MAME4droid cheat system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Cheat is activated before loading a game, but no cheats are available in the 
MAME menu - at least not with the games I've tried.  Anybody else have better 
results?  The in-game cheat search is a bit archaic, and I'm sure the cheats I 
want have already been found.  It has been suggested that I could use a later 
cheat.dat file, but have had no luck finding one that makes a difference.

Till I build a new version... You can try a workaround ... Make a directory 
called cheat or cheats besides artwork and other folder an move the cheat file 
there... Anyway I will fix it... But I can't build the version now

I have Mame4Droid reloaded and this doesn't seem to work. The folder "cheat" 
already exists but the file wasn't in it, I put it inside but nothing happens.

I have put cheat.dat in subfolders named "cheat" and "cheats"  however when 
loading a rom I just get at the bottom "cheats" which can be toggled "on" or 
"off"  where do I get the cheat menu to actually enable the cheats?  without 
that menu I CAN'T cheat!
