MAME Cheats For Sprite (and Sound?) Ripping Thread v.2 (1/16/21)

Sorry, I hit the character limit to the 3rd post in my other thread and decided that it'd be best if I just made a new one.  TBH,  I never thought the notes list would ever get this big when I first started this. :\

This thread's gonna remain locked.  You can PM me if you'd like me to look at something, but I make no promises (I may at least look into it to see if it's within my current skillset).

So around April 2014, I got into trying to convert what I found in Artmoney to cheats for MAME.  I'm mostly focused on making it easier to rip character sprites, but you may find BG ripping and possibly even sound ripping cheats in there whenever I'm able to find something.  I created/tested them in either mame-rr-0144-test0, mame-rr-0139-test2, or whatever the most current version of MAME is (I tend to jump between them).

As of 6/20/17, I'm gonna try and add sound player/replayer cheats to anything that either doesn't have a sound test or can be played with Bridge M1.

Also, unless I credit someone else, I probably took the cheats from Pugsy's pack and added mine to them (I'll mention where mine start.).

Spoiler: You may not have access to the cheat option when you press Tab.  Maybe this can help. (click to see content)
Spoiler: For sound ripping, you could also use M1 to rip the sounds to some of these games. (click to see content)
Spoiler: Recording audio files through MAME (click to see content)
Spoiler: If the game's still not loading, despite having the most current files.... (click to see content)

Now that that's out of the way, here's cheat packs of my findings (too many to maintain individually).  Check the spoilers for my notes and a screenshot.  BTW, LU stands for Last Updated (because I have a tendency to go back and try to improve old cheat files), and isn't part of the game's title:

Hope those help someone.

Edit: - Added 2020 Cheats/Character Tests.  These were intended for newer versions of MAME, but I haven't tested every single cheat beyond stopping error messages from popping up.  I probably should, TBH.  I know the hitbox viewer for Armored Warriors no longer works
I had to change where a lot of my cheats wrote to, because the MAME devs decided sometimes CPU registers should have different names when they do updates (Like :dcs to :dcs:dcs or :screen.0 instead of :screen). 
Also, I think I'll have to sort through all of this again at some point (I don't remember what needed to be improved upon).

- 64th street: Removed anything that affects the audiocpu.  They don't work.
Superior Soldiers: Turns out P1 frames actually uses 2 bytes that you could use to display specific sprites to a player.  Renamed it to sprites, since it's probably not frames ("it seemed like a good idea at the time" seems to be a recurring thing with me).
Bloodstorm: Fixed the BG X/Y cheats (hopefully, I won't need to fix them again).  Replaced the "play as ___" cheats with something that should actually work (these ones mod the password input and input count values).
Best of Best: Changed some hide BG cheats to show/hide BG and added 2 more.  Added a sound player, something to tile mod player shadows, some hide obj tile cheats, and changed recolor player shadows to use an address from color setram, so now it does it on the fly.
Astra Superstars: BG color mod works on the fly now.  Haven't found anything for characters.
Groove on Fight: Changed color mod addresses and added addresses to mod sprite priority for characters/BG layers (because it's kinda hard to rip a BG layer when it's been retiled :p).

Edit:
- Scrapped the reader (RAM watch via tile mod) cheats, because they're STILL broken in newer versions of MAME, despite working in MAME-rr (it displays 0B instead of 00, 0A instead of 0B).  I decided it'd be less annoying to figure out how to write a .lua script that works for the current version of MAME (I had a workaround that worked for a game or two and then Astra Superstars completely ignored it and then I stopped caring.).  I've included a readme telling you how to make a .bat file that'll load them with MAME. 
- The luas for Star Gladiator and Plasma Sword aren't currently usable because MAME won't let me load the roms through a .bat or the command prompt. 
- Astra Superstars may or may not need the y values adjusted for the draw_text.  I doubled them because of MAME overlapping the lines.
- Daraku Tenshi's color mod's fixed (when did I break this?).
- Wasn't able to find an alternate way of accessing the character test for Street fighter Alpha 2 and the way I initially did it doesn't work on newer versions of MAME, so that .xml's useless. 
- The .xml for Super Gem Fighter's also useless.
- Street Fighter's 3 through 3: 3rd Strike are now for the no-cd versions.
- Added Master's Fury.
- Changed the contents of the .rar.  I added a .bat so you can load a rom and a lua with the cheats turned on (this is more for ones that use lua, but you might be using a version of MAME that only loads the rom through the command prompt.) You can now drag and drop the folders into MAME.
- Just noticed the forum rolled back some of the previous edits to my posts here.
