Enable Cheats

[Howlin]

Hi there,

thanks to this great project I finished very well and played a lot of n64 by now. Thank you!

However, in Mario Kart 64, there is a speed bug, which seems to be solved already:

https://github.com/project64/project64/pull/607

Therefore I need to enable cheats. I was searching here and in google for hours, but I do not know what to do exactly. In the cheats folder (in share) I created the folder n64 and created a file called Mario Kart 64 (Europe) (Rev A).cht (exact name of the rom). After a restart I start Mario Kart I try to get into the rgui. Then the game crashes (screen freezes).

What am I doing wrong?

in Super Mario 64 for example the rgui opens up, however the selected cheats still do not work (not manually added cheats).

@Howlin I never used the cheats in Recalbox, but maybe these topics help you (they are a little old, so I'm not sure if they help):

@Zing thank you! The problem was that I was not using libetro. With libetro it works fine now for the standard cheats. At the weekend I will give it a try again and work on the custom cheat for speed change.

anyone knows which file in retroarch is similar to the Config/Project64.rdb in project 64? This would solve the speed issue for Mario Kart 64 and would be great!
