terpsfan101 Codes (Mostly Genesis)

[Unicode]

I now tested these - they're fine (I haven't found any issues so far with these). I've added these to database now.

Ninja Gaiden (USA) (NES)

SVXVGOON Always take the minimal amount of damage

Heh, looks like a fake code with the word GOON being in the encrypted code.

[Unicode]

terpsfan101, I meant "Always Can Shoot ?? Subweapon", my mistake.

About "Take Less Damage", I requested it because there might be enemies / hazards at later stages that does more damage to player compared to beginning levels.

If you cannot find anything more for first Ninja Gaiden game requests, then can move to Adventure Island III and Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship Of Doom. As for invincibility requests for Ninja Gaiden 3, the most important from both is the one against lava - I have tried to play it a few times and the lava (it's in Stage 2-2 if I am not wrong) always kill me instantly if I touch it somehow even with existent Invincibility codes enabled, so I'm assume they sadly does NOT protect you against that hazard at all (the lava I mean)...

Unicode , I wasn't sure exactly what you wanted with those Always have subweapon codes. They all give you Infinite Spiritual Strength points. If that's not what you wanted, omit the last line for the Fire Wheel, Throwing Star, and Windmill Throwing Star Attacks and omit the last 3 lines for the Jump and Slash Attack. I also fixed an error with the last line of the Fire Wheel code.

Also, a take less damage code wasn't possible with this game because you only take 1 HP of damage. So I made a Start with Extra Health code instead.

Castlevania - Bloodlines (USA) (Genesis)

AAZA-CAF2 No Knockback from getting Hit (1 of 3)
JTYA-CAG8 No Knockback from getting Hit (2 of 3)
JTYA-CAHG No Knockback from getting Hit (3 of 3)

Castlevania - The New Generation (Europe) (Genesis)

AAZA-CAF8 No Knockback from getting Hit (1 of 3)
JTYA-CAHE No Knockback from getting Hit (2 of 3)
JTYA-CAHN No Knockback from getting Hit (3 of 3)

Vampire Killer (Japan) (Genesis)

AAZA-CAEC No Knockback from getting Hit (1 of 3)
JTYA-CAFJ No Knockback from getting Hit (2 of 3)
JTYA-CAFT No Knockback from getting Hit (3 of 3)

Note: After getting hit you are invincible for 36 frames during knockback and then 32 more frames when you land from knockback. So not getting knocked back actually makes the game tougher if you don't account for the lost invincibility time. The last 2 lines of the code add the 36 invincibility frames you lose from not getting knocked back to the 32 invincibility frames received when landing from a knockback. So you are invincible the same amount of time you would be with knockback.

You can adjust the invincibility time when landing from a knockback by changing the values of the last 2 lines, just don't go higher than 00FF and make sure both values are identical. The last 2 lines can also be used alone to give you more invincibility time with knockback.

Thanks! I tested these codes and they're fine...

[terpsfan101]

Unicode , I revised the codes for Battle City and Missile Tank in my original post. Also updated them in the database.

About Twin Cobra:
Your "Always Fire ... Saucer Ammo" GG codes has incorrect descriptions - I tried the one for Blue weapon and it gives me the Green weapon instead, not the Blue one which description says. Also these code has a bug - if I have any of those "Always Fire ... Saucer Ammo" codes active, it works however if I collect a Bomb / Weapon type pick-up, my helicopter becomes invisible and I cannot see where my player is, unless I fire constantly (my shots are visible but my helicopter isn't with any of these codes active after getting a power-up)...

I can't seem to fix the bug where you disappear. Try these instead:

Twin Cobra (USA) (NES)

SXXEIVOU Ammo Pickups are always Red Saucer Ammo
SXXEIVOU Ammo Pickups are always Green Saucer Ammo (1 of 2)
VKXETTKG Ammo Pickups are always Green Saucer Ammo (2 of 2)
SXXEIVOU Ammo Pickups are always Blue Saucer Ammo (1 of 2)
SKXETTKG Ammo Pickups are always Blue Saucer Ammo (2 of 2)
SXXEIVOU Ammo Pickups are always Brown Saucer Ammo (1 of 2)
NKXETTKG Ammo Pickups are always Brown Saucer Ammo (2 of 2)

I now tested your codes. Most of your codes worked fine, however I found some buggy codes as well.

About Twin Cobra:
Your "Always Fire ... Saucer Ammo" GG codes has incorrect descriptions - I tried the one for Blue weapon and it gives me the Green weapon instead, not the Blue one which description says. Also these code has a bug - if I have any of those "Always Fire ... Saucer Ammo" codes active, it works however if I collect a Bomb / Weapon type pick-up, my helicopter becomes invisible and I cannot see where my player is, unless I fire constantly (my shots are visible but my helicopter isn't with any of these codes active after getting a power-up)...

About Missile Tank:
The "Enemy Tanks can't Powerup (Not Tested at all)" code SUOYOTSP doesn't work at all, I tried games 09 and 24 and even with it active enemy tanks still can collect power-ups on battlefield! Shame - really enemy tanks can still get clock power-up and freeze Player 1 / 2 for short time and can still collect a Bomb power-up making player 1 / 2 to be blown up / explode without they get shot by enemy tanks fire.
The "Start every life with Max Shot Power" AVXLPYAA works ONLY on "Missile Tank" hack but it cannot be used on the normal Battle City game, so I'm assume the original Battle City itself needs different version of this code that is working for it.

All codes for Missile Tank and Twin Cobra I haven't reported are fine and I added them in database, man!

[terpsfan101]

Unicode, most codes (ROM and RAM) for Battle City (Japan) should work on Missile Tank (Ch).

CastleVania III - Dracula's Curse (NES)
Collecting A Small Power Heart / Large Power Heart / Weapon Pick-ups / Money Bags Gives Also An Invincibility Potion. In DB, there's a gedowski's GG code doing this for the upgrade Items for Trevor's Whip and Alucard's Shot but there's still nothing available doing same thing for other items at all. I'm wonder if you can port his GG code for also giving the player an invincibility potion from other pick-ups as well?

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how gedowski's code worked. I couldn't figure out how the candle drops work either.

As for your other requests, I'm not optimistic about the slower forwards scrolling one for Twin Cobra. I haven't made a code like that before. I'll give it a shot though. The enemy tanks can't collect powerups code for Missile Tank might be problematic as well.
