New Version Of The Mame Cheat file

Pugsy has released a cheat file for the recent version of Mame, this version of it isn’t finished just yet but it’s out in the wild for trying out, note that you should leave the cheat.zip zipped up as it works best that way and has a lot of .xml files in it (as that’s the way the cheats have gone now) so let’s see what he had to say about this one shall we?

The cheat engine in MAME 0.127 requires individual xml files for each game due to a complete rewrite of the cheat engine by Aaron Giles.

I’ve coded a conversion util and I’m still in the process of optimising the cheat.dat file for conversion. This work is nearing completion (~99.xx % complete). However, I’ve decided to release the converted 0.127 cheat files as they stand via the forums. There will be issues with the the cheat file and the cheat engine still - more widespread testing should hopefully uncover more..

If you spot any cheats that have issues please post a bug report in this topic, thank you.

NOTE this cheat release is based purely on the cheat.dat file for MAME 0.126. So it has no cheats for the games added between 0.126 and 0.127.

PS I shall release the classic type 0.126 cheat.dat sometime this weekend (for use with MAME versions 0.126 or less - ideally versions made with the earlier working cheat engine source)

EDIT : Updated the above files, hopefully will fix most TMS CPU issues
EDIT2 : Forgot to make it from the very latest cheat.dat - rebuilt as V3
EDIT4 - V4 made some wrong assumptions about the V2 changes, it broke as many TMS games as it fixed. Only fixed the TMS games where cpu0 was the TMS cpu.
EDIT5 - V5, shortened all mahjong comments and removed all old type [] comments. Also fixed the conversion of non-standard program-code cheats that weren’t working post conversion. And a few other fixes too.

Download from the release thread or below, both are the same file it just has the choice of a 7zip or zip download.
