Tetriminos, will start on your request shortly but decided to make a better level select code (the current one takes 4 codes).
Gain Ground (Genesis) Game Genie
This is for the Alt 1 version of the game, which seems to be the most popular version.
D2HA-AA50
Enable level select in Option menu.
Haven't tested it that much, but seems to work fine. I only tried it with the level select code. You can adjust the value much higher that 4 if you'd like and I'm pretty sure that the value will reload for each new level (you'll start each level with that amount). It also looks like the infinite continue code that I linked to will work on this if you'd rather do that. Let me know if it works for you.
Gain Ground (Genesis) Game Genie
This is for the 'Alt 1' version of the game, which seems to be the most popular version.
AVHT-AAA8
Start each level above level 40 with 4 continues (you normally don't get any continues on level 41 and up, even if you had some from before). You can easily adjust this code to start each level (above 40) with as many as you want.
Made a couple more. Since the hit anywhere code makes the game a little too easy, I've also included a Y axis only code.
Gain Ground (Genesis) Game Genie
DK4A-AA34
Hit enemies from anywhere, no matter where they are (works with all characters and weapons).
AK4A-AA4W
Hit enemies from anywhere when they're lined up above you (works with all characters and weapons).
So, I have been looking at Puggsy, and rather than make a new thread (I see that the MD version has not been reviewed yet, something in which I'm interested) I'd like to ask a question about this graphically very impressive game: Is there a way, once I have bought my copy, to play this on an emulator?
I have read that the game, when copied, checks for SRAM after level 5, and if found, kicks you out of the game as there should be no SRAM found on a proper cart. Obviously, when I ask this of Google, I get links for ROMZZZ. I imagine there is hack or similar for it?
Also, what is the best version, MD or CD? Cheers!
Interesting, don't think I've heard of that copy protection before for Puggsy. The attempt to write to SRAM and the check to see if it's there can probably both be fixed with Game Genie codes, but according to this, that may not be so easy: https://tcrf.net/Puggsy_(Genesis)Quote:

You can always get a ROM and an emulator and see what happens.
If you find that you're having a problem with that SRAM thing, let me know and I'll see if I can figure out some Game Genie codes to get around it, but no guarantees.
EDIT: Looks like someone already figured it out: https://forums.sonicretro.org/index....-3#post-702946
Nice one, thank you Tony.
Just tried doing a normal gameplay, no level select cheat, playing at normal difficulty.Quote:

Tried with and without the infinite continues code activated, and tried getting a game over in every way (time over and dying), same result...
Did the continue code work when you used the level select? Pointless to spend time on the code if you have a different version.Quote:

Anyways, if the code for continues works when you use the level select, I'll need a save state just before you finish the level before round 5. It needs to be either Gens or Kega Fusion.
You're welcome.Quote:

Tests I have done (all in normal difficulty, unless stated):
TEST 1 - Using both the game genie code you provided for activating level select plus the code for continues on level 41+ (but NOT the code for infinite continues). Choose to start at lv 48. It works and gives you just 3 continues, as it it by default in the rest of the game.
TEST 2 - Code for continues on 41+, but without the GG level select code, instead using the manual level select code (ACBC), starting from lv 41: the outcome is the same above.
TEST 3 - Applied the three codes; level select, continues on levels 41+ and infinite continues: the code for continues stop working on lv 41. Everything worked fine until lv 40, though. On hard mode, got infinite continues when starting at levels 41 up to lv 50.
TEST 4 - Used the infinite continues code and the continues on 41+ code, but NOT the level select code (used the manual code). On hard mode, both codes works perfectly, I get infinite continues from lvs 41 to 50. But it does not work on normal and easy mode: the continues stop working at level 41.
TEST 5 - I got curious and tried to use the three codes but start at lv 40 on hard mode. Surprinsingly, this time they didn't work. Not on lv 40, not on any level I played before it without resetting. Died and got an instant game over.
Conclusion: The codes work as intended only on hard mode, but seem to have their success attached to starting directly on the level by using a level select cheat. Playing normally does not "trigger" the AVHT-AAA8 code for having continues from lv 41 onwards.
I made three Kega 3.64 savestates on the boss of lv 40, with only 1 hit left to kill it (shoot the small circle atop his front side). Rom is Gain Ground (UE) [c][!]. Before making the save states, I tried dying 5 times on "test 3" and "test 4", and got to continue normally.
Thank you very much for you patience and dedication, I know this is getting boresome... :sorry:

I'm trying to reply to this post for a week now but for some reason my replies aren't getting approved, maybe it's the rar with the state files you asked for...Quote:

This unused stuff is mentioned here at TCRF, but no mention on what they are. The first two codes give you access to all of it. https://tcrf.net/Herzog_Zwei
Herzog Zwei (Genesis/MD) Game Genie
BK4A-AA2C
Access all hidden/unused units in the game (in the menu when you press C). Keep pressing right to see all the hidden/deleted units, press left to see only the normal units. There are two deleted units called "NOT USE" that are actually turrets. You can build and deploy them. There is a unit called KIDOU that you can build and deploy, but not sure what it does. Some of the units will show garbled pictures and text (haven't experimented with those yet).
BK4A-AA64
Access all hidden/unused commands in the game (in the menu when you press C). Keep pressing right to see all the hidden/deleted commands, press left to see only the normal commands. All of the commands seem to work, but I'm not familiar enough with the game to know what the differences are.
7X5A-LA6E
Enemies (tanks, infantry, etc) won't attack you when you're on foot, although the enemy jet may attack if it changes to the foot soldier when it sees you.
ADRA-LJEL
Supply trucks start with 10x more HP (probably works on CPU as well).
RGGA-A6Z8
Walk over canyons/valleys when on foot (also works with tanks, etc).
HA6T-AA8L
Walk thru walls, rocks, water, etc when on foot.
AGEA-AAFY
Only need 1 infantry to conquer an outpost (instead of 4). Also applies to CPU so best to turn the code On only when entering an outpost, then turn it back off.
GGEA-BTY6
Adds 4 infantry to an outpost when you drop off 1. Also applies to CPU so best to turn the code On only when entering an outpost, then turn it back off.
Working on other stuff now, so I may get back to yours later.Quote:

Shots have twice as much power (doesn't work if you hit the "Max" power spot and doesn't work on the Lag shot). If you hit the max power spot when shooting, you will get the normal max power, so if you want the 2x power, just make sure to stop the power meter anywhere below the max power spot. The CPU player still has the normal amount of power.
