After Burner I & II cheat code fix?

[Teddys32 v0.90u1]

I noticed that Mame32 0.90u1 (the one that I use) did not recognize the cheat codes for either After Burner game when I went to activate them in the cheat menu(s). So I changed them as follows and they both now seem to work fine (see explanation below).

; [ After Burner (Japan) ]
:aburner:00000000:FF88E1:0000001E:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Lives
:aburner:00000000:FF8D67:00000032:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Missiles
:aburner:00000000:FF8D77:00000001:FFFFFFFF:Invincibility:It is a boring cheat
:aburner:00000000:FF9125:00000007:FFFFFFFF:Quick Death Sequence:This saves time waiting for the plane to crash and for a new plane to appear
:aburner:00000000:FF884D:00000000:FFFFFFFF:Sound Test Timer Stop

; [ After Burner II ]
:aburner2:00000000:FF88E1:0000001E:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Lives
:aburner2:00000000:FF8D67:00000064:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Missiles
:aburner2:00000000:FF8D77:00000001:FFFFFFFF:Invincibility:It is a boring cheat
:aburner2:00000000:FF8894:000000FF:FFFFFFFF:Always fly at Maximum Speed
:aburner2:00000000:FF8D79:0000003F:FFFFFFFF:Always fly at Maximum Speed (2/3)
:aburner2:00000000:FF8D7C:000000FF:FFFFFFFF:Always fly at Maximum Speed (3/3)
:aburner2:00000000:FF9125:00000007:FFFFFFFF:Quick Death Sequence:This saves time waiting for the plane to crash and for a new plane to appear
:aburner2:00000000:FF884D:00000000:FFFFFFFF:Sound Test Timer Stop

Note: With the original codes in place Mame32 wouldn't even recognize that the cheats were in the data file. If I moved the lines with 00010000 in them to below the other codes, then, the others would list but the lines with 00010000 in them would not. Once I changed the lines with 00010000 to 00000000 (all zeros) all the cheats would list and all seem to work just fine. I wonder if anyone else had this issue with the cheats with any other Mame32 version.

Instead of mucking about changing cheat variables, why didn't you upgrade your MAME version?

We're on V.122 now, and the should work for that.

[Teddys32 v0.90u1]

I am very happy with this version. I tried a newer one, it might even have been the one you mentioned, and some of the roms didn't work with it; so, I am sticking with what works for me ... for now.

It's not broken, and, I am not going to try to fix it...

Thanks for pointing that out - it's a bug in the cheat file, the problem is that the first cheat for each game is of a link type - so ignores all the cheats. How the first cheat become a linked cheat is a mystery....


You only need to change the lives entries though, you do not need to change the type for the Always fly at Maximum Speed entries:-

Code: Select all

:aburner:00000000:FF88E1:0000001E:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Lives
:aburner2:00000000:FF88E1:0000001E:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Lives

[Teddys32 v0.90u1]

I changed the Always fly at Maximum Speed entries back to the way they were. I thank you for all your kind help with using these cheats, as, I can't seem to figure out how to find them in the games when I look for them.

I also noticed that I had to change the entries for 10 Yard Fight for them to work with my version of mame32. It didn't recognize 10yard or 10yardj in the code. I have them as follows:

; [ 10-Yard Fight ]
:yard:000000A0:E44A:00000030:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Time
:yard:00000001:E44A:00000060:FFFFFFFF:Reset Timer (once)
:yard:00000000:E432:00000000:FFFFFFFF:Always 1st Down

; [ 10-Yard Fight - VS 1]
:vsyard:000000A0:E44A:00000030:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Time
:vsyard:00000001:E44A:00000060:FFFFFFFF:Reset Timer (once)
:vsyard:00000000:E432:00000000:FFFFFFFF:Always 1st Down

; [ 10-Yard Fight - VS 2]
:vsyard2:000000A0:E44A:00000030:FFFFFFFF:Infinite Time
:vsyard2:00000001:E44A:00000060:FFFFFFFF:Reset Timer (once)
:vsyard2:00000000:E432:00000000:FFFFFFFF:Always 1st Down

As you can see...
I can cut and paste pretty good... Thankfully
