Thanks! It's awesome you still release cheats after all these years.

Can you update cheat.txt though? It has obsolete info, in particular Step 2 (Enable the MAME Cheat Engine) for Windows:

1. MAME: it should be changed to # CORE MISC OPTIONS and looks like you need to add that it also requires adding cheatpath cheat under # CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS.
2. MAMEUI: nowadays the flow is General Settings=>Miscellaneous Options=>Cheats=>Go back=>Save.

Bump for 0.256.

And I've made a few changes to the instructions in cheat.txt (thanks to lwc for pointing out my lazyness....)

Bump for 0.257

Bump for 0.259

Bump for 0.264

Version 0.271 renamed a bunch of clones, so now my cheat file is broken for Fighting Layer. A list of affected games can be found here.

And no, renaming the XML file within the 7z doesn't work.

1. Extract "fgtlayerj.xml" from "cheat.7z" based on 0.264 and put it into "cheat" folder.
2. Rename "fgtlayerj.xml" to "fgtlayerja.xml" in "cheat" folder (Not "cheat.7z"!)
3. Execute MAME and start "fgtlayerja".
4. All cheat codes are loaded and work fine in MAME 0.272.

So what's the problem?

The Trog (rev LA5 3/29/91) (trog) has an error regarding the invincibility cheat in the latest MAME 0.275.

Any ideas?

Replace user1 with maindata in trog.xml.
