Taking reference from other games, I tried to create them without success, copying this in the cheat.dat file but it doesn't even read them.

[arcadez2003]

This game was playable before the XML style cheats came in circa MAME126 i suppose if we're lucky we might
be able to snag compatable cheats for Big Fight from MAME125

[arcadez2003]

Ok using examples from our older style cheats i've attempted to mod the values for Big Fight taken from MAME123
to what MAME78 would expect this is pure guesswork but it might work out try this and let me know either way

bigfight:0:E05F:68:000:Infinite Energy PL2

EDIT
Ok i loaded up the game started a level and turned on the iinfinate energy cheat and it seems to work fine i didn't
try any of the others as time is short today but i assume they'd do likewise.

What i did notice right enough as per how some games tend to be with the cheats on it did act a little flakey outwidth
the game levels so maybe best only to use these while ingame.

[alexb3d]

How fast! Thanks!

I can't activate it.

I copy this code right between "; [ Big Event Golf ]" and "; [ Big Karnak ]". To keep the alphabetical order. I load the game and try to activate a cheat.

I get a warning "there are no cheats for this game".

What am I doing wrong?

[arcadez2003]

Hmm i dunno i assume you have the cheat.dat in the correct folder this core expects to find em and the cheats work
for your other games.??

@mahoneyt944 @MistyDreams assuming the above are there any other steps i dont know about with regards to
adding new cheats for use in this core.??

[mahoneyt944]

This core loads cheats from cheat.rzip a compressed format of cheat.dat

Copy new cheats into cheat.dat, delete cheat.rzip. reload the core. This will create a new cheat.rzip from the new cheat.dat.

Thanks man so @alexb3d do the above and the cheats should then work

[alexb3d]

@arcadez2003 @mahoneyt944 They are already working. Thank you very much!

So, the ones I did at the beginning were ok at least the infinite ones, I will try to add the selection tricks. If I succeed I'll be over here.

...Sorry for the Spanish spam.

[arcadez2003]

Ok then another happy ending so i guess this can be closed now.

[alexb3d]

The cheats for Select Character and Select Colour are still missing, but if it is not possible to port them, it is closed.

[mahoneyt944]

Not showing up or not working? If they are not showing up then you probably have a format error. Not working means it's a bad cheat.

[alexb3d]

@mahoneyt944 are not converted.
The pugsy .xml has:
Infinite Time
Infinite Lives
Infitine Energy
Select Character
Select Colour

The code that @arcadez2003 sent me only has:
Infinite Time
Infinite Lives
Infitine Energy

[alexb3d]

I think I got it. :O
I tested them and they work. I only encountered one drawback, the last two characters (I guess they are bosses) have no color, but #Dr.D when you select the alternate color, you see a blue layer.

Please can you check it.

[mahoneyt944]

Knowing the behavior of other games that use alternate palettes for player selectable characters, it's quite possible there isn't an alternate palette for the boss characters. Does this functionality work in newer mame or is it only in this core this issue occurs?

[alexb3d]

That's why I think they are bosses, they don't have more palettes. Yes, I have tested the current MAME, and it has the same blue layer.

[mahoneyt944]

That's likely the case then.
