Naw, I include famicom titles (that weren't released here) as well, so I've got a lot more ground to cover. I'm into the 400's now though, so slowly but surely...

How long did that take??? 1 hour ago, Dr. Morbis said: I was wondering the same thing. Once I saw point scumming was legal, I was like, "aw man, how much can I take?" I got about a quarter of the way to max score after about an hour maybe and that's where I found my personal answer. Looks like BlackVega is going to have a healthy point lead after Round 1... I wasn't aware there was an 'infinite' point pressing strat on Toxic Crusaders, I thought the point pressing rule was about milking extra points throughout the stage 5 run. Well, what's done is done I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,024 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of playing either of these games so I waited until today. I kind of suck at Boulder Dash and Toxic Crusaders is too mind numbing to play for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to enter the code for Commando without a second controller? I don't own this game and the best way for me to play is on my Analog Pocket.

Thanks, then just to be fully clear and covered, can I use this utility to patch the ROM? https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1054/ There's no Game Genie interface on the NES cores, but I can patch a GG code into a game with that application.

Of course you can. Also, I just found out that the most that you can go on the NES version is stage 4-4, so I will provide a code to start at 4-1.

BeaIank | 1,621 Events Team · Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 So, I found the address that is set when the cheatcode is inputted, so now I am looking to find the code that checks for that cheatcode in rom so I can change it to only be up in the P1 pad and generate a gamegenie code for that. I will have updates through the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, what's done is done I guess! I have nothing against point-scumming if there's some sort of risk/reward component attached to it. So, using Toxic Crusaders as an example, if I had been making the rules, it would have been progress first, then points as the tie-breaker; that way you still need to have the skillz to perform when it matters and get through the level carrying your 99,900 points after all those hours of point scumming, or it's all for naught. I was able to beat the level with all my points intact, others were not... just saying... Edited November 21, 2023 by Dr. Morbis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
