Mappy-Land

Japanese version:

(UNI) Stage select:
At the title screen, press Up, A, Down, B, Left, A, Right, A, Select + Start.

(BUR) GameGenie (added 04.07.14):
LVXZGAZA-At the title screen, hold A + B on controller 2, then press Start. There were an Extra lives cheat, but in the final release the number of lives given is the same as default, so there is nothing happens. With this code you can re-enable the lives cheat with Extra 99 lives.
GAVYNTEI-There are series of the Namco games, made by the same programmers Haruhisa Udagawa and Kumi Hanaoka, that contains the same self-test for the data integrity. To enable any of these tests you need a special device that should be plugged into the expansion port. The operation of that device is very simple. It should accept the data bit from the data input port and return it back inverted to the output data port. The device consists of 4-bit shift register, working as some sort of the FIFO buffer. The input bits are goes to the input and then shifted to te output after a 4 cycles. At the game's boot, it tries to send some special data to the device. If the data output doesn't match the data input inverted, then the game continues the normal operation. But if all data (usually 32, rarely 64 bytes) is matches, self-tests will be performed. The program calculates 24-bit partial checksums for the PRG (excluding the last 8K) and the CHR data, summing only every 15th byte, and comparing it against the etalon. Before testing of the PRG data, the background color turns red, before testing of the CHR data, it turns green. If any of these tests are failed, the program will jump directly to the reset routine. It means, one of these tests will be performed infinitely, but until the special device is plugged in, or until the test are passed. Normally, you'll see the red to green flash just before the game's boot. Or the static red screen if the PRG data is bad, or the flashing red to green screen if CHR data isn't good. Using this Game Genie code you can skip tests for the special device presence and jump straight to the integrity tests.

US version:

(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
GEVTZPEI-Some of the Namco games, which uses the 19 mapper PCB, contains also the specific self-test routine. It can test and initialize the internal RAM buffers. Similar to the other Namco games series, in order to run these tests, you must plug in a special device to the famicom expansion port. This device is much simpier than mentioned another device. It just takes one bit of data and immediately returns it inverted to the data port, there is no FIFOs inside. When the program detects the device presence, it performs RAM test and initialization. If RAM is already tested/initialized, the screen will turn blue. If RAM isn't initialized, but after init and test all is fine, then screen will turn yellow or pink. If, even after the reinitialization, RAM test fails, then screen will turn red. After the tests, program goes to the infinite loop, so yo must unplug special device to boot into the game. Using this Game Genie code you can skip the special device check and just directly to the RAM initialization routine. This game tests it's IRAM buffer, used for the expansion sound.
