Enabling Cheats

[StuParker]

I am running Launchbox 13.15 at the moment and am using MAME to launch ALL of my Arcade Dumps.  I am able to run the games fine with the exception of using cheats.  I can run Cheats with no issues under straight MAME but when I launch MAME thru Launchbox and hit the TAB key I am not presented with the cheats menu.  I understand that Launchbox is just a launcher but cannot figure out what's going on.  Also I found that the sound is not working on any of my console emulators.  Ive read that the versions or the emulators I am using are old but not sure what not sure what else to do

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just wanted to ask—has anyone tried combining cheat files from RetroArch with standalone emulators inside LaunchBox? I started messing with that and got mixed results depending on the system. Would be cool to know what setups people are using now, especially for games that need a little extra boost or lives for testing.
