this kind of cheat accepted?

Post by syndromtr »

hi,
i started to find end sequences of games.. found some, and tried this method, i wonder it can be accepted or not?

most games show demo games when coin is not inserted, i try to find very first start that 1st demo game runs, i change the jump table there and with a few lines of cheatcode, and instead of 1st demo game, end sequence is displayed.. problem is, after end sequence is fully shown, demo games do not continue, kind of cpu jam-stuck.. reset with F3 needed.. so is this cheat valid, like this?
see end sequence (comment: Do not insert coin and wait for a demo game to start - after end sequence, reset needed)

It depends, if it's possible to have a cheat to start on the end sequence without having to play any levels then that will always ace it as it will need no comments and have no side effects. If not then yes it would make it into the cheat collection otherwise it may just be classed as a technical curiosity.

Nice work with all the cheats recently btw, I must add them and do a cheat release around xmas/new year time.
