Adventures in the Magic Kingdom
(BUR) GameGenie (added 28.09.15):
There are three debug routines/helpers still sitting in the game's ROM. Two of them seems meant to be called anytime during the game with currently unexisting button codes to view or change current state of the game data and variables. Third one is for debugging the game message dialogs. All routines can't be re-enabled without some extra hacking, but can be accessed somehow with following GameGenie codes.
| GAVYVOGK | - | Very hacky way to see the debug variables display at the top-left corner of the screen during the game and only if the RAM variable $AA is not zero. There are no proper number sprites left in most of the CHR sprite banks, so you couln'd see something useful anyway. |
| PTVSUTZE+OYVSKVKK+KYVNSPTE+UZVNVPEA | - | Use these codes to enter the sprite/palette/music test instead of the quiz mode during the game. This routine starts from the Sprite view mode. Use Left or Right to change sprite displayed on the screen, It will be displayed animated, but there is no proper CHR bank setup for every sprite, and only the current one is used, so many of the sprites are can't be seen properly. Press Select + Start to reset the game. Press Up + Start to enter the Palette/Sound test mode. A set of vertical sprites will be displayed. Again, there are no number sprites, so all numbers are unreadable. You can do the following operations in this mode: Press Up or Down to move the cursor to the desired palette index from 0 to 15. Press Left or Right to change selected palette index by 1. Hold A or B in addition to change the hi bits of index. Press B + Start to select the background palette to edit, press A + Start to select the sprites palette. The first palette entry number also represents the music/sound track index, press Start to play it. Finally, press Down + Select to exit back to the Sprite view mode. |
| PTVSUTZE+OYVSKVKK+TGVNSPTE+KZVNVPEA | - | Replaces the quiz mode with the Message test mode. Press Left or Right to change the message number at the top of the screen (and surprisingly visible), press A to display the message. There are several messages unused in this game.%Indexes $00 and $01 are for the hidden programmers message "ADVENTURE IN MAGIC KINGDOM BY BAMBOO!!! TENTIWOKURAU WO YORUSIKU!!! SATURDAY'S MORNING IS MORNING SALAD". This message can't be seen during the game in other way. Index $02 is for the dialog window test message with a lines of letters. Index $03 is unused default "HELLO!" message for the quiz mode people with indexes above 7, but there are only 7 characters in this game that offers you a key for answer the questions. Probably on the early stage they were meant to be on the map all at once and you should find the right one every time, and all characters with no quiz may say the default message. In the final game, there is no one left on the map, when you got this quiz key and no one you can speak with. Indexes $51-$55 are for unused dialog messages that offers you something instead of the Silver key. So either the one way or another, there should be a game behavior or a side quests that offers you something instead of silver keys. One more evidence for that is the unused graphics on the items screen, in addition to "KEY" string, there are "ITEM" and "PLESENT" strings graphic, which may be one of the prizes instead of Silver keys. |

This cheat combination was disabled in the final release. It was meant to be enabled with the button code Up, Down, Down, Right, Left, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Down, Right, but on development stage it was shorted to first two buttons. Because of oddity of the keypress test routine, the button codes are saved just for a short period, so you need to enter this combination as fast as you can while cheat is triggers. A rapid pressing of this buttons should work at some moment. |

The Continue code was meant to be 20-button, as in the Japanese version, and to help you enter it the confirming sound were added.

This confirming code is still in the US version and plays sound if you enter Left, Left, Left, B, B, B, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, B, Up, Up, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, which is full version of the continue code with one more button added. But since in this version the Continue code was shortened just to 8 symbols, this button code isn't much helpful anymore.

At the beginning of the stage 5, while refueling / reloading weapons on the ground, press Up + Right on controller 2 and A + Start on controller 1 at the same time and hold it during the take off.

This cheat was meant to be available at the end of refueling sequences at the stages 3, 5, 11, 16 and 21 with variety of extra missiles (20 or 40) and different button codes for each level, but in the final release there were an additional check added, so this cheat is available only on stage 5, and the button codes for all levels present in the unused array are the same.

It means that continue cheat will work. This confirming sound still sitting in the US version but since the Continue button code was shortened just to 8 symbols, the confirming of the 20-buttons code isn't much helpful. ;)

All codes should be entered at the title screen.
There is three internal counters for three buttons: Select on both controllers counts as the same value, A on controller 2, and B on controller 1. Each time you press one of these buttons, one of internal counters is increasing, regardless of it's order. When group of counters reaches the desired values, the final test performs for the pressed button combinations on both controllers. The program doesn't care which controller you use for the final combination, you can do any buttons on any controllers you wanted, only one condition must be performed: all desired buttons must be held when counters are reached desired values. Note, that when you press the final combination, internal counters continue to increasing, so if you press one of the "counted" buttons as part of the final combination after counters are reached desired values, your cheat won't trigger.

In addition to generic NAMCO copyrights, RESET routine in this game uses string
MR TAKASI FUKAWAto check if game was soft or hard reset.
(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GENYEIEI | - | There is a 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 from 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. |

(BUR) Copyrights check (added 23.07.15):
As most games by Konami made after 1991 year, this game contains some simple copy protection. During the game, there are two particular places, where the protection checks is performed. The first one occurs at stage 2-3 during the battle on the Ivory Tower, where it constantly check for the presence of the part of the title name data. The second one performed at the second part of stage 2-2, once when a helicopter bomber enemy appears on the screen and checks for Konami logo tilemap in the PRG-ROM. If one of these tests fails, the special protection flag is raised. There are two main effects triggered. First, at the stage 3-1, it will change its state so if you had already recorded the Penguin's conversation, but the flag for this event isn't raised at the same time, renders this level unbeatable. Second, any correctly generated passwords obtained after protection is triggered (even after the game over and beginning of the new game), will fail at the password entry screen. This flag only will reset if you enter the clean password or reset the system.
(UNI) Password generator (added 22.07.15):
Some notes about the password system and the game itself:
1. Stage 6-1 doesn't generate any passwords normally during the game, because there is no fatal events on it, you just can't die there. But you still able to get to this stage with the custom generated password.
2. The "Damage taken" counter is what you've got every time you get a hit from enemy or die. Regular hits add 8 times of the hit power value to this counter, the game over add 1024 instantly. The amount of continues you may use is unlimited, but the more you die or get hits, the bigger the damage counter. There are two main effects depends on it:
a) the amount of HP you got refilled after continue; calculated as 0x28+(damage/128), but not much than your current HP capacity
b) the different endings; less damage counter, more detailed the ending
There are total 4 ending variants. Two are the good ones, two are the bad.
1. The damage counter above 14848: only the staff roll with the stage 1-2 boss easter and the final message "YOU TOOK TOO MUCH TIME TO GET HERE. TRY GETTING HERE SOONER."
2. The damage counter between 14848 and 9984: additional bat signal screen before the staff, the same stage 1-2 easter and the message "YOUR SKILL HAS IMPROVED, BUT YOU'RE NOT A REAL HERO YET."
3. The damage counter between 9984 and 5376: the full demo sequence with the scene of the Penguin death, following the bat signal and staff roll with stage 2-3 boss Catwoman easter instead, and the message is "CONGRATULATIONS! BATMAN,YOU'VE SAVED GOTHAM CITY."
4. The damage counter less than 5376: additionally a Catwoman picture appears on the bat signal screen, and the final message is "AWESOME! YOU ARE THE HERO OF ALL HEROES."
3. The "Game start" flag is used to determine if you access the password menu after the game over screen or you just powered up the console. Depends on it will or not clear some game variables. This prevents the game parameters and flags from erasing between game plays, and even if you choose "END" at the game overs screen, you can always go to the password menu and enter the default generated passwords (which is the same as on the game over screen) and continue the game. However, this flag is set to 1 ALWAYS when you start a new game or continue one way or another, it's is only has value 0 before the first game play after the reset. So technically, every password generated by the game after the game is started has this flag set, and only 4 random default passwords generated after the game reset, has this flag clear. When you generate any valid password, doesn't matter if you set this bit or not.
4. The "Test tube" flag is a special item, not displayed on HUD, but you can obtain it on stage 2-2 inside the cat's eye on the background after beating two trident armed enemies. Used automatically on the stage 2-3 boss Catwoman, cuts its HP by half.
5. The "Conversation" flag is set when you record the Penguins conversation in one of the rooms of the stage 3-1. This will change the level layout and allows you to complete it. You can't avoid setting this flag during the normal game, generated passwords with this flag set lead to the second part of the stage.
6. Also there is a special anti-pirate flag, if set, it makes any valid passwords not working. Here this flag is forced to be disabled for obvious reason.
7. There are two special debug flags, that can't be set during the game, and may be only generated. The invulnerability flag disables the HP decreasing. The Level Select flag is another debug leftover, allows you any time during the game, except the cutscenes, change current stage up to stage 4-2 instantly by pressing Left or Right on controller 2. The stages above 4-2 can't be accessed with this cheat.
8. "Box in hand" and "Box filled" are represents the special HP storage item. First is for amount of this items in your posession (given to you instantly after the stage 1-2 boss, the rest are hidden at some places). The second is amount of filled ones with HP. Actual HP counter in this game is 8-bit in size, so can contain as much as 255 HP. Only 64 HP is displayed in the HP bar on HUD, this takes only 6 lower bits of the number. When calculating your HP, the game will check for amount of boxes in posession and fills the higher two bits of the HP depending on it. So normally during the game you can't get the HP counter more than 64+(box*64) value. However, game doesn't check this when you lose your HP and decreasing it as if it full 8-bit value, so with this password generator, you can set "Hitpoints" + "Box filled" vealues to maximum to get 255 HP ingame without posessing the boxes at all. Unfortunately, the HP will be dropped back to 64 after the first continue.
9. And finally, there are two unused bits in passwords, that can be used for unique passwords generation, but doesn't appears to have any effects during the game.

(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GEXVLAEI | - | 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 simpler 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. |

1. There are 34 valid rounds in this game, but the password system allows up to 64 rounds, so all rounds between 35 and 66 will obviously glitch the game or hang it. You can try it by setting the corresponding checkbox.
2. The Jun Misugi's guts test starts from round 17. If its guts drops under 100 after the round is over (no matter if you win or loose) then in the next round it will have zero guts. This behaviour can be stored in the password as well.
3. There are much more characters in this game in 3 different teams than the password system can store. So, one player position in the password used to store level for a multiple characters, for three teams at once. Here is the table with the lists of characters in all teams for every player slot in password.

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 simpler 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 WRAM. |

HARUHISA.UDAGAWA & KUMI.HANAOKA
(BUR) GameGenie (added 23.06.09):
| GAUYNTEI | - | There are a 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. |

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 simpler 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 WRAM at $7800. |

HARUHISA.UDAGAWA & KUMI.HANAOKAThis text is a part of a hidden CRC test routine and used in some other games programmed by the same people.
(BUR) GameGenie (added 23.06.09):
| GANNVTEI | - | There are a 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 the 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. |
Family Mahjong II - Shanghai heno Michi
(UNI) Luck control (added 09.04.14):
In the Mahjong Grand Prix mode, the program does some additinal luck manipulation. Although the tiles are shuffled once before the match, sometimes, the game can look for the tile, that can help you to complete the mahjong, and swap it with the topmost tile in the stack, which should be tossed to the player in the next round. It depends on the player's stats (mahjong power, luck and stamina), which determines how many tiles in the nearest stack will be checked for the tile you need. If sum of your stats is greather than 200, then no tiles will be checked, if sum is between 150 and 200, then first 10 tiles will be checked, first 7 tiles will be ckecked if sum is between 100 and 150, and finally only first 4 tiles will be checked if sum less than 100. Obviously, if there are no useful tiles in the nearest stack, you'll just get the next random tile from the stack. This also does mean, that you just obtain the tile you need much earlier, but all the tiles you don't need will be given to you later anyway.
Normally, you can only control the depth of mentioned search by keeping the player's parameters in the proper range. This gives you a little more luck during the game. But you can obtain the useful tile only when the programm picks one of your tiles in hand to check if any other useful tiles in the stack, this means a random value in range from 0 to 255 should be less than 13. However, you can increase it's probability slightly, by using the buttons on controller 2. Every button stands for a number: A - 1, B - 2, Select - 4, Start - 8, Up - 16, Down - 32, Left - 64, Right - 128. When you hold a button combination, the numbers are summing, and resulting value is using as the divider for the random generator. The resulting random number calculated as remainder of division. For example, hold A on controller 2 during the game, and all random numbers will be divided by 1. Remainder of this operation is always 0, so, the game will look for the tile that exactly or less by 1 than leftmost player's tile in the hand. Or, hold A + Select + Start on controller 2, to divide the random number by 13. In this case, it will always look into the player's hand and pick up any of it's 13 tiles to look for in the stack, resulting in higher probability.

| GEVYNPEI | - | 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 simpler 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. |

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy, The
All versions:
(FIX) Immune to spiders (added 03.03.16):
The game has a programming bug, which may cause the immunity to the spider enemies. Every time you take damage or lower it, the damage progress bar is filled or drained accordingly. Press Select during the progress bar animation period to show the items screen and then press Select again to return back to the game. This causes the damage change process to abort. Which means you may not only loose some life points, when refill process is interrupted, but either stop taking additional damage. But most importantly, this stops the spider enemy collision code to detect the collision with main character, rendered the Dizzy immune to spiders for some time. Untill you take another damage or restore it in the normal way. It can be done either after the fruit eaten or when spider itself is touched.

| GASYSIEI | - | 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 simpler 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 WRAM. |

| GAXYNTEI | - | There are a 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. |

| 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. |

(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. |

COPYRIGHT 1986 NAMCO LTD.ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
(UNI) Password generator (added 29.11.13):
(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GAVYNTEI | - | There are a 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. |

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 simpler 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 WRAM. |

HARUHISA.UDAGAWA & KUMI.HANAOKAThis text is a part of hidden CRC test routine and used in some other games programmed by the same people, in this game it used as one of the test data.
(BUR) GameGenie (added 23.06.09):
| GANYNTEI | - | There are a 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. |

Use Up, Down, or Left on controller 2 to change the game section / level (total three sections, 20 levels each), press Right to start from selected level. Note, that if you press Right first, before the level number setup, the game will hang due to improper stage initialization (var $0372 should be set to $01 before the stage start, it will set only if you change level at least once). Source: BMF54123 |
| PAVAYEOK+EGVEAAVA | - | Re-enables one more routine, quite unfinished. The code is similar to the FDS checksum self-test, which should test some portions of the ROM and quietly continue to work. In our case, code is able to test any bank and any address location and keep all it's checksums, but there is only the last bank is tested $C100 to $FFFF and checksum for it is wrong, so code goes to infinite loop with message "CHECK SUM ERR". There is at least one more unused debug function, which is displaying the pressed buttons on the screen, but it need more hacking to get it work properly with current code. The rest of unused data is the half of the regular FDS bios, which is partially used as library for some functions as quick and lazy programming method. |

(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GEONVTEI | - | There are a 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 ged 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. |

Haruhisa.udagawa & Kumi.HanaokaThe last sentence in the first string means "I love Kumi-chan so much!".
(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GEOYNTEI | - | There are a 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. |

(UNI) Different endings (added 18.04.15):
There are four different endings in this game. One is a good true ending and three are bad endings of some kind. The only thing is responsible for ending selection, is a number of money. Due to some weakness in its calculation logic, the result sometimes is quite random. The number of money is a 10-digits decimal number, so maximum amount of money you can earn is 9999999999 (10 billions). The least two digits aren't actually used in calculations during the game, any price in shops is divisible by 100, any rewards too. The only way to have a lower digits changed is to die and continue the game. Every time you die, the counter will be increased. So basicly, this is always the deaths counter, instead of actually a money counter (as a side note, the way it's calculated caused some side effect: if you die more than 99 times this will reset counter to 0 and add 100 actual money to the counter).
The ending number is calculated based on comparison money digits. Lets name those digits from left to right with a letters: ddccbbxxaa. So, a - means the deaths counter, x - is ignored, b - count of 10000, c - count of millions, and finally d - count of 100 millions. The table below shows the ending selection logic. If you note, the calculations meant to be just check if number of money high enough, or too small to good ending. But actually, you may have A LOT of money, but with some specific digits combinations, this may end with bad or the whorse ending anyway!
| Ending 0, dancing on the south pole | - | (max(a,b) >= c) && (max(a,b) >= d) Maximum of a and b greater or equal to c and d at the same time. This will cause the bad ending either if you have c and d at zero, of just LOWER than a or b! |
| Ending 1, dancing on the grass | - | (max(a,b,c) < d) && (a >= 3) Maximum of a, b and c less than d and number of deaths greather or equal to 3. |
| Ending 2, wandering throught the world | - | (max(a,b) < c) && (max(a,b,c) >= d) Maximum of a and b less than c, but maximum of a, b and c greather or equal to d. |
| Ending 3, hawaii, the best ending | - | (max(a,b,c) < d) && (a < 3) Maximum of a, b and c less than d and number of deaths less than 3. |

The game contains a generic Namco's copyright text:
COPYRIGHT 1986 NAMCO LTD.ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDA.WACHI
(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GEONVTEI | - | There are a 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. |
