Emulator Cheats

Maybe a dumb idea with MAME, but I still think it's fun to play with! Only difference with Ms.Pacman is the needed '1' before the maincpu addresses. Pac-Man: <cheat desc="Free Play with Attract Mode" tempvariables="15"> <comment>In Free Play, the Game Runs the Attract Mode</comme...

I've updated the Starting Level cheat to include the MS. Pacman Color Scheme! So now when selecting higher levels, the start board has the correct colors instead of the Level1 default. <cheat desc="Select Starting Level"> <parameter> <item value="0x01">Strawberry</item> <item val...

2B32 is part of the score table for the 8th fruit, which is unused. I'm putting the desired "random" fruit number (06=banana) in there, to then be read after the board level check of 1-7. Basically, I dont know what i'm doing and came up with this! I'll check your simplified code out today...

I missed that the encrypted versions of mspacman need an extra leading '1' bit to the memory address. The above is perfect for the unencrypted/bootlegs (mspacmab, ...) Updated for the encrypted sets and finished to restore original code when on/off is used. <cheat desc="Banana for All Random Fr...

I just added Code to finish level 255, and corrected my comments.

a slight revision

- Initial starting colors are off as with all the mspac Start Level Cheats. - Level counters at the bottom corners actually work, but they dont display the "previous" level tokens, looks odd, but it sorta works. - Go ahead and play Level 255! It's a very different kill screen than mspacman...

I had to find and take into account 2nd player memory locations, and consider Red player game, Green Player game, and/or Simultaneous play. <cheat desc="Infinite Lives"> <script state="run"> <action>maincpu.pw@04E14=0506</action> <!-- (P1) Red --> <action>maincpu.pw@04E42=0506</a...

Thank You !

Galaxian seems to have the same issue

Since being a 13yo kid playing and loving pacman, I was always put off how the 2nd and 3rd Intermissions never played the entire tune, and gets cut off when the animation ended. Now my childhood dream comes true! I found the timers, and patched them to play each cutscene tune in Full. Even if no one...

Wow, this is strange, Thanks for looking into it tho!

Thank you for looking into it!

I see what your trying to do, but this looks to run like the standard Autofire cheat, it'll keep firing even if the Button isnt held down
