retroarch msx cheats

The cheat related functions in the core source are just stubs, maybe that's the reason cheats are disabled in the core info.

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.

how do I modify that to take them into account?

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

because I don't know where the bluemsx file is, but what file are you referring to, I'm a bit lost

The core info files are in $HOME/.config/retroarch/cores or - via file shares - \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch\cores. Just like a regular RetroArch installation.

You should update your RetroPie-Setup script first and then update the packages.

@mitu

I did that and it already shows them

I have no other idea, it seems weird that it wouldn't be that, it doesn't seem the core had any change about cheat support so a change in retroarch and this info file stuff specifically seemed the most likely.

don't worry about that, thanks
