Cheats issues with .md files?

[Former user]

Original [issue 163](https://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/issues/detail?id=163) created by kingofchaos6669 on 2011-04-08T03:43:20.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem (cheats)? 1. Use .md ROMs from the No-Intro set 2. Use the .pat files provided by Mightymo from the downloads section 3. Rename the ROMs and/or .pat files to match 4. Put the ROMs anywhere you want (/genplus/roms by default) and the cheats in the /genplus/saves directory (or /cheats directory, doesn't matter either way). 4. Try to load the game and see if the .pat file for the game loads.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected? Cheats loaded from the .pat file. What do I see? Empty list.

Files used to test?

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (World).md Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (World).pat

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)?

Official 1.5.0.

Please provide any additional information below (Video settings, Console region,...) Default

It'll work fine when renaming the ROMs to .bin. But, by default it won't work with .md games.

Indeed, it's due to the way I remove file extension, I assume it's always 4 chars (including .) but it's bviously not always the case.

Thanks for the notice.
