New MAME cheat.dat file???
« on: January 29, 2003, 01:19:17 pm »
Just wondering if any of you guys have found an updated cheat file anywhere.  All I can find is http://cheat.retrogames.com/
"Pugsy's MAME Cheat File Page"

Any links would be appreciated.

Yeah, you have to compile it your self.  cheats are posted on steph's (??) forum all the time.  Not sure the url right now.

The cheat.dat lost interest because of the fact that the newer games are harder to make cheats for. At least I'm guessing as they are all kooky.

Actually, it's the lost interest of maintaining it.  As I said, steph's forum has cheats.  Usually within a day or two of a release there will be new cheats on the forum.  It's just going there and grabbing them.  A pain, but it's there.

Perhaps somone needs to volunteer to make him a cheat submission script then.... If the cheats were added automagically then there would be far less work involved.
