I have a playstation game. I made an image in bin cue format, then I made a chd of it
xxx.bin, xxx.cue, xxx.chd
I made a xxx.xml cheat file, but I cannot load the cheat file no matter where I put this file, be it in a cheat.zip, or cheat directory etc, tied with cheatpath option
Do cheats works only with the games on softlist names? It is possible to load cheat files sepparately. My psx game it is not in the softlist
Edit:I added the game info mannually to the psx.xml in the softlist, and now the cheat is loaded.
But I\m still curious if it is possible to load manually without adding the game to softlist

There was a mechanism at one point which you were able to use the CRC32 hash of an image (eg: 4faa2b93.xml) to identify it for cheats, but I'm unsure if this is still supported since softlists exist.

The mechanism is still in there but I don't know if it'll works with chds
Basically if you put them like so:-
mame\cheat\sytemname\crc32.xml
eg
mame\cheat\pse\deadbeef.xml
But if that doesn't work just put the cheats in the main system xml, eg:
mame\cheat\pse.xml
obviously there will be no unique loading for individual games and it will load those cheats for any non-softwarelist loaded game for the pse system.
