROM set that since has been renamed. MAMEUI is (or was) pretty much regular MAME with a 1999-era Windows UI hacked on.

Knew there must have been something iffy with SSF2T's CPU opponents after all those years. Never occurred with the CPS1 games or New Challengers but suddenly the CPU decides it wants to kick your ass in 15 seconds instead of eating every move under the sun? Probably a deliberate "mistake" ...

*complete the stage without dying

It's a System 246 game, AFAIK nothing even emulates that hardware yet, come back in 2040. Is it even dumped to begin with? 't show up in MAME's source code or on redump.org.

It might be possible to alter the frame data of the animation itself rather than needing to hack all 23 movesets every time, although I have no idea where to look. That would reduce the size of the cheats significantly as it would only need to check that the first player's move pointer (e.g. Elbow S...

midwunit.cpp doesn't show any RAM in the 0x8000000 region either. Sure it's not just a mirror? For example, what is 0x005C7400 or 0x015C7400 etc.? PS1 games tend to so that a lot as well. A ROM cheat might be more viable if the data isn't compressed e.g. just NOP it out.

Is this place dead now? No cheat.xml update for what's creeping towards two years, people have noted long-standing bugs in the xml, and spambots are taking over. Also, here's another bug, this time with Tekken 2: With the unlock all characters cheat (the oldest clones only, as Ver.C and Ver.D seemin...

Tekken Tag seems to have different code to the earlier games, can't find the camera mode (if it exists - attract demos doesn't look like they have the cinematic camera at all), and the CPU mode is seemingly different. Clones to follow once I have more time. tektagt: <cheat desc="Select Player T...

Done Tekken 2 and 3 so far (still need to add the cheats for the clones), Tekken Tag Tournament will be next. The CPU vs. CPU fights in Tekken are boring though, most characters just sit around doing the occasional jab every so often, at least on stage 1 where the AI is at its dumbest. The games rea...

I could have sworn I did this for the Tekken games 10+ years ago, but apparently only the Tekken 1 "Select Player Type" cheat made it into the XML. I might have to do something about that...
