Emulator Cheats

Ok forget it, apparently I had to enable it per game and not in the global settings. NOPE ! You can affect all games by changing the line debug 0 to debug 1 in your mame.ini ... http://upstephh.free.fr/bonzel.gif Steph from The Ultimate Patchers http://upstephh.free.fr/bonzer.gif

These cheats surprisingly don't exist in official 0.141 collection :( So please add them to your gunbird2.xml file : <cheat desc="Invincibility PL1"> <comment>Sprite Flickers</comment> <script state="run"> <action>maincpu.pb@6055063=02</action> </script> </cheat> <cheat desc=&quo...

And according to the code in MAME 0.141u2, the cheat engine is able to load multiple cheat files if there are multiple devices (eg multiple MegaTech cartridges) ... this is something absolutely necessary in MESS, because e.g. for pc engine you need to use the -cart name for HuCard games, but the -c...

So quick question. Will this eventually mean that I can eventually have one XML cheat file that applies to more than one Sega Genesis game without it applying to all of them? I don't really like the CRC system, and having one colossal file to work with becomes daunting rather quickly. It will be th...

Since MESS 0.138, MESS is able to handle softwarelists ... This means that you can launch for the SMS either : mess sms -cart "roms\sms\ace of aces (europe).bin" or mess sms -cart aceoface provided you have "ace of aces (europe).bin" and aceoface.zip in roms\sms (or another folde...

I've had a quick look at the new 0.141 XML cheat files, and I haven't noticed any "Infinite Credits" in them :( While the task isn't that difficult, it might take time because of the numerous games and because of the numerous BIOS (IIRC, the US ones have 2 coins counters) ... Anyway, what ...

I know, Check out Reason 13 in cheat.txt..... Well ... Either you'll need more reasons, either you'll have to change it ;) And I'm only speaking about "mechanical" games here :roll: http://upstephh.free.fr/bonzel.gif Steph from The Ultimate Patchers http://upstephh.free.fr/bonzer.gif

Thanks for the XML files and Happy New Year !

Don't be afraid when you see what's in MAME 0.141u1 and the following updates Evil Bonze whistles ...

I'm sure they must be a reason why stephh was looking in terms of a ROM cheat as he used the RAM address in his cheat.... Perhaps he's just improving his 68000 skills ;) Well ... I know I need to improve my M68000 "skills", but as you'll notice in MAME 0.139u2 whatsnew.txt, I've worked on...

My first thought was that a massive amount of code for a select starting level cheat. Had a quick look and I can see why you used so much code, changing the poke for this game is excessive - it's easier to change the first peek to a poke. I would not include a Skip ROM check cheat with the cheat ei...

Here are cheats to select your starting level in 'outzone' and its clones to be appended to your .xml files ... As they affect ROM area, each set has to have its own cheats ... outzone.xml : <cheat desc="Select Starting Level"> <parameter min="1" max="7" step="1&qu...

I don't know why I decided to have a look at this game to fix the Dip Switches : I don't like such game, and the CPU (TMS9995), besides the fact that it was unknown to me until this Wednesday, is a nightmare with its internal RAM you can't read/write within the debugger (ie: no watchpoints nor memor...

Thanks, I didn't realise that the game used dynamic addresses. I've changed 'nearly' all the cheats to use dynamic addresses ... Cool ! I didn't remember that it was so easy to create dynamic cheats with the new engine :) I'm not sure your what exactly you bat options cheats do (wrong address?) ? Y...

Extra cheats for "Die Break" sub-game : <cheat desc="Select Jump Height PL1"> <parameter min="0" max="9" step="1"/> <script state="run"> <action>maincpu.pb@3A8937=(param)</action> </script> </cheat> <cheat desc="Select Bat Options PL1&...

With wrong and/or unmapped Dip Switches, you couldn't notice that the game had lives ... However, since the game is heavily based on "nycaptor', I thought than someone would have found this cheat earlier ... Copy/paste this in cyclshtg.xml and bronx.xml : <cheat desc="Infinite Lives">...

According to the notes (which aren't mine) in the pokechmp.c driver, "Poke Champ" is a Korean hack of "Pocket Gal" ... And indeed the cheats are 100% the same ... So here are the cheats : pokechmp : <cheat desc="Infinite Time"> <script state="run"> <action>mai...

You know how much I "love" such ?#! games (even more when it's a crappy bootleg), but here are the basic cheats for a game I didn't see in the 0.137 collection : mk3ghw : <cheat desc="Infinite Credits"> <script state="run"> <action>maincpu.pb@FFFD02=63</action> </script...

Here is a basic cheat that wasn't difficult to find with a quick look at the game M68000 code : ssgbl : <cheat desc="Infinite Credits"> <script state="run"> <action>maincpu.pb@FFFEFE=09</action> </script> </cheat> FYI, the game shall be fully running in next release :) http://ups...

I'm surprised that you didn't have a look at the notes in the cshooter.c driver Thanks, I rarely/never look at the driver source for reference when looking for cheats, as past experience has shown they are of little use and I guess they only ever have reference to simple stuff which can be found in...
