      It used to have a full set of cheats which you could easily get to. I upgraded to a more recent build and now in the cheats menu I see nothing. I tried doing an update of Retroarch from source but the same issues.

      I hit the hotkey and get into the Retroarch menu.

      I scroll down to cheats.

      The menu looks different than it used to. I now just see load cheat file (replace) and load cheat file (append), which was not there before. I go into them and it's totally empty. I remember it used to go to cheats and it would list all the different systems and I would pick SNES or whatever, scroll to the game, and pick which one to turn on.

      Did something change on how I am supposed to get basic cheats working? Just doing SNES at the moment. The options all are different.

        The options have been probably redesigned by the RetroArch folks in recent versions. As for cheats not appearing, you have to download them first - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Cheats/ - through the online updater.

          Yup, that did it. Those changes were made and I ran the updater and things look closer to how they used to.

          Thanks.
