[tophuntr]Top Hunter PowerUp stack request
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2023 2:01 pm
Hi all! First of all, thanks to all the great cheats and the continued updates over time. I thought I could manage with this one but for my skills it was impossible. Info:
Top Hunter already has a cheat to obtain (Or always have, in the case) the power up. This is:
<cheat desc="P1 Always have Power">
<script state="run">
<action>maincpu.pb@108D0D=05</action>
This gives the power up but the game lets you stack those powerups. Character sprite is not changed but you get increased move varieties, bigger projectiles, etc. I don't know what the upper limit is, but 5 or 6 are obtainable at least.
To test this, you can try to change lanes where it is not possible (Different heights for example). You will bump into the other lane and the power ball will go flying. The permanent power cheat of course gives you immediately another powerup. Bump 5 or 6 times and grab all those power balls before they disappear, now check the moves again, they are different. So, the game keeps count of this number, and its not the same address of the original cheat.
I've been trying to discover the address, shouldn't be hard as one can increase the number of powerups using what I described above, but wasn't successful.
Well, hope someone here with more skill than me (easy, ha!) can achieve this. I would be grateful and another awesome cheat will be added to this marvelous database. Thanks for reading!
