Damn Mez! Good finds.

Thanks very much!

One last thing for now:

The Sega Genesis game Light Crusader contains a Debug Menu. To access it, turn on the following Game Genie code, while the above image is showing.

When you arrive at the next screen, you can turn off the Game Genie code and press Start. You will be greeted with the Debug Load menu.



After starting the game, you will notice a new option in your menu's named TEST.



Which leads to the previously known Debug Menu's:

Mr. Nutz



The Sega Genesis game Mr. Nutz contains a disabled password. The password is disabled because it contains a character that is impossible to input. The following Game Genie code re-enables the password, just input AAAAAA to see it's effects. You will see the text PICI PICI GO!! if entered correctly. The password seems to change the aspect ratio among other potential things.

Spot Goes to Hollywood (U) (REV01) [!]



The Sega Genesis game Spot Goes to Hollywood has a Debug Menu that at minimum contains this text:
DEBUG MENU V2.02
SLO-MO MODE
RASTER CHECK
JUMP HIGH
TEST OBJECTS
INVULNERABLE
DEBUG PANEL
MAP VIEW
RESET GAME...OFF...ON

So far I've been unable to access it, but I did find push-button codes in the process.

-------------------------------

To use any of the following push-button codes, you must be in the Pause Menu:

LURBLURBLUR - LSD Mode.
BBACLUB - Takes you to the image shown above.
ARDBLUBBA - Unknown Effects.
UBBABALL - Unknown Effects.
BLADDURACUD - Unknown Effects.
ADBADCRAB - 99 Lives.
RABLARDBALL - Stage Skip.

Controller 1 Button Legend:
U(p) 0001
D(own) 0002
L(eft) 0004
R(ight) 0008
A 0040
B 0010
C 0020
S(tart) 0080

X 4000
Y 2000
Z 1000
M(ode) 8000

Game Genie code:

The Sega Genesis game Stargate had a planed invincibility cheat that is still partially present. Here is some text directly from the ROM, wrong spelling and all:

ROB HYLANDS SAY'S IF YOU
WANT TO CHEAT PUT 19 & 04
ON THE OPTIONS SCREEN,
BEFORE PLAYING THE GAME
THEN WHILST YOUR PLAYING
ENTER THE MISSION SCREEN
THEN HOLD DOWN A & C AND
PRESS START TO EXIT SCREEN
THIS WILL TOGGLE
ININCIBILITY MODE

As you can see by the above image, the Options Menu does not have anywhere to "put 19 & 04" (such as a Sound Test). But after changing about the only RAM address possible I notice that it grants you infinite health.

00=Easy
01=Medium
02=Hard
03="Inincibility Mode" [With a broken graphic]

----------------------------

Game Genie codes:

Enable Invincibility Difficulty (After Hard)
AT9A-EABL

Programmers Invincibility Enabled
967A-CAEG

Boot The Game With Invincibility Difficulty Active
AN3A-EAHE

----------------------------

All 3 Game Genie codes grant the same effect.
The third code would be the best, the second code is kinda sloppy, and the first code you would have to enter the options menu and switch to the setting before being invincible.

[Tony H]

Mez, if you get a chance, you may want to check out RBI 95 32x. It appears to have passwords similar to the other RBI games you posted about.

P.S. Good finds on Spot Goes to Hollywood and Stargate.

Pro Action Replay (PAR) [Genesis]

I noticed that Fusion v3.64 would boot the unlicensed Sega Genesis cartridge 'Action Replay' but would not boot up 'Pro Action Replay'. Not that running it on an emulator would be very useful, but I made a Game Genie code to allow it to boot and at least show the following screen.

Pro Action Replay (Unl) [!]

This thread is really good and since I think debug Menu and rooms are cool shit I will Sticky this thread so others can find all the great Debug options found out by you and the other members.

[Mezmorize]

Wow thanks, what an honor!
This thread don't contain the debug stuff I've found for Game Boy and GBA, I just resurrected this thread since I was currently looking into Genesis stuff.

Basically finished looking most of the games for Genesis, looking at unlicensed and beta roms now.
