Bug in MAME 0.109u1 !

[stephh]

When you save cheats, the file is created, so ALL other cheats (from ALL games) are LOST !

If you can't wait for MAME 0.109u2, use the following fix ...

In src/cheat.c, in static void SaveCheat(CheatEntry * entry) function, replace :

Code: Select all

	filerr = mame_fopen(SEARCHPATH_CHEAT, mainDatabaseName, OPEN_FLAG_WRITE | OPEN_FLAG_CREATE, &theFile);

with :

Code: Select all

	filerr = mame_fopen(SEARCHPATH_CHEAT, mainDatabaseName, OPEN_FLAG_WRITE, &theFile);
	if (filerr != FILERR_NONE)
		filerr = mame_fopen(SEARCHPATH_CHEAT, mainDatabaseName, OPEN_FLAG_WRITE | OPEN_FLAG_CREATE, &theFile);

Thanks Aaron !
