rimsky82's codes

[rimsky82]

I like how the hackers keep a thread going of their own hacks. I've got some of my own codes hanging around my old site that need added over here, so I'm going to get them organized in this thread.

[rimsky82]

The Galoob code "Money doesn't decrease for most types of spending" doesn't include city expenditures, which are taken out on a regular basis.

SimCity (USA) - SNES

Money doesn't decrease for City Expenditures
DD6F-A46E
C2C8-DDAC

If you need another slot, you can omit the second code. The first prevents the actual subtraction, and the second shows the report correctly.

A2B2-4761

Kage (Japan) - NES

The first infinite health code protects from enemies, the second from losing health from falling off screen.

@rimsky82, I please if you can fix some official Galoob Codes because I found they are non-working or don't work right:

Mega Man 4 (NES) - Infinite "Energy" Pods On Pick-Up GXNPZTVG
I'm started the game several times with this code enabled and I can't see it have any effect in the game.

Mega Man 5 (NES) - Mega-Jumping MegaMan PEXETAIA + NNUELEUY
While this code is enabled Mega Man's jumps are with 0 height, i. e. he practically can't jump with this Galoob's GameGenie enabled.

S.C.A.T. - Special Cybernetic Attack Team (NES) - Shorter Immunity APKSEGAG
This code don't work because it don't affect any addresses in the game. When I load a ROM of the game in my FCEUX 2.1.5, open the Game Genie Encoder/Decoder Tool and I enter Galoob's GameGenie code in "Game Genie Code" field, the "Possible Affect Rom File Addresses" field doesn't show any ROM addresses, it is blank.

Tetris 2 (NES) - Start And Stay At Speed Of 25 TEXAKYPA
This code has no effect in the game - it does nothing.
Tetris 2 (NES) - Speed Doesn't Increase AAUEUSSO
This code is corrupted - it also don't affect any ROM addresses. The Game Genie Encoder/Decoder Tool in FCEUX show a empty "Possible Affect Rom File Addresses" field without any ROM addresses shown.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Sega Genesis) - 1 Blue Sphere Needed For Chaos Emerald ACGA-AA8T
When go to special stage and Sonic or Tails touch the first blue sphere, the game freeze.

Right off hand, I can tell you that you are most likely using different versions than the Galoob codes were written for. Try looking for alternate codes or other dumps (Rev, PRG) if you are using roms, or if you are using real hardware, try to use a different cart that may or may not have a slightly different label.

No "Possible Affected Rom File Addresses" means that it did not find the compare byte at any of the possible areas of the rom, which suggests what I just mentioned. The same for not working codes. Test them all again using my suggestions and repost any that still don't work, and I (or someone else) will look at them.

Reading about compare bytes, prg revisions, and mappers should help instruct you as to why this happens.

The new gamehacking.org will arrange codes by rom crc, so that confusion such as this will no longer happen.

[rimsky82]

Quite happy with the first one

Jeopardy! (USA) (PRG0) [NES]

Game prints the answer instead of the clue
KXOUGKTA

Clue values are worth $100 more
ZASZATPA

Computer opponents always guess wrong
AEVOINYA

NOTE with the first one: Commas usually denote optional words or spellings. Notice that there will be no line breaks, so the entire answer may not always be visible, but will be most of the time.

NOTE for the second: The value can be changed to whatever you want. 0 would be $100 less, 1 is the original, and anything more is added. This affects everyone, so the outcome of the game won't change, just the money values.

I like the 1st and 3rd codes.

[rimsky82]

I like the 1st and 3rd codes.

Thanks, I know the second is pretty much pointless.

[rimsky82]

Really? Why couldn't I find a proper Game Genie infinite health for Metroid? I realize that Galoob has a code called "Minimum health of 30" but all it does is prevent writing of the energy value (tens place). I just don't like it.

Metroid (USA) [NES]

Infinite Health
AAOKYKYA
AAXGGKYA

This code works by making sure 0x00 is always subtracted from the current energy value.

I wrote a Game Genie code making tutorial, with this code as the target. I'll post it after I read over it in the morning and make sure I didn't screw something up.

EDIT: Had to add a second code for lava. Ugh, I was hoping to have a single coder.

EDIT 2:
Here's a single coder. Needs tested.

Metroid (USA) [NES]

Infinite Health
AEXGXTLA

Another assembly routine hack

I did this code for a tutorial I wrote on Retro Jokers, found here
