Wow! I like this code "Press Select To Change What You’re Riding On" for Adventure Island II (USA).

However, I've found an errors for a few of those codes. About codes for Gun.Smoke, your "Stage Skip" code doesn't work properly - tried it on first stage of the game and it worked, however when screen with busted poster (one after beating a level and defeating its boss) appeared, my game were hang and the game didn't continue any further past that screen, so I've was unable to get next stage to load. Please fix it! Also your "Start A New Game With The Machine Gun" RAW code 004F:01 has no effect for me - I've entered that code in my FCEUX (latest version) and I've reset the game, but after starting first stage, player still starts with default weapon only - no machine gun was available in my weapon menu with this RAW code active!

About Adventure Island II (USA) codes, your "Press Select To Change What You’re Riding On" code have a little problem - when pressing Select, the game seems to enter a frame advance and pause and unpause restores normal framerate playing, however if you get a key for Bonus Level or Island Skip Room and press Select Button while you're at the rising Cloud / Spike platform, I'll enter advance frame, and the game will not continue unless pressing Select button for advance one frame, however you can't pause the game while you're going to the room / Bonus stage to get back to normal playing, so I'll need to press Select to change Dinosaur constantly to advance a single frame with every press until I'm get my Character raised enough high on Bonus Platform above ground so I can enter the place where the key from hidden egg takes me. Even with this little issue, while it's annoying, it's still possible to press Select multiple times to advance motion while I'm goes up on platform, so you still cannot get stuck. So I'm wondering if can someone make a code that lets you after getting a key form an hidden egg you to CAN PAUSE (and unpause) the game to get to normal framerate while bonus platform takes you to the corresponding stage where the hidden key leads? As average this code is awesome!

I'm wonder if @Mezmorize can make a codes for first Adventure Island game that modifiies content in eggs (separate codes for eggs containing Axe, Flower, Milk, Eggplant and Fairy Bee (the enemy giving you a temporary invincibility)?

You must be using a different ROM or something.
I just beat the entire game using the stage skip code, and the machine gun code worked perfect for me.

The NES ROM I've used for testing was Gun.Smoke (U) [!].nes on FCEUX 2.2.2, I didn't used other rom like with a bad dump. All other your codes was working fine for me, only those two doesn't...

Hmm.
I'm using the NoIntro rom, the CRC is 6B8F23E0. The CRC does not match the one on the database it seems.

Edit:
When I compare the GoodNES rom that I have with the NoIntro one, there is no changes, and the exact same CRC I posted above.
I tried the codes on it anyway, and still can't recreate the problems you mention.

[Unicode]

Sorry, seems there is an unknown issue from my side then. A week ago I've had an issue with a code for Sonic 3 made by Tony Hedstrom I was reported because it didn't work correctly for me on Gens 11a Rerecording (I always get a specific error with it) and I got reply from my friend @Tony Hedstrom he can't produce said problem with this same code on his side and he didn't was able to get any issues while he was testing code on that same emulator, so I was stuck without way to get the code working properly on my side...

Anyway, @Mezmorize, you can look at my request from post #393 please? And I'm wondering if you can make a code for Adventure Island 2 where player can control character on island map about on what stage it goes after beating a level and "Choose an Egg" screen? I'm always really sucked by fact only the game controls player on map on what stage it moves, but player cannot choose a stage manually - this is the only thing in this game I doesn't like! I was even made a thread a many time ago but NOBODY REPLIED (or came) with anything... Also, make "Can get up to 255 Maximum Amount of Every Item On Item Select Screen (one with item select before you enter to play stage) Instead of 9" code please.

[Mezmorize]

I tried for quite a while to make an egg content modifier code, with no luck. Not really looking forward to doing code request at the moment.

I did made these codes while messing with the game though.

Pause The Game For Fire
ZEVEZPPA
IVVEGOKX - Useful

Pause The Game For A Skateboard
TVVEGOKX - Nice

Pause The Game To Enable Invulnerability
INVEGOKZ - Nice, however if you get Invincibility Bee from egg, after bee goes away, you'll need to activate your Invulnerability again.
Note: Can only use one "pause the game" code.

Have Skateboard
EYOEYTEI
Note: Likely best used with "Have Skateboard Movement" code. - Nice, however player still dies upon touching an enemy instead of just losing skateboard, but still alive.

Have Skateboard Movement
EYSAIIEI - Nice, although it might need to be turned off on areas where are many moving platforms.

Hold A To Continue Throwing Projectiles
AEVAPNUE - DOES NOT WORK - Game Genie Encoder/ Decoder Tool shows no ROM addresses affected by this code.

Always Have A Projectile
ANKAYYEY - Useful

Stay Visible
0554:01
Note: You stay visible when you get the bee, and have an Invincibility code on.

As average, most of these codes are nice. However, it's possible you to make also "Pause the game to get a Normal Invincibility Fairy Bee / Extra Life / Milk" codes and make a GG equivalent of your "Stay Visible" RAW code?

[Mezmorize]

Oops, that was a typo on my part. This is what it should be:

Hudson's Adventure Island (USA) [NES]
Hold A To Continue Throwing Projectiles
AEVAPNUY

I already tried to make a Game Genie code for Stay Visible, but it caused to many problems.

[Unicode]

Thanks for reply! Anything about my other requests (except for egg item modifier ones and Stay Visible GG - you're said can't make them and they probably too difficult to make)?

Oops, that was a typo on my part. This is what it should be:

Hudson's Adventure Island (USA) [NES]
Hold A To Continue Throwing Projectiles
AEVAPNUY - Useful. This version of your code is fine, unlike previous one.

I already tried to make a Game Genie code for Stay Visible, but it caused to many problems.

Actually, I'm wondering if you can make those beatiful "Pause the game for..." type codes also for second and third "Adventure Island" game?

Edit: Actually, I've now added all your codes from posts #398 except the non working "Hold A To Continue Throwing Projectiles" GG code and the working "Hold A To Continue Throwing Projectiles" GG from post #400.

[Mezmorize]

I'll keep your request in mind, want to finish what I'm currently working on first though.
Note to self: #397+ request
