[lottofun] Various Cheats

[kelvSYC]

These cheats should be interesting and defeat the purpose of this one-dimensional ticket machine game.

In short, you select three, four, or six numbers from some list and watch as a virtual machine picks numbers out one by one. If they match, you win tickets (more if you match them in order).

Because it's a ticket machine emulated in MAME (which I still think should be removed since it's a no-skill game), it's very easy to cheat.

Firstly, the numbers. For these numbers, the graphics won't match up (ie. if you choose 9 through a cheat and 3 through the game, the ball will say 3 but will act like a 9), but will act as if it was.

1st number denotes the number you pick first and the number that will be drawn first - that is, it will appear at the bottom of the pile. Picked is what you picked, Drawn is what the computer draws.

One problem then arises: by default, the ticket machine only has 200 (changeable up to 999 through F2) tickets (changeable to tokens in F2) to give, but if you match all six, you win 5000...

Code: Select all

:lottofun:00100000:9831:00009999:0000FFFF:Always have infinite tickets to dispense
:lottofun:00100000:9833:00009999:0000FFFF:Always win infinite tickets

With these codes on, you'd trap the game in an endless loop! How this works is that once it calculates your winnings, the amount of tickets left to dispense is in the first addresses (in BCD format) and the amount of tickets yet to be awarded is in the second set of addresses (in BCD format).

Finally, for the cheats below, do not exceed the that you have to pick:

Code: Select all

:lottofun:00000100:982F:00000006:0000000F:Select number of matches in exact order
:lottofun:00000100:9830:00000006:0000000F:Select number of matches in any order

What happens is that the total number of tickets you receive is the greater of the two awards (this does not apply for Pick 6 since the game does not award you for matches in exact order). For example, in Pick 3, if you match two, one in order and the other out of order, it compares the number of tickets that you would be awarded for one in order and two in any order and award you with the greater (which, BTW, is 10 for any two instead of 6 for one in order).

Thus, with these cheats, you can tamper with the winnings all you want...

PS. Your winning totals (ie. what you win for your results) can be changed through your machine settings (F2).
