Cheat option showing up for you guys in 0.154 64bit?
#329486 - 08/07/14 08:20 PM


I am using the UME64bit v0.154 and the cheat option is not listed in MAME's emulator UI (the menu in the emu that pops up after pressing Tab). Usually it's supposed to say "cheat" but it's not there. I'm using the QMC2 frontend and have UME64 pointed to the latest cheat.7z file and of course it's enabled in the ini(cheat 1). Please help.

Is QMC2 loading MAME.ini or UME.ini? I'd check to see if that is the case.

It's loading UME.ini(I haven't created a MAMEini). Does it need to load MAME.ini?

In my experience, you need ume.ini
Like I suggested in the cheat forum, try a clean folder and set up UME w/an .ini edited for cheats (and rompath if needed) and run a test game via command-line.

I'm sure you just have some mismatched setting somewhere because it works as expected for me.

OK I figured it out bro...

At first, I had the UME.ini file pointing to the "cheat" folder before, when the actual zip was inside it, but the cheat option did not show up so I deleted the "cheat" folder altogether. So then, what I did was change the cheatpath again to the root UME folder and put the cheat file directly in there, then started the game and it still didn't show up.

But then I noticed something strange....after exiting the game, the emulator seemed to have re-created a new "cheat" directory with a file inside called "output.xml". So then I went back and re-pointed UME64 to the new cheat folder again, and voila! The cheat option showed up like a fucking BOSS!!!!!!!!!

Pretty weird though as I've never had it do this in previous UME64 installations.
