Official New Game Genie Code Thread

Yeah like that, Will it be possable?

Probably. I'll look at it when I'm done with other codes I'm working on.

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 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.

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 ^^

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!
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.

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.

In that thread, someone links to a patch that already exists to convert the ROM to use the nude graphics.

Yes, I saw that. But how can I apply the patch to an original cartridge on original hardware? That's why I was wondering if it is possible to replicate this effect using a Game Genie.

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?

That's more of a ROM hack/patch project, and probably not something that can be done with a few Game Genie type codes (eg changing a few bytes in the game iso file). You may want to post your request over at RHDN (ROMhacking dot net). They might be able to help you.

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.

Probably. I'll look at it when I'm done with other codes I'm working on.

Cool, Thanks

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

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?

[Tony H]

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.

pedodmc, I rarely do any work with music or sound in Genesis games, but Road Rash 2 was my favorite game, so I knew what I had to do. lol. Have always loved the music in RR2.

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:

Noice!

Ok, Again, How do I supply you wih a Save State?
