Looking at cheat there seems to be one address that seems not to be needed.... Can't replicate the fault with it out, but I didn't try to replicate it with the cheat in either.

Does this work better?:-

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Invincibility Fixed?">
    <script state="on">
      <action>temp1 =maincpu.mb@22139</action>
      <action>temp2 =maincpu.mb@2213E</action>
      <action>temp3 =maincpu.mw@2176A</action>
      <action>temp4 =maincpu.mb@23F50</action>
      <action>temp5 =maincpu.mw@2504A</action>
      <action>temp6 =maincpu.mb@2562A</action>
    </script>
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.mb@22139=AE</action>
      <action>maincpu.mb@2213E=60</action>
      <action>maincpu.mw@2176A=0002</action> <!-- Parts 3-6 are 'Avoid In-game ROM Check Error' -->
      <action>maincpu.mb@23F50=60</action>
      <action>maincpu.mw@2504A=0002</action>
      <action>maincpu.mb@2562A=60</action>
    </script>
    <script state="off">
      <action>maincpu.mb@22139=temp1 </action>
      <action>maincpu.mb@2213E=temp2 </action>
      <action>maincpu.mw@2176A=temp3 </action>
      <action>maincpu.mb@23F50=temp4 </action>
      <action>maincpu.mw@2504A=temp5 </action>
      <action>maincpu.mb@2562A=temp6 </action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

Does this work any better? :-
put in slyspy.xml

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Invincibility Fixed?">
    <script state="on">
      <action>temp0 =maincpu.mq@00EDAE</action>
    </script>
