Here is the list. There is no need to continue to test and post errors here. Save your time. If you are getting cheat issues with anything not listed here, your cheat package is out of date even more than the last one released for MAME 0.221 (On June 19, 2020) as Fighting Hawk (fhawk or fhawkj does not show up as having a cheat error in my testing.

Please do not continue to do this. Annoying people and being that "squeaky wheel" only builds resentment and irritates everyone who has to deal with it. Sorry, as much as we like to help people who genuinely want to help the project, we don't want to perpetuate this dynamic of annoyance = action.

Re: 30 Test Error

Well, guys, here's the problem. I just double-checked fhawk.zip and again got the error "fhawk.xml (36)", followed by a whole bunch of other stuff. So my comment about keeping track of which roms give me an error, or several errors, is helpful because as I said those findings may differ from other people's findings, which seems to be the case because as you said your checking didn't find fhawk. Also, I have that latest cheat package from last June, just like you. If you're not interested in findings other than yours, just ignore this thread; as I said, when I'm done checking all of my roms I will try my best to register on a site where they specifically deal with cheats and then list all titles I've found, and maybe they will appreciate that I've found some they didn't find. Perhaps other people who visit this site would like to chime in and verify that their roms give the same errors as mine. To be honest, the reason I tried the annoyance route to get a productive answer is because most of my questions from my earlier time here were never answered, so I figured I'd try something different, and it worked. If I ever have any other topics to discuss on this site I'll try to remember that being annoying isn't acceptable here.

Guys, 'username' is just a troll. So, please, do not feed the trolls.

Re: 30 Test Error

I fail to see how I'm a "troll"; I had a legitimate question and I got some helpful info after making a few posts. Clicking on my name will show all the other legitimate questions I asked or info I informed you all about a long while back when I was a regular, most of which either never got answered or got answered with non-helpful replies, so I tried being a bit annoying this time and got results. As I explained in my last post anyone who thinks this isn't for them can just ignore this thread and, as I also explained, when I'm done going through all my roms the titles which give cheat-related errors will be written down and I will try to list them on some other more cheat-related arcade site if I can manage to successfully register, and hopefully they 'll know what to do. I've apparently already found at least one, fhawk, which the person who replied above didn't find, so I think my findings may be useful. I also invited others here to tell us if they find problematic roms of their own since there are many roms I don't have, so that may turn out to be helpful, too. If certain people here don't want to do anything with this topic they can always click my name and try to answer some of the many topics I opened previously which have been sitting there unanswered for a very long time.

Re: 30 Test Error

The problem is you're reporting this to the wrong place.

The cheat file is externally maintained, the errors you're experiencing are because those external maintainers haven't updated the cheats properly / are due to errors in the cheat file.

This isn't a MAME problem, MAME is just telling you that there is a problem with the cheat file you have.

You should contact those responsible for the cheat file (they don't visit these forums, so you're wasting your time here)

We have no control over the content of the cheat files.

Re: 30 Test Error

I think I've figured out by now that this topic is futile so I won't bother adding any more replies except for any further cheat errors I find so I'll have them all in one place when I'm done and can try to find the appropriate site to try and register successfully and then relay that info and hope it helps, but there may be a silver lining to all this; did HAZE actually reply to me? The Haze whose MAME page I've been reading for years with all those wonderful long articles he used to write about his MAME work? Man, if it is you (and I see you only have 8 posts here so you chiming in on this board seems very rare) then this was all worth it. If I can make a request, assuming it's really that Haze, would you mind, if and when you have the time, looking at my past topics and seeing if there's anything that can be used to fix/add info to any MAME games? If even 1 thing I found when I was a regular here last year can be used by you in any way I would be honored. You've always been my favorite person working on MAME, even if some over the years would probably disagree with that.

Re: 30 Test Error

I honestly thought "username" was an AI bot designed to test peoples patience.

I was quiet impressed how much it had learnt about games.

Thought it had been switched off...
