Do you want to cheat on arcade games? or want wacky effects? or maybe you want to impress others with their "abilities" on arcade games. If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you came to the right place. This wikiHow will teach you how to install Cheats in MAME.
Things You Should Know
- At "Pugsy's Cheats," find the cheat version you want from the MAME Cheats File.
- Run the cheat on your computer, go the MAME directory, open "Mame.ini," choose "CORE MISC OPTIONS," and finally, change the 0 under "cheat" to a 1.
- Find the file you downloaded in the MAME directory, click "cheat.7z," and open MAME to test.
Steps
-
Go to "Pugsy's Cheats". This is a trusted website with many versions of cheats for MAME. [ citation needed ] You can simply search it on a search engine or go to the following address: http://cheat.retrogames.com/ -
After that, click on the "MAME Cheats File" tab.Advertisement -
Once that's completed, click on the version you want to choose. I must suggest, however, that you choose the most recent version, as it will include more cheats and be less buggy.
