I give up – how do I use cheats on ADVMame

[rmcelwee]

What I am meaning by “how do I use cheats” is where do I put the cheat file, what format does it need to be in and what cfg file do I need to edit to make advmame point to the cheats.

1) start in the advancemame directory
cd ~/.advance
2) download the cheat file
wget http://cheat.retrogames.com/download/cheat126.zip
3) extract it
unzip cheat126.zip
4) edit your the rc file (either advmame-0.94.0.rc or advmame-1-2.rc)
nano advmame-0.94.0.rc
5) find where it says misc_cheat, and enable the option
misc_cheat yes
6) while in an advancemame game, press tab to bring up the cheat menu which is now available.

WOW, synack you did an excellent job with the help. It worked great. I can’t believe it was that simple after searching for so long. Thanks!!!
