Gauntlet ROM cheat

Post by Pugsy »

This cheat is really buggy but I think this is due to the game mechanics more than anything else (and 'fixing' it may cause serious issues with gameplay). Basically this cheat allows you to walk through walls and also stops you getting held up by lots of nasties, it's got side effects though in that any parts of walls that you walk through will have invisible holes in them so that anything else can pass through the same invisible holes too (even including the players after the cheat has been disabled). It also has the more serious problem that if you walk over teleporters or exits with the cheat enabled you've effectively turned those tiles into background tiles so you can't use them even when you turn the cheat OFF. I don't think it's good enough to add to the cheat file as it's got too many side effects but I believe it's really quite a useful cheat.

Code: Select all

I revisited this cheat and I've got rid of most of the side effects by putting extra checks in seperate subs. Only side effect remaining is that you still leave invisible holes in walls after you pass through them, you can pick up stuff and use the teleporters ok though. Might actually add this to the cheat file...but probably won't duplicate it for the clones just yet.
