Re: MAME XML Cheats Collection for MAME 0.152

Post by Aeronth »

Hi Pugsy,

I'm having a problem with the latest cheat.7z file.
I'm using the latest sdlmame (MAME 0.152) under Linux.

When I try to launch any game with the "-cheat" parameter (or with "cheat = 1" in mame.ini) and the "cheat.7z" file in the right folder, sdlmame crashes.
Here's the relevant output:

Code: Select all

$ sdlmame -cheat -window -noswitchres -v
[...]
Loading cheats file from $HOME/.mame/cheat
/usr/bin/sdlmame: line 58:  1569 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./sdlmame "$@"
If I try without the "-cheat" parameter (or "cheat = 0"), sdlmame works fine.
If I remove the "cheat.7z" file, then the cheat file is not found, and sdlmame works fine without it.
If I try to extract a single ".xml" file to the "cheat" folder, and then launch the corresponding game, it crashes the same way (i.e. it's not related to 7z decompression).

Any idea why it behaves like that? Can you help me?

Thanks!

Thanks, fixed replace mushisam.xml in cheat.7z with this one:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/if3uexlzd0fulbl/mushisam.xml

Alternatively, use mushisama or mushisamb till it's fixed in the next release.

Can you try the games 11beat and airraid. One is just a comment cheat and one is 4 simple cheats. If neither of them work it would suggest a problem in sdlmame. Can you see if an older version of sdlmame works, most of the cheats should work fine in an older version (or at least not crash the game).

They both work.
Perhaps is it an issue with the XML file size?

Hello, for me sf2 works but some others not on neogeo:
kof95, kof99, kof2000, kof2001, kof2002, mslug and wjammers just refuse to boot with cheats enabled. Thanks for reading.

The issues you are having with sf2, kof95, mslug and the others is down to the fact there are commas inside the action statements and the 64 bit version of MAME has a bug which causes the crash intermittently.

I've edited all the commas from many of the games ready for the 0.153 release (not fun). In the meantime if you have a problem and what a solution now I suggest you use the 32 bit version of MAME until the new cheat collection is out.

Personally I tested on a 32-bit build. I can only assume that the bug is in mame and more general^^

The bug does happen on the 32-bit build but it happens nowhere near as often as the 64 bit build. One of the street fighter games I loaded failed every time on the 64 bit build but only errored out once in 20 attempts on the 32 bit build.

Some games might be bad on both 32bit and 64bit builds every time but in the main the 64bit build is at least 10 times more likely to fail.

War Gods cheats are not working. I tested all of them using the latest version cheat 0.152 on mame 0.152 and on mame 0.153, not even a single cheat for war gods are working. There are issues with the cheats for the 1996 arcade game war gods.

All cheats for wargods in both 0.152 and 0.153 work absolutely fine.

Are you sure your ROMs and chds are correct for "wargods"?

Yes, I have the correct roms which has the the following rom files (u2.rom, u41.rom, and c31boot.bin) and I have the wargods_10-09-1996.chd file needed to run the game. I just tested the game with cheats. Some of them still do not work. The infinite time, Hit Anywhere (Both Players), and Finish this Round Now! cheats are working but the other cheats such as the Infinite Energy PL1, Infinite Energy PL2, Drain All Energy Now PL1, and Drain All Energy Now PL2 are not working.

Hello all!
I am an avid gamer, using MAMEUI64 0.153 and cheat0152.zip; I am searching for a working copy of cheat0153.zip because supposedly it contains additional working cheats for the Gauntlet: Dark Legacy game; Actually, cheat0152.zip was supposed to have a bunch more in them for that game as well, but it still only allows for infinite health and infinite keys
So, is cheat0.153 out yet (I usually get it from Pugsy's site-love your work Pugsy!)? Or does anyone know of any other cheats for this game?

Hello,

I'm having a little glitchy situation with Giga Wing 2p invincibility. The ship sprite is all whited out and in some instances the cheat does not work, causing the ship to be destroyed. That's all I discovered for that one. Thanks.
