NEW WIP mahjong cheat database (version 0.05A) ...

[stephh]

After hours (not to says weeks) of work, our new WIP mahjong cheat database (v0.05A) is available for download on our site

The 112 NON-NEOGEO mahjong games have been fully tested (and ended !), so they all have cheats ... Here is CheckCDB's report :

Code: Select all

C:\MAME>checkcdb wipmajng.dat

Retrieving MAME's informations : Found 112 games.
Retrieving clones informations : Done.

Statistics for WIPMAJNG.DAT :
Number of :
       - Games found    : 112
       - Correct cheats : 2203
       - Ignored cheats : 3
       - Total cheats   : 2206
       - Errors found   : 0
       - Unwanted games : 0
       - Bad game names : 13
       - Missing games  : 0

The "Bad game names" error is due to a bug in CheckCDB which doesn't like [] inside the game description (for the "... [BET] ..." games) ...

Of course some games (mainly "Video System" ones) still have non-working "Winning hand" cheats ... Here is the list (also available in the cheat database) :

And now, THE question : WHY is it worth downloading it while most cheats already exist in Pugsy's cheat database ?

- 100% tested cheat database (as usual would I say)
- ALL NON-NEOGEO mahjong games up to MAME 0.59 are supported
- full documented cheat database (mainly tiles stuff)
- "Watch tiles" cheats to watch your tiles AND the CPU ones (to avoid giving him the tile that will make you lose)
- cheats to be able to buy all items when this was possible
- small file (27 Kb only) to download (even if it produces a approx. 1 Mb text file once it is unzipped)

What is NOT in this cheat database (because I think it wasn't really needed) :

- "Unlimited credits" cheats
- permanent "Winning hand" cheats

I also know that there might be other "Winning hand" combinaisons (eg: the "13 orphean" one, which is only supported by some games), but I wanted to have the same combinaison for all games ...

I hope that you'll enjoy this file ... Thanks again to everybody who gave me some help and posted some cheats when I didn't know how to play the games !

If you find any error, if you have any suggestions and/or comments, or if you can improve this cheat database, don't hesitate and send me a mail ...
