It causes the game to reset - try it right before starting a game. If the game doesn't reset, no enemies appear.

Thanks, I've created a quick ROM cheat for it. Done a quick check and it seems to work ok....

Code: Select all

argus:0:1F9D:00:100:Invincibility
argus:0:1F9E:00:600:Invincibility (2/3)
argus:0:1F9F:00:600:Invincibility (3/3)

It's better but you still have to provide a way to disable it: at every stage end you have to land your ship and this cheat forbids this to happen (with the new cheat engine). I tried to disable it by turning off but this didn't work...

Using the old cheat engine, when I turn it off the ship crashes (?)

Thanks Martin :smile:

Right now the new cheat engine ignores the "restore previous value on disable" flag. Will fix soon.

As luck would have it I had another set of Invincibility cheats (RAM) for that game based on the original RAM cheat and they appear to work. I think Wayder did them originally, thanks Wayder.

Working fine now, thanks to you both. The ship occasionally maybe be destroyed but you can still play in the game.
