CHEATS: DAT File or CHEATS.ZIP? (also where?)

(1/1)

c0dehunter:
Hello all,
Where do I need to place the cheat file? Older MAME accepted cheats in a folder called cheats. The newer build have support for a XML (in zipped format, called cheats.zip) placed in the same folder where the mame executable is residing. I tried all these, and I still don't see the cheats menu when I press TAB inside a game)

Any help would be appreciated.

Ansa89:
Into mame.ini:

--- Code: ---cheatpath                 path/to/somewhere
cheat                     1
--- End code ---

Then you can unpack the zipped cheats into that path.

c0dehunter:
The author of the cheats, had specifically advised against unzipping the cheats.zip.

Ansa89:
Ok, instead "unpack" say "copy".

c0dehunter:
Thanks, in my mame.ini, cheat was set to "0": I changed it to "1" and it works now! (I have cheats.zip in the root folder of my groovymame folder)
