Emulator Cheats

Thank you good sir - can't wait to try that out!

Turns out I had more than just the wrong version of MAME - I had older dumps of all three ROMs. I updated to 0.128, loaded today's version of the cheat XML, and it works like a charm. Thanks - I just need to learn how to read more thoroughly

Ah, that explains it - I hadn't checked what version I was using...I'm still on 0.127. My bad - I'll upgrade and re-test.

G-Darius (and clones) throw the following errors: gdarius.xml(5): error parsing cheat expression "main.pb@101734=09" (invalid memory name gdariusb.xml(5): error parsing cheat expression "main.pb@1017DC=09" (invalid memory name) gdarius2.xml(5): error parsing cheat expression &quo...

mameuifx 0.126a *does* have the old engine. It doesn't work in 0.126u3 (its selectable in the options, but doesn't show up in the menu).

Invincibility doesn't work on Thunder Heroes (the rest of the codes are fine); everything works on Gaia Crusaders. I'm using MAMEFX 126.a, if that's any help.

Also, if the Invincibilty code code be checked - the player will still die in certain situations, such as the first level end boss throwing sacks on top of the character's head.

The "Stage 1 clear to ending" code crashes the game after the CPU selects its character on the character select screen. Consistent behavior in the Plus and Super Plus versions.

An invincibility code would be great as well...

First level works great - played through to the third level with a complement of the usual cheats on (lives, energy, invincibility, etc.) and its running smoothly.

Thanks for the quick update on this one!

Two sets of noticable bugs - the Invincibility and Infinite Male/Female energy cheats, if activated, do not allow the player to proceed past the building explosion in the middle of the first level. Deactivating the cheats doesn't allow the player to move the elevator that remains (tested with invinc...

My pleasure. I figure, since I've been around the site for years, but am too lazy to learn how to hunt for codes, trying to contribute by testing what's out there is the least I can do.

I didn't see this one on the nmk.16 list, but its got similar behavior - when the cheats are on, the player character immediately starts moving up screen. Unlike the nmk.16 bugs, the onscreen character is still controllable, but has to be constantly forced back. Full control gained when cheats are o...

Confirmed fixed - thanks!

Behavior the same on both versions - cheats either crash the game, or don't work. Beginning to wonder if anything with "Hawk" in the title is busted

Pugsy-- I had a chance to go back and test the other nmk16.c games potentially affected by the MAME change - it turns out that only a handful were affected: Black Heart (blkheart) Sen Jin - Guardian Storm (grdnstrm) Stagger 1 (stagger1) Super Spacefortress Macross/Chou-Jikuu Yousai Macross (macross)...

Everything works great, although I did notice two things, and this just may be on my setup: 1) If you turn the cheats on *before* starting the game, PL1 or PL2 start won't work. I was able to circumvent this oddity by simply not turning the cheats on until the first level starts. 2) Player's ship fl...

Thanks, good sir - I'll be more than happy to test some of the other NMK games when I get a chance.

I'm not 100% sure if this should be posted here, but it looks like Invincibility, Always Maximum Shot Power, Always Shoot Charge Shot and Lock Energy Charge are either buggy or don't work. Invincibility, when activated for PL1, causes the ship to go completely offscreen. You can turn off the cheat a...

Even if it doesn't get in stephh, thank you - I've personally been hoping for an improvement on invincibility for this one for years.

I know where the rest of my evening is going to go
