0. Emulators were this CHEAT.DAT works
------------------------------------------------
   In all MAME versions (oficial or not) that plays CPS2 games.

   MSDOS versions   : CPS2MAME, MAME, MAMECPS 1&2, NEOCPS
   WINDOWS versions : CPS2MAME 32, MAME 32, MAMECPS 1/2 32


1. How to use
-------------
   1.1 Put the file CHEAT.DAT in the directory
   -------------------------------------------
   Place this file cheat.dat in the directory were you have the EXE of the
   emulator (CPS2MAME.EXE, by example).


   1.2 Enabling cheats
   -------------------

   1.2.1 MS-DOS versions (CPS2MAME, MAME, MAMECPS1&2, NEOCPS)
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   Search the file MAME.CFG in that directory. If the file doesn't exists,
   run the emulator with any game. When it will fully loaded, close the emu.
   It will create the CFG file.

   Open MAME.CFG whit amy text editor (like Notepad or Edit) and search the
   string "cheat = no" and replace with "cheats = yes". Save and close the
   text editor.

   1.2.1 MS-DOS versions with MAMEW code (CPS2MAME 1.5, MAMEv0.37b15)
   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   It's the same that in the other MSDOS versions, but you should edit MAME.INI
   instead MAME.CFG, and replace "cheat   0" with "cheat   1". You can find it
   in the "Mame CORE misc options" in MAME.INI.


   1.2.2 WINDOWS versions (CPS2MAME 32, MAME 32, MAMECPS1/2 32)
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   Launch the emu, and before load a game go to "Options" menu and select
   "Default options". Check "Miscellaneous" and enable "Enable Game Cheats".


   1.3 Region Switching
   --------------------
   Load the emu with any CPS2 game. When it will be completly loaded, press
   TAB and select "CHEATS". It will open other menu, where you should select
   "Enable/Disable a cheat".

   Then, you'll see the available regions for this game. Select one. Take
   care that you has enabled only one region (some regions has 2 codes).
   Then press ESC three times or TAB key to exit the menu.

   Press F2 to activate the Test Mode and select Exit to reset the game. You
   also can reset from the TAB menu or pushing F3, but some games crashes in
