Oh, sorry about that Tony - I'll test the Addams Family Values codes seperately again and will let you know. I only saw it display all the items, I haven't tried using them. But I assume my results will be the same as yours, and that all 3 codes are required. Thanks for explaining what they do individually :) I'll test it to be sure, but I now doubt the single code will be enough.
Dit some more testing for the codes to get all items in Addams Family Values :) Here goes:
AL8B-TA88
I think this code gives you the items, but doesn't display them. It does however display each item after having individually selected each one. You can select any item you like. But after unpausing and pausing the game again, only the last selected item will be visible.
AMBV-TA6E
This code only displays all items. When trying to select one, it will say that you do not have the item.
AL7B-TA42
This code labels all the items. Also works without the codes to obtain/view the items.
GelmiR, thanks for the detailed notes.
Couple things I wanted to point out about the codes for Addams Family values. This mainly applies if you decide to try and complete the entire game...
The walk thru walls code and the invincibility code are both codes that are just enabling cheats that were put into the game by the developers for testing, so they should work pretty good.
With the Have All Items code, you usually still have to go find certain important items in the game, even if it shows that you have it. This is actually a good thing because it makes you follow the correct path for the game, and makes you complete certain events in the game. In other words, just because you have a key for a special door in your inventory, you might still need to go find it before the door will unlock. I didn't do too much testing on this, so I'm not sure about the details.
Thanks for the info Tony! :) Interesting, are there ways to turn on those codes without a Game Genie? Anyway, some more notes:
ABXV-TA66
Invincibility
- Spiked objects still hurt, though the Walk thru walls code (ABSV-TA4J) protects you from those.
- Can't pick up powerups when the code is on, inventory items are still automatically picked up when touching them
ABSV-TA4J
Walk thru walls
- Also offers protection from spiked objects
As far as I know, there's no way to enable them except with a Game Genie or PAR code.Quote:

Tony I know I bothered you fairly recently with a request for Speedball 2 codes, but would it be possible for you to look into a code for the EU version of SB2 that allows players to upgrade the team to 240 points per stat?
The game works like this, in League mode the highest a player can have their stats increased is 220 points, but in Knockout mode the maximum increases to 240 points. The game gets very hard near the end of a league playthrough so it would be fun to have the better players from the KO mode. For the purposes of testing, the infinite money code makes the process of upgrading players a fairly quick job. Thanks for any help with this one.
Okay thanks for the info, and you're welcome! :)Quote:

We got it working though. And as an added bonus, you can now select and view the game ending/credits.

A6NA-AAC6 +

AA6A-ABGL +

Level select menu. Important: If you're using an emulator, you MUST reset the game with the codes turned on. Select the level you want and press Start. Note that if you select "Exit", it will take you to the game ending/credits. If you want to select Granada (the starting level), you'll need to move the selection down one and then back to Grenada. All other level selections work fine.
Will take a look at that as soon as I'm done with the T2 Judgement Day code.Quote:

No-clip mode when in driving levels (AKA you can drive thru cars, trucks, etc).
Edit: The No-clip mode is only for traffic.
Thanks! If you thought the driving levels were hard by bike - they get a lot worse when you have to drive a cop car, or van, and police chase you all the way to your destination. And by chase, I mean they bump and crash into you :PQuote:

It also functions as an infinite health code for those levels, as traffic collision is the only way to get damage. I haven't noticed any side-effects on the platform or driving levels. It's also very useful for training/mapping out routes.
Thanks a lot Tony!! :D
By the way, this game is very finicky using Game Genie codes on real hardware. I've long since given that up, and only use them on emulators. When using codes on real hardware, I'd often get an illegal instruction screen, or something called the debugging monitor (black screen, red text). I have not tested this specific code on real hardware though, so I can't say if people would run into those kind of errors.
Thanks dude.Quote:

Here are some more codes for T2: Judgment Day that were on my site, but not on GameHacking dot net. Made them a long time ago and must have missed them.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Genesis) Game Genie
9TSA-DGRW +
AASA-CK0Y +
96SA-CAG0 +
42SA-C0R2
Infinite energy (except in driving levels).
AD1A-HP0L
Knife throwers don't hurt you.
A13A-GG0E
Knee kick is much stronger. You can kill enemies with 1 kick.
The last few years I have used these Terminator 2 Judgment Day codes by VisitntX for infinite energy (walking levels):
9X6A-BGEC
3D6A-AAEE
996A-AAEG
456A-A0NJ
I'm not entirely sure how they work, as I remember bullets, explosions, knives, etc. were all handled differently and would require individual Game Genie codes. When using these codes, I sometimes see the health go down for a couple of percent, but only for a split second. It then goes right back to 100%, so I guess it is constantly being written to be 100%? When turning off the first code, I got an illegal instruction screen and the game would freeze.
Anyway, thanks for those extra codes! :D Will make a new .pat file and do another playthrough using all of them. I will let you know how they work out for me :)
AD1A-HP0L - Knife throwers don't hurt you.
Works fine, also applies to the club/stick things that hospital personell throw at you in level 4 (Pescadero State Hospital). Does not apply to the T-1000 stabbing you, so only works on projectiles.
A13A-GG0E - Knee kick is much stronger. You can kill enemies with 1 kick.
Works great. Enemies don't even fall, they just disappear after a second :P I also used Game Genie codes to start in later levels. You start without weapons though, but I wanted to test the Knee kick code, so that was perfect. But the player is supposed to have weapons at this point, so kicks and punches did not work for me. I didn't expect anything out of this though, I just had some fun testing this.
9TSA-DGRW +
AASA-CK0Y +
96SA-CAG0 +
42SA-C0R2
Infinite energy (except in driving levels).
Now these have some interesting side effects. My notes:
- Player health is (almost) always at 98% and will go back there pretty fast when damaged.
- Watch your health (goes down fairly fast) when healing John or Sarah.
- Side effect is that in some levels, enemies do not show up with these activated. Turning them off will make them appear as they normally would. This applies to John's house (level 2) when setting off the alarm, Enrique's compound (level 4) and Dyson's house (level 6), in which special forces would never show up. Turing the codes off restores the timer before they do show up.
I'm interested in how the inifinite energy codes prevent enemies from appearing, any idea how that works? :)
I made that code a long time ago and don't remember the details. However, by looking at it I can tell that it is forcing a value into the RAM address for health. It's possible that the area of the ROM that I hi-jacked for the codes is causing the side effect. I usually look for safe areas to hi-jack, but may have made a mistake here. Can the level be completed with the enemies missing?Quote:

Thanks, I would rep if I could.
I've now finished a playthrough with the code for 250 points. The game is indeed a lot more playable because players don't get injured so easily (a major problem in division 1).
Like I already said, the game should have shipped with 250 as the maximum value, I can't see any reason to lock stats at 220.
Did a quick playthrough using these 2 codes. My findings:Quote:

AKKA-CA5C
Some enemies don't move. This includes the dog, rat, thug, snake and Lizard.
- Also works on Electro (in a way), he can only move up and down, and can't come towards you when walking away.
- Also works on Kingpin! This is very welcome! :)
- Needs to be turned off after defeating Kingpin, or the ending cutscene won't play out. The code applies to all characters in the cutscene, including Spider-Man.
edit: It also affects Spider-Man in the cutscenes between levels.
Thanks GelmiR, I'll update the code descriptions on those codes.
EDIT: Is the "Some enemies can't move" code worthwhile, or would it be better to get rid of it?
You're welcome! I had some fun testing these, been looking to test more codes and stumbled upon them. Not sure why I didn't test them earlier, I must have forgotten. But yes, I would definitely keep the code around - its use against Kingpin alone is worth it! :)
It prevents Spidey from pacing back and forth in the cutscenes with the scrolling text, but there is no need to turn it of because of this. Also, both Lizard and Electro appear twice in the game. I would say it is mostly useful against bosses. Electro can still move, but only vertically. I can get you a full list of enemies it works on, but if I'd have to summarize the code:
- Some enemies can't move. Also affects the Lizard, Electro, and Kingpin bosses. Especially useful against Kingpin. Needs to be turned off after Kingpin is defeated.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I also did some more testing for the Addams Family Values codes. With the walk thru walls code, I accidentally entered a place I wasn't supposed to be, yet. I defeated a boss there and got a reward for it. Later, I used the key needed to open the door to get to this area. The boss would reappear (though only his moving parts) and I would get the reward again. Just thought you should know that bosses reappear and getting inventory items a second time do not screw up the game.
As for the invincibility code, I came across an inventory item that was not automatically picked up and also required the code to be turned off. Previous inventory items were out in the open, and picked up upon walking into them. This latest one however, was dropped by a boss. That matches the non-inventory items dropped by random enemies for which the code had to be turned off. I think the description needs to be changed to something like this:
- Needs to be turned off to pick up items dropped by enemies.

I have a question for the beta/proto version of Home Alone. The final version has 5 houses to explore/protect, but the beta has a 6th house in the south-east area of the map. It can't be entered, and I doubt an interior was ever finished. But is there some way you could take a look at it to be sure? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! :)
Many thanks for the code notes, will update them when I get home.
Will investigate the extra house in Home Alone. Sounds interesting.
One question... on Spiderman vs Kingpin, was it known by a different name? When I looked for the ROM in my usual spot, I couldn't find it. I found the ROM before, but I'm sure I had to look somewhere else. I also noticed that there aren't any codes for it at Gamehacking dot net under that name.
You're welcome Tony! Thanks in advance for Home Alone :D The 6th house has a peace sign in the snow on its roof.
Edit: the text prompt to enter houses does not appear, but pressing start does work on the other 5 houses when in the right spot.
And yes, Spider-Man Vs. The Kingpin is only called that way in-game - on the box it just says "Spider-Man". It's this one:
https://gamehacking.org/game/15931
There's another one called "Spider-Man" by Acclaim, I think that one is also known as Spider-Man the Animated Series.
Got all the code descriptions updated (at GameHacking dot net and my site).
I took a look at Home Alone and have a code to try out. As far as I can tell, the code will allow you to enter the 6th house, but I think it's not really the 6th house. I believe you can press Start anywhere on the map and enter a house, but I haven't tested it enough and I'm not familiar enough with the game to know if I'm actually going into the 6th house. Maybe you can play around with it and see if you can verify that it's not really the 6th house.
From what I can tell, it's going to be fairly difficult to figure this one out. I've got a few more things I'm going to look at, and will keep you posted.
Here's the code...
RF9T-A61W
EDIT: This is for - Home Alone (USA) (Beta)
Good news, it looks like at least some of the programing is still there for the 6th house. These are the 6 different types of houses I've found: Colonial House, Farm House, Old House, Mansion, Modern House, and 60's House. From what I can tell, it's the "60's House" that was going to be used for the 6th house, but I haven't gone to all of the 5 other houses to verify that. Assuming that the 6th house was going to use the "60's House" type, I took a screen shot of it.
Attachment 14500
EDIT: I'm working on codes so that you can see it yourself, once it's verified that the 60's House is in fact the type that's used in the 6th house. Do you happen to know if the other 5 types of houses are the ones used in the other 5 normal houses?
I won't have time for a proper reply until a few hours from now, but yes! 60's house is not in the final game :D Modern house is called Ultra modern house in final, and farm house is called Country house, but other than the name, they're the same. Sweet, any little bit of info'd make me happy - I love this game :D Thanks in advance!
Edit: The blueprint in the image you posted is actually the one of the Old house, I can tell because of the missing stairs. But that doesn't mean there's nothing there - if I remember correctly, they use that blueprint for more than 1 house in the proto.
Edit2: Sooner than I expected after all:
The other house that uses the Old House blueprint is the Modern House. I have some general info on the game for you.
Your goal is to prevent Harry and Marv (the Wet Bandits) from looting and flooding the neighborhood houses. You do this by setting traps and using weapons on them once inside a house, this fills up the PAIN meter. You have to fill up this meter before they can loot the house and fill up the LOOT meter. Once the timer has run out, the police will arrive and the game will be over.
You can collect items in the various houses, and in the map as well (by running over snowmen). Most of these items can be used to craft weapons. The crafting menu is accessed by pausing the game while inside a house (not sure if it works in the map area from the top of my head). In Beginner mode, weapons are auto-assembled when having certain items. In Expert mode, you will have to select the items and craft weapons yourself. Though I don't think you can change the settings from Beginner in the beta version.
If you enter a house before the Wet Bandits have entered it, you will get to see the blueprint (and name) of the house, and will be able to set traps.
Though the map in the beta looks quite different from the one in the final game, the locations of the houses are more or less the same.
TOP LEFT: Modern House (renamed Ultra Modern House in final)
TOP CENTER: The Mansion
TOP RIGHT: Colonial House
BOTTOM LEFT: Old House
BOTTOM CENTER: Farm House (renamed Country House in final)
BOTTOM RIGHT: 60s House (now known thanks to you :D only in beta)
Edlt3: House interiors are also mostly the same in beta and final, with some minor differences. I've seen Dollar signs instead of safes, the basement/lower level in one of the houses (I think Farm/Country House, but not sure right now) in beta is smaller, and some other minor things. But beta and final houses are nowhere near as different from each other as the outside area is.
Edit 4:
A quick test confirmed this, I think it was also the same house anywhere I'd press start - but I should try again to be 100% sure.Quote:

Edit 5: Added attachment/screenshot for quick-view of the 5 house interiors.
Won't be home for awhile, but here's a bit of an update on Home Alone. There doesn't appear to any programming on the 6th house that allows you to press start near the front door and enter the house. I found that part of the programming and there are only 5 places for the 5 houses.
The best we can hope for is that we can use one of the existing houses to get inside of the 6th house, and that's if the interior of the 6th house is there.
Will investigate some more when I get home.
Edit: Thanks for all the help GelmiR!
No, thank you! Getting to see the planned official name for the house was already a great little tidbit :D Hoping for the interior of course, but wether it's there are not - thanks for all the effort!
GelmiR, here's a Game Genie code that lets you see the "60's House" blueprint when you go into the house next to you when you first start the game (the Modern House).
Home Alone (Beta)
A4DT-AACR
Go into the first house when starting a new game to see the unused "60's House" blueprint.
Tested it, works! :DQuote:

Finally figured out how the interior of the houses are loaded, and sadly, there are only 5 of them. :-( Well, at least we got the blue print.
That's too bad, but then - I didn't hold high hopes for its existence. But seeing its planned name was already really cool :) Thank you very much for trying and the time/effort you have put into this! :D
Edit: By the way, if you are interested in making Game Genie codes for the final version of Home Alone, I'd be happy to test them extensively :) I'm not really looking for specific codes, so it would be mostly for if you're looking for a game to make codes for. I do have some codes for it, but the game always freezes a few minutes in when using them.
GelmiR, I checked to see if the 6th blue print was in the final release, but it's not.
Working on some new codes. You had mentioned that some of the codes caused the game to freeze. Let me know if you have any problems with these.
Home Alone (Genesis) Game Genie
AB7A-CEFG
Start a new game with 6 of Torches, Ice, Tar, Toys, and Marbles (instead of only 3).
AB7A-CGFG
Start a new game with 9 of Torches, Ice, Tar, Toys, and Marbles (instead of only 3).
Wow, nice! Thanks, I'll give them a try today :D I've been using these codes, but the game freezes and I don't know why.Quote:

I think it also froze with just Master and infinite loot, so I guess I'll try them out individually. Is Master code mostly for emulation, or hardware? I'm currently playing it with emulation, on which it always freezes when using these codes.
Edit: Thanks for checking the final version for the blueprint of the 60's House! :)
Edit 2: The new codes work fine for me :) I ran into only one issue:
Turning off the code and resetting the game will result in a checksum error. This is no big deal, but I should you should know anyway.
Edit 3: Messing around with your codes I got one (AB7A-C8FG) that made me start a new game with 45 Torches, Ice, Tar, Toys, and Marbles :) I'm not trying to take credit for it or anything, I didn't make this, only changed it around a little :P
Didn't have time to test these much, so let me know if there are any problems. Makes getting those high items a breeze.
Home Alone (Genesis) Game Genie
9J4T-B94R
Jump higher. Only works when standing still.
9A4T-B94R
Jump much higher (all the way to the ceiling). Only works when standing still.
Nice! I just played the game again, really in the mood for it :) Will test these this evening!Quote:

Have never tried any of them. Do they freeze on real hardware or emulation? Do I have to do anything special to get the game to freeze?Quote:

I will do some more testing. Just used them again on Expert mode, which gives you 40 minutes instead of 20 minutes. The loot meter didn't go up, but after about 5 minutes it was game over and the police showed up. Something is up with these codes. I remember that the infinite time code would also mess up the timer display, and possibly the game itself as well.
By the way, that checksum error I mentioned when turning off a Game Genie code and resetting the game? I found out that it does this with most of the codes.
Edit: Those high jump codes don't work for me, I'm afraid. My first guess is that we are using different region roms, but I think there's only a (World) version?
