Curious if cheat support is something in the works for a future update. Thanks!

Hi @zakarupon, I'm not personally a fan of cheats in games, but if anyone else wants to jump in and implement them for Lemuroid I will gladly accept the contribution upstream.

There is also this this matter that scares me a bit, so that's something that we need to handle properly in order to avoid issues with Google Play.

Thanks for the reply! I wasn't aware of the issue regarding cheats on the play store... Perhaps it's specifically for apps that have cheats built in to them, but having cheat support without any pre-installed would be fine since I've seen many Emulators on the app store like that. Either way, thanks for your amazing effort on such a great emulator and I hope someone with the right skills is willing to give it a shot if feasible.

I've been using FPseNG from the Play Store and it has a full cheats system. So maybe the risk is overblown.

If I may add a use case for this: I want to enjoy retro gaming with my young children, but they have motor skills issues and hence have problems with the controllers. Without cheats, games are unplayable for them. Cheats allow anybody to enjoy a game. See it as an accessibility feature.

It's also great for casual gamers who want to have some quick fun without spending ages learning to master a game.
