Here's an incremental cheat file update...now there's a phrase I thought I'd never use! A few new cheats here and there and the cheat file has been fully converted into using the 'new' cheat format that was introduced in MAME 0.60. This makes editing and viewing the cheat file in a text editor a LOT easier on the eye - but if you are using a MAME older than 0.60 then you must use one of the old pre 0.106 cheat files. Finding cheats can often be more rewarding/fun that playing the game and there are still plenty of cheats to find, so if any of you would like to help out then please pop on over to the cheat forums.

 

The cheat.dat is available in 2 archive formats...the standard zip and the ultra compact 7z format, if you don't know what 7z is I suggest you grab the zip archive. Whichever archive you grab you will still need to extract it to use it!

MNGer -  A Simple Windows MNG Animation player

 

MNGer is media player for MNG videos/animations.

 

Since MAME now supports MNG I have made this small player.

 

It associates MNG files with the player upon setup, and is a very quick, nice easy way to play MNG videos, and also plays supporting MP3's' if available

 

Its simple to setup, configure and simple to use, and works just like any basic Media Player.

 

After setup either launch the application, or just double click on a MNG file to play.

 

Changes:

 

* Correctly creates.mng file association.

* Works correctly if.net framework 2.0 installed
