@Retro-Arcade-Fan said in FBNEO Cheats?:

made a dummy cheat.dat file in bios/fbneo

Why would you need this ? FBNeo won't read it

@barbudreadmon
The fact that I have isolated just philmurr's cheat to fixes separated from other cheats

@dankcushions Yep, that was actually helpful! Thank you!

Here's what I did to make it all work.

Your cheat.7z file has to be in this folder:
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame2016/cheat

You can get the cheat file here:
https://github.com/libretro/mame2016-libretro/tree/master/metadata

Load up a game in lr-mame2016 like "Donkey Kong" for example, and then go into options and "Enable Cheats."

You then need to RESTART the game (It does not say restart required in the options, but you have to restart) and then when you load up the game again, press TAB on the keyboard to get to the MAME Menu:

And then you can be just like Billy Mitchell and cheat to your hearts desire! :P

I've tested it in quite a few games as so far so good!

Thanks again for the help!

@barbudreadmon Thanks, will do.

We don't support 3rd party images - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@Eckaji the soundtarcks for mortal kombat, outrun, final fight, moonwalker, nbajam and double dragon optional if the user wants them the option can be turned on add off in the option menu so no need to delete the samples if you want the original arcade sounds. Its just an added feature to make the games come to life a little more. Flac support has been added recenty as well to save on space

@DarioRomero said in Hoto: use Gameshark cheats for the PSX:

I followed the instructions closely but when I bring up the emulator menu theres no directory called Extra Stuff. What am I missing or how can I fix this?

Are you sure you are using pcsx-rearmed and not lr-pcsx-rearmed? That last one is the default if I'm not mistaken. In pcsx-rearmed the menu opens when I press Escape on a keyboard. If it doesn't then you might be using the LibRetro version of PCSX (i.e. the mentioned lr-pcsx-rearmed). Confusing, isn't it?

Good luck! :)

Currently running 4.4 with latest updates, Pi 3 b+

I'm resurrecting this topic because this doesn't seem to work anymore. I put mame2003-cheats = "enabled" into retroarch-core-options.cfg but no 8-way movement.

This WAS working last year so some change has been made to mame2003 since. Can we please put this back the way it was? I don't think anyone here wants to have to use mame4all.

@herb_fargus Ok thanks ill look into those also wish i could load my save from SD Gundam G Generation F to F.i.f but it makes a separated save file instead.

@herb_fargus - what is protocol here? Can you move this post to help & support or should I create the same topic there? I tried to delete, but it is telling me I can only delete within 3 minutes of posting.
