Request -- Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World GS codes
This has been driving me crazy since I bought the cart again for GBA. For the life of me, I cannot get the majority of the given codes to work on either the VBA emulator or the actual Gameshark! I have tried the codes from here (my usual go-to place whenever I need a reliable good code) and from an actual Gameshark codebook (from 2006). I know it's not the Master code because the one I have works with the actual Gameshark, and it's not user input error because I triple-check anything I have to input myself.
Out of all of the codes, I can get the 5 Dragon Coins, Stop Timer and 99 Stars codes to work. I can also get the Open all levels code to work somewhat: It's weird in that it does open all levels without me having to press the button combination required (START+L+R) but it makes it so that wherever I was last on the map, I can't progress past that point. Like, for instance, if I make it to Donut Plains 1 and I use that code, I can't move around on the map past Donut Plains but everything is still opened up and visible.
I'm just mystified as to why three of the codes work, but nothing else, either on the emulator or on the actual cart. If someone could point me in the right direction or find some working codes, that'd be lovely. Oh, and entering the Open all levels code crashes VBA. I'm using version 1.80, by the way. It does nothing in the actual GS.
