Asteroids Deluxe
#136570 - 01/04/08 03:10 PM


Hello,I am not a programmer, I am a technician and to be honest I do not really know much about this stuff. What I would like to be able to do is use the cheat codes, ie. unlimited shields etc. in my Atari Asteroids Deluxe game. I need someone to point some fingers a little more directly to what I need to do. If I could only know what I need to view the code and where to find it in my program I might be able to figure it out. I have found the codes.

( cheats code comments )
00000000:0093:0000003F:FFFFFFFF Infinite Credits
00000000:02EF:000000FF:FFFFFFFF Infinite Shield
20800000:62D8:00000060:FFFFFFFF Invincibility
20810000:62F6:00000020:FFFFFFFF Invincibility (2/2):Part 1 asteroid/saucer collisions, Part 2 Fire

00000000:02E8:000000FF:FFFFFFFF No UFOs at all
00000020:02E8:00000001:FFFFFFFF Lots of UFOs
00000000:006F:00000006:FFFFFFFF Infinite Lives PL1
00000000:0070:00000006:FFFFFFFF Infinite Lives PL2

I just do not know how to use, or implement would be the better word, these codes.
Can anybody out there in the programmer world help me???

If so please e-mail me here or at [email protected]
PLEASE!!!

oh and by the way I play this game on my PC. I actually play it every Night!!!

Your post is a little confusing. See, the above sentence would indicate that you actually own an Atari Asteroids Deluxe arcade cabinet, and you wish to add the cheats to the game in the cabinet. (as well you should, since it's the only quasi-legitimate way to obtain the ROMs)

But these lines seem to tell me that you are instead emulating the game on your computer, which would mean you're posting in the wrong forum (well, actually in both situations IMHO.)

Seeing as I think it's more likely you're performing the latter, the question you need to ask is "How do I use the Cheat file in MAME?"

There's some great how-tos here, I believe.

Do you mean that you own the actual arcade game, or are you talking about MAME?

If this is for MAME, your post is in the wrong forum.

You need a file called cheat.dat - place it in your MAME folder and enable cheats in mame.ini or from your front-end.

/edit

oops! Completely missed the sharp one's reply.
