;* LIST OF REASONS WHY A FEW (IF ANY) GAMES CURRENTLY HAVE NO PROPER CHEATS *
;* *
;******************************************************************************
;
; The following games do not yet have cheats (Infinite Credits does NOT count as
; a cheat) for at least one of the following reasons (not all reasons will be
; used at any one time):-
;
; 1. The game has not yet been properly emulated by MAME or it crashes when
; I try to play it :-(. Some games which are broken still have cheats -
; however, if it's NOT properly emulated and no good cheats could be found
; then reason 1 will be quoted over all other reasons. I also use this reason
; if I can't figure out the control method or it's too awkward for me to
; waste time figuring out.
;
; 2. I don't know what cheats to find as the game is hard to understand and is
; perhaps in a another tongue - eg Japanese. Or the the game doesn't appear
; suitable for cheat finding.
;
; 3. I haven't had chance to look at the game for one reason or another -
; A GET OUT! ;-) I may have had a look at the game in the past but I can't
; remember - I will use this reason in that case too.
;
; 4. The game has had no RAM areas set up to search in for cheats even with a
; SCAN ALL AREAS! A lot of cinematronics games currently have this problem
; as only 1 ROM area is defined! UPDATE 01 JUL 2001: With the latest cheat
; engine it is now possible to find cheats for the cinematronics games so
; you won't see as many reason 4 games anymore.
;
; 5. The game was only recently fixed and I haven't had a chance to find any
; cheats yet.
;
; 6. I've got cheat(s) for the game but I haven't had chance to test them or redo
; the cheat description(s).
;
; 7. I've had a quick look at this game and it seems suitable for cheat finding,
; there's RAM set up - but even a simple search for an Infinite Lives cheat
; didn't turn up any cheats after whittling down the locations.... These can
; be taken as a challenge!!!
;
; 8. The game was added in one of the last versions and I haven't had chance to
; find any cheats yet. If there is no reason quoted, then it is for this
; reason.
;
; 9. The game was not in the last official releasable beta binary, some of these
; 'unofficial' games have cheats (Metal Slug X), but this reason is primarily
; for games that are playable and are likely to make it to a beta binary
; release soon. This reason will be rarely used!
;
; 10. Although it is possible to find cheats for this game, unfortunately the cheats
; are not constant. IE The next time you load the game (or even reset it) the
; cheat locations will have changed. This effects a LOT of games, occasionally it
; is possible to find the odd cheat though as some locations maybe constant. This
; dynamic memory location is quite prevalent in neo-geo fighter games - and there
; maybe some cheats in the cheat file that don't work and this will be the most
; likely cause. A new cheat type may possibly be required to fix this.
; UPDATE: As it's now possible to poke ROM locations it is now possible to make
; cheats to handle games that use dynamic RAM addressing. However, it requires a
; knowledge of assembler and use of the MAME debugger to find them - at the moment
; I'm the only one to produce ROM cheats and I will only be finding them when I get
; time or I enjoy the game. So the likelihood of ROM cheats for NEO GEO fighters is
; fairly low - as I'm sick of this type of game. But if I get enough requests and I'm
; not too bored I will see what I can do.
;
; 11. Nobody has submitted any cheats for this game and I am so sick and tired of this
; genre I can't motivate myself to find any cheats for this game. However, I
; would expect it to be any easy game to find cheats for and you only have to look
; at games of the same genre to find out which cheats can be found (eg. for baseball
; games look at another baseball game).
;
; 12. There are some cheats for this game but they are either Infinite Credits or some
; comment cheats - not 'normally' enough to remove them from this section.
;
; 13. This is a Mahjong game - I don't do Mahjong games. I'll leave cheat finding on these
; games to other people. In fact if the game's got Mahjong in the title, this reason
; will be quoted above all others apart from reason 1.
