The fact is that don't know which cheats from Pugsy's cheat database use such kind of cheat, and as I said, I don't use them at all in my files ... So you'll have to check in cheat.dat if there are "Select Level/Round" cheats on 2 (or more) lines ...ZED ZED wrote:Add/Sub type cheat , can you give a game name that uses such cheats and then I can try them?
Well ... Nobody can run ALL games at full speed ! Anyway, I'm now happy with my "Happy Bonze Box" which allows to do more than expected ...And I thought you had a good spec computer now to run most games smoothly? What processor do you have? I have an Athlon 64 3500+
Steph from The Ultimate Patchers Right, I've tested this on two games, both work 100%. 'Marvel Land' I was using last week, and was frequently using it in an attempt to complete the game. It worked perfectly all the while I was applying it.So you'll have to check in cheat.dat if there are "Select Level/Round" cheats on 2 (or more) lines ...
AFAIK, the cheat Pugsy posted in the other section doesn't use "add/sub" type cheat ...ZED ZED wrote:Right, I've tested this on two games, both work 100%.

Again, this is a "list" type cheat, not a "add/sub" type cheat ...Next test was 'Sonic the HedgeHog'. Again, took me to whichever level I desired, like a Genie in a lamp granting me wishes (such are the power of these cheats)
I thought I had found a game which used a "add/sub" type cheat ('sonicbom'), but in fact it uses the "copy previous" type (which is IMO better - many other games shall use this) ... So I just can't remember when the "add/sub" type was needed !So no problems here. Maybe it's a problem with that particular game he was playing?
Unfortunately, this doesn't help much to know in which case(s) we were supposed to use the "add/sub" typeAdd - If the cheat is in the active list it is poked to add a value till a limit is reached, the limit will not be exceeded!
Pugsy, Ian, Paul, where the hell are you ?Well ... My 2 hard drives are full (not only with MAME stuffAnd I cheer you on getting a new machine, at last! Happy gaming
), but I don't have so much free time to play the games as I spend most of it in looking at the games assembly code to fix some drivers and/or find new cheats ... But I'm really happy the way it is now (as this means I now have a job) ! Steph from The Ultimate Patchers
