Can't wait to see what you´ll find out for the other two upgrades! :shock:

Cool, I'll leave the value at 10.

I've been working on the other upgrades (tires and engine) and they are a little more complicated when it codes to turning them on or off with Game Genie codes during gameplay. This first code will allow you to access the upgrade menu from the very start of the game, so you can choose which upgrade you want to start with. One drawback is that you are forced to use the manual transmission. Will have more codes tomorrow...

Turbo Outrun (Genesis/MD)

AKXT-AA56 +
RFYT-A612
Start a new game with the upgrade menu (you can pick a Turbo, Tire, or Engine upgrade before your first race). Note that you will start with the manual transmission.

EDIT: You can use the turbo upgrade code together with this code if you'd like (if you'd like to choose something else in addition to the turbo upgrade).

If I change the value for the music in stage 1 so that it plays the music from stage 3 instead, it will play the music from stage 3, but that is because you will be playing stage 3. If I told it to play the music for stage 4 and I selected stage 1, it would play the music for stage 4 as well as having you start on stage 4. It kind of acts like a level select code. The value for the music and the value for the stage are one in the same. If you change one, it will also change the other.

If you want, you can post a save state (Kega Fusion or Gens will work) right at the end of stage 5. That way, I can see if stage 6 works the same way as stages 1-4.

Hello Tony

I made two save state for Fusion:

the first is a the beginning of stage 5 (use save state slot 0), in case you want to try if stage 5 behave just like the rpevious four stages.

the second save is right at the end of the stage 5 (use save state slot 1)

It's fine really.
IMHO, manual transmission is the only way possible to play and master Turbo Outrun.
And as I suspected, starting the game with 'Higrip tires' is a major improvement and makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
So, even if it is not possible to activate the other two upgrades, as it is, it's already an excellent work from you. :ok:

Looks like there is no "easy" way to change the music on stages 5 thru 10. The game carries over the value from stage 4, and then just keeps adding 1 to it for the next level.

I'm going to put this on the back burner and may come back to it later.

MegaDriver, I have a question... Are you only allowed to upgrade each of the 3 items one time? In other words, once you've upgraded all 3 items, will the upgrade screen still show up and allow you to upgrade something a second time?

I know it's like 2 years, I never thank you on it

on the NES version of Batman:RTOJ

When you beat a boss with 1 bar of Health, You Health bar get's refilled in the NES version, not on the Genesis version

Is there a way to find where you have your health refilled at the start of each stage

You're saying that your health normally doesn't get refilled when you start a new level, and you want a code to do that?

Yeah like that, Will it be possable?

---

Yes, the game only allows to upgrade each of the 3 items one time.

The upgrade screen appears 3 times (when a certain level is cleared) but the item (or items) previously upgraded are no longer available to upgrade once more. The player has to forcibly chose between the ones left.
So, the only variation possible is the order of the upgrades. By the end of the game the car is fully upgraded (3 upgrades screen and 3 different upgrades installed, each one only one time).

Thank you!

Meanwhile I have another question this time it's not for the music
It's probably in the realm of romhacking and it's more a curiosity than a real request but I ask in any case:

would it be possible to change the spaceship sprite? TF IV has two ships, the second ship is unlocked at the end of stage 5 with a cutscene (I think you can see it in the save state) and and is used for the rest of the game.

I know it's unlikely, but since the game seems programmed in an odd way, maybe thel left both ships data included tor every level? That's my curiosity ^^

Thank you for the info, very useful. I had some new codes I was going to post, but I noticed that choosing the manual transmission gave you the engine upgrade, even if you didn't select it. I will have to find out if that is normal and that's how they make the manual trans car more powerful than the automatic trans at first, or if that was because of my code. If that's normal, then I'll need to figure out how they make the manual trans car even more powerful when you actually select the engine upgrade. Give me some time to figure things out and then I'll post the codes.

I'll look into that a little later. It might be possible to have that ship from the very beginning.

MegaDriver, made some good progress. Found out it was my code that was causing the issues with the transmission. I have an updated code from earlier, as well as a new code.

Turbo Outrun (Japan, Europe) Genesis/MD


AKXT-AA56 +
RFYT-A612
Start a new game with the upgrade menu (you can pick a Turbo, Tire, or Engine upgrade before your first race). Note that you will start with the manual transmission. UPDATED: If you want to have the automatic transmission, add this code: 9EDA-BRZR.

9VYA-BGE2 +
B3YA-AAE4
Start a new game with all 3 upgrades (Turbo, Tires, and Engine). Note that you will start with the manual transmission even if you choose automatic. If you want to have the automatic transmission, add this code: 9EDA-BRZR.

EDIT: I made this last code so that it shouldn't bring up the upgrade menu since you'll already have all 3 upgrades. If you test it long enough to make it to the next check point (wherever it is that you would normally see the upgrade menu), let me know if the upgrade menu shows up (it shouldn't).

Indeed!

Ok, so I have been playing for a while with your codes.

Yes, both are working.
The first one is better for getting used gradually to the performance increase.
The second one is simply supercool! :cool:
However the upgrade screen still appears, although no upgrade can be chosen (interestingly, the "icons" for the upgrades appear smaller, which intuitively suggests they are no longer available).

What can I say, with your codes Turbo Outrun has made the leap from mediocre to really enjoyable. :D

Glad to hear the codes are working well. The fact that the upgrade screen appears is probably perfectly fine. As long as you can't select any of them, then we will call it good.

I may look into some more codes for this game. Thanks for all the help.

That patch would almost certainly require more than 5 Game Genie codes (which is the limit of a real Game Genie). And to be honest, I have no interest in doing this since it is someone else's work, and there is no challenge in it for me.

If you know how to use a hex editor, you can figure it out yourself. Just apply the patch and then compare the original ROM to the patched ROM and count the number of differences.

So you're asking for a way in the Mortal Kombat 1 Sega CD version to completely turn off morphs and letting the system load two additional characters into memory when playing as Shang?

---

Is there way to turn off shang tsung morphs without loading additional characters?

Its not a problem if shang tsung cant morph into others characters. i only want him to not morph. Or still its more what some hex edit can do?

---

The hacking tools I use for Sega CD aren't very good, which limits what I can do. Just the morphing can probably be disabled with minimum editing, but I'm not really interested in trying because of the poor Sega CD tools.

Can you supply me with a Kega Fusion or Gens save state shortly before you defeat a boss with your health somewhere below full?

How would I do that?

I ported over the codes I made for the Mega Games 3 version.

Super Monaco GP (USA) (Rev C)

Note: These codes may not work with the other versions of the game.

CBSA-AA7L +
ABTA-A6N4
Much faster acceleration and top speed. Can modify second code (ABTA-A6N4) to adjust the acceleration and top speed.

ABSA-BA7T
Accelerate much faster, especially in higher gears.

ACCA-ATLL
Accelerate faster, and can take turns faster. Code can be modified.

XKSA-AC7A +
AVRT-AACN +
E3VA-AG8N
Adds an extra gear to the automatic transmission, making it a 5 speed automatic instead of a 4 speed, and top speed is increased from 316 km/h to 335 km/h.

JBVT-ACC2
Increases the top speed of the automatic transmission from 316 to 405 km/h. Will not work with the 5 speed automatic transmission code.

RFRT-A61R
Shows which gear you're in when using the automatic transmission.

Im still looking for Road Rash 2 covers.

Yesterday a new Road Rash cover appeared:

And this guy will cover all the tracks of the game, will sound amazing with the tracks made by this guy.

He was the same guy that made this cover too:

You would do that with an emulator, but I've moved on to other things so it may be awhile before I may come back to it.

Made my first program which patches around 36 bytes in a Road Rash 2 ROM (Genesis). This heavily modifies the secret bike in the game (Wild Thing 2000) to make it accelerate faster in each of the 6 gears, higher top speed in all gears, more nitro bursts, much better handling, and of course bypasses the checksum routine.

Attachment 15559

Attachment 15558

To keep this somewhat on topic, this improved version of the Road Rash 2 bike editor will patch around 16 Game Genie codes into your Road Rash 2 ROM. There are now 3 different performance options that you can choose from. If you don't like one performance option, run the program again and try a different one. The program will not allow you to patch the wrong ROM, or the wrong version (there are two versions of RR2). May add more options as I learn more about programming. Fun stuff.

Newer version with a bug fix and some improvements...

Hawaii is the last of the stages left to do by him, there is another cool cover of hawaii but will need to see who makes the better cover:





And then, the busted theme and the cutscenes theme.

He will release a disc without the background noises of the game after finishing all the covers

This is the Hawaii cover made by another author:

That is awesome! Two thumbs up.

Shinobi 3: Return of the Ninja Master (Genesis)

RG5A-A6X8
Enable level select. Pause the game and press A, B, or C. The current level number will show up in the upper left corner (right below your number of lives). Hold A, B, or C and press Up or Down to change the level number, then press Start to warp to that level.

Im making some changes to the cutscenes of the game, so i can port them to an Openbor game that is being made by an user of the page "Chronocrash".

And for that , i would need a game genie code for disabling the HUD while you are playing (player health bar, time , numbes of lives, special metter).

Or make it transparent, so the screen is clean to make the modifications later.


Thanks!!!

Now the Road Rash 2 arranged soundtrack is finished, the thing is that, the complete soundtrack without game sounds in the background its behind a paywall:

https://deanharrismusic.com/


And there is a Guy that is doing a lot of "MSU-MD" patches to add Cd music to Sega genesis games:

https://www.youtube.com/user/alex71277/videos


But we need to buy the soundtrack so the guy can make the patch with the clean tracks. Im not working at the moment and im from argentina, my currency is really devaluated compared to dolar, so i cant buy it at the moment, but someone will and will post it somewhere i hope.

Sorry for bothering you again, but:



One of the guys that are making "MSU-MD" patches, bought the soundtrack of Road Rash 2, but he said this:

"Bought the "CD" and spent an hour poking around in the rom without anything useful. Since the EA drivers are completely undocumented, I don't think I could do anything useful without help. I anybody sees some docs, notes, maps etc. please let me know."

https://twitter.com/arcadetv/status/1312923332782755842




Do you think that you can help them in any way? I know that's not something you normally do, but can you at least talk with them?




Here are the twitter of the two guys making the "MSU-MD" patches
