[snes, zelda3u] Zelda: A Link to the Past cheats (and clones

[NotAGoodName]

Admittedly, I didn't find all of these cheats. I got them on the internet and the creator didn't credit himself. That's odd considering that he went to the effort of including a readme, but whatever. I did go to the unfortunate effort of converting the ZSNES cheats to XML. And now I can never play this brutally long game ever again. Maybe I'll try Neutopia II: The Legend of Not Zelda.

Hello and thank you for posting this cheat. But how do you use this cheat? where exactly do I place the xml file? Do I need to zip the xml file up and rename it to cheat_snes.zip or zelda3u.zip? Or do I leave them uncompressed? I tried placing the xml file directly into the root UME64 folder as zelda3u.xml but the cheat option is not there Please help Tafoid? Pugsy?

[Pugsy]

You need to put a <cheat></cheat> +<mamecheat></mamecheat around the above XML (see any cheat xml as an example) and add it to zelda3u.xml. Make a folder called cheat_snes in your MAME directory and put the xml file in there. Open the snes.ini file in the MAME root in notepad, and add the following lines at the end of snes.ini and save it:-

writeconfig 0
cheatpath cheat_snes
cheat 1

Pugsy, I did it exactly like you said...still doesn't show "cheat" in the menu. This is a copy and paste of what is contained in my zelda3u.ini file:

I have a folder called cheat_snes inside my UME folder and the snes ini file is properly pointed to that(added the 3 lines you wrote at the very end). Inside the folder is only the zelda3u.xml file and nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Pugsy and thanks for the reply. Pugsy I got it working now my friend!

The problem was, the information you gave me was in fact correct, *EXCEPT* for one little part. The beginning and end code strings for each xml file needs to be "<mamecheat version="1">....game codes....</mamecheat>", rather than "<cheat><mamecheat>....gamecodes.......</cheat></mamecheat>"

I was getting ready to put a 22 Caliber revolver to my dome and pull the trigger!

Glad I picked up on this. Bookmarked like a mofo.

Keep up the good work Pugs, your site is an invaluable asset to the cheat community

Pugsy, I did it exactly like you said...still doesn't show "cheat" in the menu.

Not exactly, I'm not at my MAME PC so I can't remember the specifics which is why I said to "(see any cheat xml as an example)".

There needs to be a version in the mamecheat.....and the <cheat> tag I mentioned is bollocks

ya i got it now(see post above yours)

[Pugsy]

Yeah, I noticed that as I hit submit but as I'm on a tablet I couldn't be bothered editing it.
