Thank God (Joe) for the emulation forum. ;)

Anyway, I'm having a little trouble with the cheat file for MAME. I downloaded it to the MAME directory, but it says that I have to unzip it, then place it in the MAME directory. Where do I go from here? Do I have to use WinZip or WinRar? Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Either one will unzip it. Keep in mind you'll never hurt a file by trying to uncompress it with the wrong utility, so it doesn't hurt to try. After it's unzipped you should have a cheat.dat file in your mame directory. From there, you need to open your mame.ini (should open in notepad) and find the line that says "cheat=0" and change the 0 to a 1.

Hope this helps,
Drew

After you unzip the cheat.dat to the same directory as Mame (or Mame32) simply hit the tab key within the game and if there are cheats available you will see a cheat section in the menu.
