elvact2u & elvactrj cheats buggy

[Vec2017]

Two sets of noticable bugs - the Invincibility and Infinite Male/Female energy cheats, if activated, do not allow the player to proceed past the building explosion in the middle of the first level. Deactivating the cheats doesn't allow the player to move the elevator that remains (tested with invincble & energy cheats off - player can proceed).

Secondly, if those cheats are off, and the rest are on (infinite energy, time, etc.), the game resets itself after the end of the first level.

Long story short, it looks like the whole cheat set is buggy - I don't believe this one has been updated in quite some time.

I've updated the cheats slightly but to be honest I wouldn't have thought what I've done (changing byte pokes into word pokes) would be enough, but I had no problems with the first level - can you check these please.

First level works great - played through to the third level with a complement of the usual cheats on (lives, energy, invincibility, etc.) and its running smoothly.

Thanks for the quick update on this one!

Thanks for pointing it out, pleasantly surprised that fixed it to be honest.
