None of these games causes MAME to crash out on my machine. Are you running with cheat enabled and if so, do you have the latest cheat.7z from Pugsy's site? |

Yes, I have cheats enabled and use the latest available cheat.7z Disabling cheats fixes the problem, no more crashes. |

Can confirm with 0.174 as well as latest GIT compile with most recent cheat.7z from 3/30/2016 XML Cheat Collection for MAME 0.172 release. |

The crash is caused by all cheats that patch the ROM using "m". (maincpu.mw@[...]) Changing all "maincpu.m*" to "maincpu.o*" in the cheat xml file fixes this, but I don't know what's the difference between "m" and "o" and I don't know if the effect is the same. Probably not... Pugsy is not sure about this. http://www.mamecheat.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3768#p12630 says: maincpu . p b @ FF022F = 99 maincpu = The address space that the address exists in. "maincpu" is the most commonly wanted, but as seen above, not always. p = Type of memory. p=RAM, m=ROM, o=ROM ??? ROM cheats aren't my thing, but p is usually what you want. b = Width of value being plugged. b=byte (0x00), w=word (0x0000), d=double (0x00000000), q=quad (0x0000000000000000) FF022F = Address. Have fun with Midway machines. They use a very unusual system which I don't like much. 99 = The value being plugged in. (Hexidecimal) |

Two-character suffixes beginning with 'm' refer to memory regions. One likely cause of the crashes with Neo Geo cheats is that the device/region name is no longer maincpu, but cslot1:maincpu. However, the debug module where cheat expressions are parsed has undergone major refactoring since 0.174 was released, and crashes upon referencing nonexistent memory regions may have already been fixed in commit bbb2e917b55e37642a9bef27b2676ab6b3e36fb8. |

Actually, this cheat crashing should be fixed with current SVN as AJR mentioned above. Now it does what it used to do by giving you a warning that a cheat could not be loaded correctly. In any case, you still need to either wait for the new cheat package or you can attempt to adjust them yourself . |
