k i made a shortcut to mame and added -cheat at the end of it.  After doing so the shortcut doesnt do anything.  but as soon as i take out -cheat from the shortcut it loads fine.  This is really weird cause ive done this in half life and other games with no problems.

But...this isn't Half Life, this is MAME.

Sorry, that wasn't helpful.

Cheats don't exist for most arcade games.  There are some speed hacks and rapid fire hacks that I've heard of though.  And possibly some NEO GEO games have some cheats built in, but that would be accessed from within the game, not from how you launch it.

Why cheat at games?  I just never understood why people do that.   :banghead:

When i used to mame years ago there were hacks for almost every game using mame.dat ..  now things have changed and use something like .xml in zip format.  I have that file in the main directory and checked off the cheat option but nothing is working :angry:

I like to cheat on a game after its been beaten :cheers:

So theres no on on here that uses the cheat file or doesn't remember doing it years ago? :dunno

The cheat file stays zipped (you may need to unzip it once if its titled cheat.xxx, the file you need is a .zip file that is titled "cheat" and is zipped...leave it that way).

Just stick the cheat file into the main directory where your folders for roms, samples, etc are. It should enable the "cheat"  options in the tab menu.
