retroarch msx cheats
-
thanks for helping me i will try
Edit: put the bios on, the game loads but the cheats still don't work, I've read that retroarch and fmsx cheats are not compatible
-
If correct and up to date it seems that lr-fmsx doesn't support cheats either :
https://docs.libretro.com/library/fmsx/ :
RetroArch Cheats ✕
Native Cheats ✕lr-fbneo seems to support cheats but it can only emulate msx1 :
https://docs.libretro.com/library/fbneo/ :
RetroArch Cheats ✔
Native Cheats ✔Very strange that there are cheats available but that the core don't seem to support them.
I will try some stuff when I can.
-
The strange thing is that it doesn't work in retropie and if in batocera/recalbox, but just try bluemsx, I'll try lr-fbneo

You mean it works with lr-bluemsx in batocera and recallbox ?

correct
Edit: images belonging to batocera v35, bluemsx and the cheats obtained from retroarch

Both Batocera/Recalbox and RetroPie use the same BlueMSX core from the upstream libretro project - there's no difference here.
I'm a bit puzzled, since the core doesn't seem to support Cheats at all - the cheat related functions are just stubs and they are not implemented in BlueMSX. I also tested on another platform (Windows) and the cheats behave similarly as on RetroPie. -
Hello, I understand, but how can you compare the first photos that belonged to Retropie and the last ones from Batocera? Differences can be seen.
These photos are the beginning of the game

Leaving aside the menu driver difference (XMB vs. Ozone), the only difference I see is the version of BlueMSX - RetroPie has a newer version (Jul 2022) than the other systems (Feb 2022), which doesn't account for much, since there's only 1 commit between the 2 dates.

Ozone
If you mean ozone , I changed it to that one, Regarding the bluemsx version, I don't know what can influence it, Sorry I'm new to raspberry
edit: whether it works or not , nothing happens , it was just an appreciation , I still prefer retropie
As soon as I have a clear idea, I will try lr-fbneo that I have read in the forum apart from the partner that was mentioned

Can you help @wicketewoks to get msx cheats working on lr-fbneo ?
Do these cheats work on lr-fbneo ?
Or are there other msx cheats for lr-fbneo ? -

Afaik, nobody wrote msx cheats for FBNeo. -
Thanks for you reply.
Ok, so that is a dead end too. -
Until someone discovers how we can get it working with lr-bluemsx.
Using Mame and lr-mess described in this post seems to only working option for now :

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34117/retroarch-msx-cheats/2FWIW, while time consuming, it's usually pretty straightforward to transform MAME xml cheats into cheat.dat entries compatible with FBNeo and older MAME. I suppose it could even be automated through some python script.

I have continued doing tests, batocera 36 the cheats no longer work in bluemsx, in 35 they did work

It appears cheats are flagged as unsupported for the bluemsx core for some reason : https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/blob/master/dist/info/bluemsx_libretro.info#L21. It might be a typo ?
You might be able to get cheats working again by modifying your local
bluemsx_libretro.info
file (replacefalse
bytrue
) ? Those values in info files used to be ignored by retroarch, but nowaday some of them disable/enable features, like https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/blob/master/dist/info/bluemsx_libretro.info#L20 which controls savestates/rewind/netplay/runahead availability. -
@barbudreadmon
Thanks for your answer, I'll try itedit: I have seen that the script is here /opt/retropie/libretro cores/lr-bluemsx/ but how do I modify that to take them into account?

Retroarch's cheat system can also use https://github.com/libretro/blueMSX-libretro/blob/e21bf74bddb79ad1bbe20b4d964e7515269c669b/libretro.c#L1273-L1284 to directly access the main ram of the emulated system, and since cheats apparently worked with older retroarch/core versions, i wouldn't worry too much about the cheat stubs.

Not sure i understand your question, you just need to edit the file.
