[scobra+] "Infinite Continues" cheat

[stephh]

Here is a very useful cheat for games which have been in MAME for ages !

scobra, scobrase, scobras, scobrab, suprheli :

Code: Select all

  <cheat desc="Infinite Continues">
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.pb@813F=00</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

FYI, number of continues is limited to 0x04 in 'scobra' and 'scobrase' while it is limited to 0xff in 'scobras', 'scobrab' and 'suprheli' ...

BTW, I've noticed that 'suprheli' has no cheats in 0.137 cheats collection while it is a strict clone (including for ROM cheats) of 'scobras' ... From my comments in my updated galaxian.c driver (which will hopefully be in 0.137u2) :

- The only difference in main CPU with 'scobras' is not in code but in data :
* data at 0x0522+ displays "- SUPER HELI - " instead of "- SUPER COBRA -".
* data at 0x0547+ and 0x0799+ displays " " instead of "(c) STERN 1981 ".
* data from 0x5b26 to 0x5b32 displays "APPLE" instead of "STERN" on the first building in the "BASE"
(last) level.
* data from 0x5bbb to 0x5bc9 displays "ORANGE" instead of "KONAMI" on the other buildings in the "BASE"
(last) level.
As the code is the same, comments from 'scobras' also apply to this set.

I hope that this helps ...
