Cheat Codes

• 141B8-141CA - Cheat code info
  • Format works like this:
    • First byte indicates the number of button presses, excluding Right.
    • Subsequent bytes indicate the button presses:
      • 0x80 (bit 7) = Start
      • 0x40 (bit 6) = Select
      • 0x20 (bit 5) = B
      • 0x10 (bit 4) = A
      • 0x08 (bit 3) = Down
      • 0x04 (bit 2) = Up
      • 0x02 (bit 1) = Left
      • 0x01 (bit 0) = Right
      • These button presses, excluding Right, are stored in RAM, starting at 0xD100.
    • Last byte indicates which bit(s) are set to 1. The use of a bitflag allows multiple cheats to be used at once since they can be ORed together. Note that only the three least significant bits are used:
      • 0x01 (bit 0) = Play the card game after the title screen
      • 0x02 (bit 1) = Have 50 lives when starting the game
      • 0x04 (bit 2) = Unlock all levels except the Lost World.
      • This gets ORed with whatever value is in 0xFFF9 in RAM (which starts out at 0).
    • In each cheat code, each button sequence must be followed by Right. Pressing Right in the middle of a sequence does not affect anything.
  • Pointers for these cheat codes are found at 0x14188, 0x1418E, and 0x14194 in ROM.
