This is my first attempt to figure out a cheat... so far I am working on an ammo for cads and dinos. I pick up a gun and start a new search... 100+ matches found... I fire a round 50 matches found I get down to 2 rounds (shotgun) and I get this:
ff0f61=06 02
ff0f63=06 02
ff9961=06 02
my feeling on it is that its encoded on 2 bits... because the last one shows up when I do not have a gun also. do you think I am right?
cheat help.

I think you mean two bytes 
Quite often programs (games) copy the values to other locations for various reasons.
It is possible that
a) you need to make a two-part cheat (If say, one value is for display and the other for the internal counter)
or
b) A cheat for either one (If one is always overwritten)
The only way to find out is to try it (unless you fancy wading through tons of code).
Edit: I forgot c) Neither and the ammo is actually stored elsewhere encoded in a different format

well with my luck it will be c... if I wanted to do an infinite ammo code it would read as:
dino:0:FF0F61:99:000:Infinite ammo
(if that was the one it is atleast)
well once I am done updating my mame roms I will test out that theory... oh would looking at other games with infinite ammo maybe help? (for the values not the hex placement)

UPDATE UPDATE!
I got the cheat to work... but it seems that it changes per gun and PER lvl... I went out on a limb and tried a different value with the same ending... well it worked... I had infinite ammo... BUT it only worked on the second stage... what I think I am going to have to do is make a cheat for every gun (ooooooh fun!) and maybe find an 'always have xxxx gun' code... that would help me the best...
EDIT: oh and btw it was dino:0:FF9A21:99:000:infinite ammo
I am currently working on shotgun stage one... ugh I wish cheating was easier... then it would feel like work and not fun
