Thanks. I'll be on the lookout for such a fix in the upcoming builds then.

I'm not sure, but I don't think cheat implementation for the Android version is complete yet.

As for my own results (on my Ouya):
If I set the main configuration flag to enable cheats, then any game I attempt to launch thereafter simply freezes the GUI screen. The selected game remains selected on screen but never launches, and PPSSPP no longer responds to any gamepad or mouse input. I had to use the 'Ouya' button to force-terminate the app.

In making these tests I had not installed any cheat folder or files of any kind.

I just tested what would happen if I enabled the flag without having added any cheats. Doing the same thing works fine with the Windows version of the emulator, which also creates the necessary cheat folder.

So my conclusion is that the cheat implementation for Android versions still is too incomplete for use as yet. (This was in v0.9.1-578.)

I seem to have missed some stuff I should have checked out earlier, as in this quote from the first post of this thread:

Android is now supported on the latest builds. It functions very similarly to the Windows version. Place your cheat.db or cheat ini's in the cheats folder and play!(8/26/2013)

Note: If your game crashes after enabling cheats and loading the game, then you must manually create the "Cheats" folder in the /PSP/ Directory.

This manual creation of the folder is something I didn't do, which could explain the crashing results on my Ouya.

However, I'm a bit confused by the statement that it should work similar to the Windows version, when the folder name stated here is NOT the same folder name as created by the Windows version.

Windows uses a folder named "cheats" (all lower case), so presumably that is what the program's source code specifies.

The folder name recommended for Android in that post is "Cheats" (first letter capitalized), so on a Linux Android system this will not match a folder search for "cheats" (though it would under Windows).

So what is the proper folder name for use with Android ?
"Cheats" or "cheats" ?

I'm going to test this myself, but I'd prefer to have the right usage confirmed by a project coder too.
