A Few Ideas? Game Cheats & Glitches?

[Amy]

Just wondering, ummm yeah not the exact place to put this, but eh, maybe soemthing that is good to add, maybe if you all think so?

I mean a section that features 'cheats and glitches' in games that are not based on a cheat device being used. Kinda like the 'old' button mashing codes for the NES Contra and almost ALL "konami' games after that, and other cheats kinda to make this site better and well, yes bigger, not all that big text is not that big, but the info it carries could be nice. (Also like that Game Cube Grenade Launcher glitch for Jill to get 255 grenades.) So 'alot' of systems could and would be covered.

Yes, I 'know' 'GameFaqs' sorta has this mess, but I must say from looking at GameFaqs abit recently, it has not got all that impressive 'cheats' as one would think, in fact I see ALOT of cheats not ever mentioned that maybe we could.

I mean well got one I have had for a long time, a Turbo Grafix 16 'code' thing, that is well yes old, and good think I had it on a old flobby, because I went looking for it again awhile abck on GameFaqs in fact and they never had it listed, so agin, yes GameFaqs is missing alot of mess that were all printed in 'older' game mags we could maybe house here, again if you all think so?

PACLand TG16 Hud Card:

Cheat mode:
Hold I + II and press Run, Run at the title screen to
display the options menu. Release the buttons, then
press Run to access the sound test menu. Press Run
again to display the title screen. Press Run to display
the level selection option in the format "Skip 1".
Use I or II to select a starting level, then press
Run to begin game play.

Expert mode:
Enable the "Cheat mode" code. Press Up ten times at
the level selection option.

Invincibility:
Enable the "Cheat mode" code. Press Down one hundred
times at the level selection option.

Hatless Pac-Man:
Reset the game at the end of round when Pac-Man's hat
jumps into the air next to the "Break Time" sign.
The hat will remain in the air during the next game.

I found that afetr looking for it awhile, so just posting that so far, a system with no cheat device, but has alot of 'other code' types, as I said, maybe a new area we may think about, the 'old' buttong mashing code types or such?

Oh yes also, after looking up a hex calculator, maybe this site, we can 'ripp' the calculator and add it somewhere on here so to make things 'easy'.

I mean, I 'think' the sorce and location of the calculator it can be ripped, so maybe another idea?

As is, I sorta had a few tries at it recently, trying to get max EXP codes for Chrono Trigger, was a small bit confussing and a mess, seeing as 9999999 converted to hex is 98967F (I believe it was) and the last four digits on a GSPro only allows four digits, so was abit of give and take 'testing' but seems to work as best as can be with 9896 digits. eh well, maybe something, that is unless we do not have one, and after doing this CT code mess and work, I do sorta now see a need for a calculator put around here somewhere, heck maybe several different kinds that calculate and 'format' and such codes that are decypted and such, I mean maybe for 'newer' code types.

On that I mean, yes well, cannot post codes that are cyrpted, but no one says you cannot post codes in raw forms and then post 'how' to allow you to get the working codes, so that may be needed in newer code devices and such.

I've been considering adding something of this sort to the site already. It wouldn't be very hard in fact... Of course what'll end up happening with that, is the codes section starts to merge into the reviews/code requests/whatever else related to games and systems there is... Which is what I wanted to do anyway...

There is already a hex/decimal calculator hiding the the FAQs section... But with it being in there, I doubt much of anybody knows it even exists.

Neat, well, as said, I would like that to happen, again kinda stepping into the 'game faqs' area, but again, as said, I do see and know of alot of 'cheats' and glitches' that are never even mentioned at Game Faqs like the very one I mentioned above for that TG16 PacLand game, plus we would not have all the 'gibble-gabble' all about like Game faqs does have about rumors and mess like that, like "See Tifa Nude in FF7 by hitting up 7999 time then hitting down once and then the cicle button, in that order and withing seven seconds, all that mess---err I made that up, but ALOT of Gamefaqs mess I have seen is rather BS at times, no not all of it, but some of it, we all have to admit.

As for the hex calculator, hehe well, yep you are right on that to, I went all searching for one and came up with that I posted because well, I never knew one was even here anywhere, yeah my own fault really, should have looked in every link, but I admit, I am lazy alot of times. :P

Heh...we should probably make a seperate section called "Tools" or something, and add the Hex Calc and numerical systems converter, and whatever else we can find...

Hey Amy...mind fixing the bottom part of your sig? It's stretching out all the pages you post in...
