回憶

好久好久以前.........嗯.........真的蠻久了，當年正在念書的時候，正好是大型電玩最興盛的年代，從簡單的圖形遊戲進階到精美動畫拼合的遊戲，當年我們這一群街機小子真的很幸福。

隨著年齡增長，對於電玩的熱情也漸漸的消退，雖然還在這裡面，但心情已不能同日而語了...當年的資訊流通管道與速度異常緩慢，許多電玩技巧都是靠自己琢磨出來的，記得 快打旋風2 剛上市時，根本不知道還有連續技，在某個天清月圓的夜晚，幸得周公指點，夢到了三段式連招，隔天一試，居然成功了!( 以上所言，絕無唬爛)，從此開啟了我們這個地區的格鬥新時代。

畢業旅行時，晚上到達旅社並安置完成後，幾個朋友便到外面逛逛，剛好看到一間電動間，一時手癢就下場玩 快打旋風2 ，途中遇到本地人下場挑戰，一場比試下來，直覺對手等級在我之下，便放心痛宰對手，結束後對方伸手重擊機台，起身離開，當時只感覺這人風度極差，約2分鐘後他老兄又來了，手上還拿了一堆5元硬幣，直接坐下再挑，那時心中感覺不妙，不過還是用全力與他對戰，第二場還是我贏了，他老兄又再次重擊機台，再次投幣挑戰，第三場因為心中害怕變成真人快打，就放水讓他痛宰，結束後對手還喃喃自語 "不過如此罷了" 這次對戰經歷讓我有好一陣子不與人對戰.......

會寫這篇莫名其妙的文章是因為前幾天朋友到訪，提到與女友一同玩電玩的趣事，讓我回想過去一直以來我都是一個人玩電動，真的蠻孤單的。  會到這裡看看的朋友大概也都是男生吧，如果身邊有可當助手或對手的另一半，一定要好好珍惜啊 !!

PS. 某位大神正在嘗試 3DS ROM 在PC上直接破解的可能性，不過進度緩慢，幾乎天天都會收到他滿篇髒話的mail，希望他能成功 !!

Pugsy' Cheats For MAME 0.163

MAME金手指工具 Pugsy' Cheats 發布新版，上一次更新已經是去年11月底的事了，裡面包含了(MESS)家用機版的遊戲作弊碼，更新如下 :

Cheat Collection Update for the latest MAME. Note, with this release the MAME cheat file no longer just contains cheats for arcade games it also contains cheats for the softwarelist based home computer/console systems formerly solely part of MESS. There is at least a 'placeholder' cheat file for every individual softwarelist entry, though there are actual varying numbers of cheats for games in the advision, arcadia, coleco, gamegear, gamepock, jaguar, lynx, megadriv, megatech, neogeo, nes, nes_ade, pce, pv1000, pv2000, samcoupe_flop, sgx, stv, sv8000, tg16 & vii software lists. There are long-standing issues with slot ROM cheats in the former solely MESS systems so only RAM cheats will currently work in those systems - so if any cheat does not operate as described it is likely for that reason; so please do not send/post bug reports for ANY softwarelist game.    

Note: The XML Cheat Collection archives are double packed. Inside the downloaded zip archive you will find a large cheat.7z. It's this cheat.7z that should be placed in the same directory as your MAME execute-able.

Read the cheat.txt file contained in the cheat0163.zip for more information. If you spot any errors (non-working cheats or parsing errors) then please post them in this forum topic .
