[LUA ERROR] shows up when opening games with cheats on MAME 0.239 #10562

Closed PichuBoy000 closed 2 years ago

Currently, when trying to use cheats, this message appears upon game bootup.

[LUA ERROR] in execute_function: plugins/cheat_xml.lua:21: attempt to index a nil value (local 'str')

The cheats do not work when this error pops up, and with following other issues trying to fix it, the same error seems to show up no matter what.

NOTE: Just want to clear up that I'm currently on 0.239 to use the Konami Firebeat Hardware, as the newer versions crash the emulator, but I know they're planning to fix that at some point.

Is this with all of the 0.239 support files as well, or did you copy just the MAME 0.239 executable over top of the latest version?

PichuBoy000 commented 2 years ago

I think this is the 0.239 install, ill try reinstalling the version and trying again just in case I messed something up.

Checking MAME again after a fresh install, it now works correctly, and I can use cheats now. Thanks.
