No cheat option for MAMEUI 0.144

Post by Tachyonfang »

I seem to be unable to get MAMEUI64 0.144 to register my cheats-the Tab menu doesn't even have an option to select them. I have verified the "Enable cheats" command on both the File->Properties->Miscellaneous menu and the Options->Default Game Options->Miscellaneous menu. My directory seems to be set correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?

Worked straight away for me.... Are you sure you moved cheat.zip as per the big pictures on the main http://www.mamecheat.co.uk/ page?

Downloaded
Extracted to new folder
Extracted cheat.zip from cheat0144.zip/cheat0144.7z to sit in the same directory as 'MameUI64.exe'
Launched 'MameUI64.exe'
Set directory for ROMs to my ROMs folder
Selected Options-->Default Game Options-->Miscellaneous-->Advanced and ticked the 'Enable cheats' box
Launched a game
Pressed TAB and the cheat menu is available

Well, I don't know why, but when I tried it again today, everything seems to be working! So whatever you did with your magical forum chat, thanks a lot, 'cause I sure didn't do anything!
One wierd thing though-there are several games that I know for a fact played fine on MAMEUI 0.135u1 but will not play on MAMEUI64 0.144; They all keep saying that the dump is no good and that there are no good dumps known to exist. Is there a reason why?
