[blockch] G.T. Block Challenger

This forum is for posting M.A.M.E. Work In Progress "Arcade"cheats that are not quite ready for the prime time. If the cheats are buggy or the cheat descriptions are non-standard then please post them here. Help maybe given but there are no guarantees and they will only be added to the cheat file when the cheat file maintainer is happy with them.

The above code has problem. Ball often passes through a block then goes to out of screen.
I don't know this is cheat related bug or emulation problem (this game is "not working" status).

Other addresses are...
  • 206f : credit
  • 2055 : life
  • 2052 : ball x-position
  • 2053 : ball y-position
  • 2062 : flag for ball rise or fall
  • 2056 : score (2bytes BCD)
  • 207a : top score (2bytes BCD)

  • "keep a ball" : Changed status as test.
  • "ball speed" : Added new as test.
There games are marked as "machine not working". The ball doesn't appear in the field after start the game so that I can't verify the cheat codes.
