Request for Sim Ant

[TheCollectiveMind]

I know this is going to sound kinda dumb... Maybe you all have never heard of it... Its a game called "Sim Ant" and it was made for SNES a while back...

I can not find ONE single code for this game, and I was wondering if you guys wanted to find some or if you had any floating around... I have been looking for a few weeks now, and someone reccomended I come here.

A simple code like: "Yellow ant never loses a fight" would be simply awsome... anyone know of any codes? Much appriciated!

EDIT:

And now that I dug deeper anybody have codes for "Out of this world?"

These will work for either version of the game:

Yellow Ant Always Wins(Could make all black ants win, but I can't easily determine that):
DDA7-6402

Keep Maximum Energy(This resets your life to maximum whenever you would normally lose health from hunger):
DD88-0D0A

[TheCollectiveMind]

Thank you very much! Where did you get those! Did you make em? How do you find cheats in a game? LoL I have always wanted to learn!

[TheCollectiveMind]

Please note that the feature that makes the yellow ant win does not apply to all of the black ants. These codes work excellent.

I made these codes using Geiger's SNES9X Debugger. Despite indications to the contrary that will appear on another site later on, I did, in fact, make these codes.

The process of learning how to make Game Genie codes quickly begins with learning 6502 assembly to a point roughly equivalent to the level achieved when you learn how to drive. Not quite that straight-forward though, as you could also dive into the debugger, and just hack any random code from start to finish, looking up instructions as you find them and need to understand the info. If you actually intend to try, don't neglect memory breakpoints, or assembly logging features.

Additionally, you'll need to learn the easy type of hacking(easy being a relative term), which is just finding PAR codes with a cheat searcher, or through Save-State hacking. I jumped into assembly hacking with a few years of working with the results of 6502 driven RAM values, so I had a base of knowledge to begin with.

It's a simple matter if you're experienced and have the right tools, and it looks really hard if you dive into a shark tank of ASLs, LSRs, BEQs, BRLs, LDAs, JSRs, and RTSs. Not to put you off, but it requires that you be fairly determined to succeed in general, and I've also noticed that if you really, Really want certain game genie codes, you're more likely to succeed when hacking future codes whether you manage to make the codes or not. I made several attempts to quit hacking, all of which failed due to a few early successes. Thankfully, the only challenges you have to face while hacking are the ones you feel like facing, and they aren't likely to be unavailable for you to challenge.

You lost me at learning... Thats how n00b to code I am. But I will take your advice and try to build upon that... Thanks for your help, and maybe one day I can help someone else who needs a code! pE@ce

I like hacking myself also. It becomes a bit of an addiction once you get the hang of it. That used to be my main thing but I'm pretty busy updating the site so I can't do it much right now. But I hope to have all that out of the way some day so I can jump back into it sometime. I think later I will try to add some faq's to the site that cover retro hacking.

[TheCollectiveMind]

Hell yea, a FAQ would be sweet as hell!

I tried the "jumping right in" way awhile back when Geiger's SNES9X Debugger first showed up, but I couldn't managed to do much from lack of reasonable documentation of the opcodes. Of course it didn't help much that I'm more used to R3000 assembly rather than 6502...

Still even after looking into this a bit, I have no clue whats going on... This is going to take quite some time.
