During normal game, every course consist of two parts, two qualify and one sprint race. You can retire from any course by press Select, but you get no points and will be last in the list. Now, just before the start of every sprint race part (results of the qualify part doesn't matter, so you can skip it), try to press A + Select at the same time, so you start a new race and immediately retire from it. If done right, the game won't init the racers list, but skip immediately to the result calculation, using the empty tables.

If you continue this operations for every course, you win! The same bug can be done with the "Taikyuu" race, but in this mode, there should be at least one winner. If all cars are retired, the race is over, so you just can't abuse this trick here.

(BUR) GameGenie (added 05.02.13):
| GAXTNAEI | - | 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 at $7800. |

In the game type 1, the location is selected with the random dice roll. Press B twice to stop two dices and put a stone. In the game type 2, press B while a star cursor is jumping randomly on the field to put the stone at the place where the star were located at that moment.
This cheat remains in the US version, but actually does nothing, except changing the mode name to "SLOT", forcing 2 player game, and selecting the stone pickup method in "SLOT GAME", descibed below.

(BUR) Hidden text (added 23.06.09):
The game contains some generic NAMCO hidden copyright text:
COPYRIGHT 1986 NAMCO LTD.ALL RIGHTS RESEEVEDPROGRAMED BY T.FUKUMOTOAlso at the end of the file there is some other text:
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.
(BUR) GameGenie (added 23.06.09):

| IVOXPASE (for the US version) | - | Only the US version of this game contains this mode, where you can not only enter your name, also the age, phone number and even the home address, and the program should generate some password for you. It seems, that western copy was intended to be used in some competition, like "Treasure Master", but cancelled and left unfinished.

| 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.
