BeyondTheStatic's Retro Codes

[Unicode]

Everything you mentioned is caused by a faulty whip upgrade. The game tries to use a whip that doesn't exist. And when the inventory screen is brought up it tries to describe the whip, but finding no label for the nonexistent whip, the game simply crashes. There's nothing to be done except adding another code to the cheat. But Instead of doing that, I just added a note warning players to not purchase any more whips.

Hacking the same game for too long makes me weary, so I'm going to save your requests and try to tackle them at a later time.

Thank you again for your continual code testing, Unicode

I think adding note to your "Buy a Thorn Whip to Receive the Flame Whip Instead" code is best choice. I will wait your reply for my last requests.

I would like somebody add codes contained in posts #3, #6, #10 and #11 + fix incorrectly added "Hit Anywhere (whips)" and "Hit Anywhere (subweapons)" GG contained in post #1 that was added as one single code in database.

Not sure you are aware of this but you can add your codes to the site yourself as I made you part of the hacker group so go to the game page and add them codes!

[BeyondTheStatic]

Cool, added 'em.

BTW, the first code I submitted, "Double Weapon Distance For Everyone (Fire Rod power)," comes up as being hacked by "2-D" and I cannot edit it.

River City Ransom (U) - NES

Coins Don't Fade Away
SUXZNYVY
Note: Coins will keep bouncing until you pick them up. You can also prevent new enemies from spawning by keeping coins bouncing on the screen, which makes avoiding areas and weapon collection easier.

Collect Coins Easily (expanded collection radius)
GPOSAKAA
PPXITKAA

Remote Control (almost) Everything
SXVSPSSU
Note: Use the directional pad to control moving enemies, straight-flying weapons, & townspeople. More of a novelty than a cheat. To control only thrown weapons, see "Remote Control Weapons" in the Weapon Codes section.

Screen Scrolling Threshold Is Set To 1/3 Instead Of 1/4
IIEVLPAG
IIUVZPAG
UZOTIPEK
UZUVIPEK
Note: Normally the game starts scrolling the screen when you are 1/4 of a screen's width from the edge, which often makes it hard to see enemies until it's too late. By making the screen scroll at 1/3, this cheat allows you to see approaching enemies sooner than usual. One player only.

Screen Scrolling Threshold Is Set To 2/5 Instead Of 1/4
TTEVLPAG
TTUVZPAG
XPOTIPEK
XPUVIPEK
Note: See note for "Screen Scrolling Threshold Is Set To 1/3 Instead Of 1/4." This cheat allows even more advanced warning of approaching enemies.

Screen Scrolling Threshold Is Set To Center
EAEVLPAG
EAUVZPAG
EAOTIPEG
EAUVIPEG
Note: See note for "Screen Scrolling Threshold Is Set To 1/3 Instead Of 1/4." This cheat sets the scrolling threshold to the center of the screen. Allows for more advanced warning than the 1/3 and 2/5 cheats, but might be annoying to use, depending on your preference.

EZVUAZAL
Note: Works great with "Superfast Attacks" and "All Weapons Fly Straight When Thrown."

Straight-Flying Weapons Fly Slower
IPVUAZAL
Note: Works well with "All Weapons Fly Straight When Thrown." Might improve your batting.

GEUZOXAE
Note: Works well with "Jump Lower and Faster." Do not combine with "Better Jumping."

Better Jumping
TEXXOZIA
YEXXSZTA
Note: A walking jump is now higher than a standing jump, and a standard running jump is a little higher than it used to be. Works well with the "Moon Jumps" and "Jump Lower and Faster" cheats. Do not combine with the "Jump Higher" & "Jump Much Higher" cheats.

[Helder]

The same code?:


Moon Jumps (higher) ALOXUZEA
Moon Jumps (much higher) ALOXUZEA

[BeyondTheStatic]

The same code?

Thanks for catching that! Had a slight mix up with my original notes and the finalization step before posting. Fixed!

[BeyondTheStatic]

Some enhancements for another classic. The scrolling speed codes might not be too useful, and they lead to a bunch of distracting starts and stops, but it was a fun experiment anyway

This is one of those games that desperately needs a remake. Something with a more complex overworld and 2.5d graphics...

Guardian Legend, The (U) - NES

Destroy Any Solid Block In Overworld
AAXEASPA
Note: This doesn't include temporary blocks around mini bosses.

Destroy Any Solid Block In Overworld + Blocks Break In 1 Hit
AAXEASPA

Note: Doesn't include temporary blocks around mini bosses. Certain blocks like door covers and item boxes will require more than one hit from your weapon.

~ [B]Spaceship Codes[/B] ~

Spaceship Can Shoot Primary Weapon in All 8 Directions
EOXELGAI
Note: Works pretty much like when in humanoid form: your projectiles are shot in the direction you are moving. The difference is that when motionless, your projectiles will be shot upward (default).

Spaceship Can Use Secondary Weapons in All 8 Directions
EOVATYAI
Note: Works pretty much like when in humanoid form, the exception being that when not moving, all weapons assume their upward status (default). Not all weapons are supported, but the ones that work are pretty cool (check out the 1st laser sword).

ESSENIEL
ESVEOIEP
Note: If you go out the left side, you'll come out the right, and vice versa.

Spaceship Wraps Around Screen Edges Vertically
ESUEOIEL

Note: If you go out the top side, you'll come out the bottom, and vice versa. Note that at the bottom of the screen your spaceship will be obscured by the HUD.

Spaceship Wraps Around All Screen Edges (toroidal mapping)
ESSENIEL
ESVEOIEP
ESUEOIEL
ESKAUIEP
Note: If you go out of any side, you'll come out of the opposite one. Note that at the bottom of the screen your spaceship will be obscured by the HUD.

OZUTYSZX

APUVZSZV
IAUVLSOZ
ZGUVGIAE

Note: The speed is variable, where screen top = fastest, and screen bottom = slowest (stopped). Does not work well with "Spaceship Wraps Around Screen Edges Vertically" or "Spaceship Wraps Around All Screen Edges."

[Helder]

Dude I love this game! It was so good when I played it as a kid and I still remember this pass word that was all "J" letters to get you ahead in the game.

[BeyondTheStatic]

Yeah, I used to enjoy it a lot, too. Even beat it once. Never knew about that special password though... heck, I didn't even know about its all-corridor mode until a couple of years ago. I still consider it one of the best shooters I've ever played.

[Unicode]

Hi, @BeyondTheStatic, I know you're may be done with Super Mario Bros. 3 for NES... But I want to ask: you can make a codes:

1. Can Carry More Than 28 Items In Your Inventory (There are a LOT of power-ups you can get in the game and inventory often isn't enough to storage everything, though I think this code may is difficult for making);
2. Can Collect Up To 255 Extra Lives Instead Of 99 (Really there are a LOT of Extra Lives in this game that Mario / Luigi can get);
3. When You Bash A Block Containing A Super Mushroom / 1-Up Mushroom / Invincibility Star Power-Up, It Always Goes To Mario/Luigi, Instead In The Opposite Direction (i. e. never happens if you stand of left side of block, Power-up goes to right, or if you're standing right, the power-up goes to left);
4. Invincibility Stars Lasts 2x As Long / 3x As Long / Until You Complete Current Stage (Normally they lasts for slightly short time);
5. Get The Frog Suit / Hammer Brother Suit Instead Of Super Mushroom In Toad's Houses;
6. Get The Tanooki Suit Instead Of Super Leaf In Toad's Houses;
7. Replace Normal Goombas / Green Koopa Troopas / Red Koopa Troopas / Pirahna Plant With Their Giant Versions - Giant Goombas / Green Gargantuan Koopa Troopa / Red Giant Koopa Troopa / Pirahnacus Giganticus appearing in World 4 "Giant Land";
8. Take Any Door To Beat Maze Fortresses In Worlds 3 & 8.

Thanks you in Advance!

Can Collect Up To 255 Extra Lives Instead Of 99

I think we had this discussion already but why would you want 255 lives instead of Infinite Lives or 99 Lives... What's the point? Just curious.

[BeyondTheStatic]

I think we had this discussion already but why would you want 255 lives instead of Infinite Lives or 99 Lives... What's the point? Just curious.

I can see why somebody would want this. Major cheats (like infinite lives) can often ruin the gaming experience: by removing any challenge in a game you also remove the fun, since you're no longer worried about playing skillfully.

While I might occasionally post major cheats, my favorite codes are those which give you only a slight edge, or ones that improve or tweak the gameplay, or ones that do new and wonderful things.

However, some games are so friggin difficult that I can't imagine beating them without major cheats (Solstice is a good example).
