_Fandal_ Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 OK. After some dissasembling, branstorming and many tries I found hidden invicibility mode in Planet Smashers (as Mitch asked me some time ago). And now how to do that step by step (tested in emulator and on real PAL HW as well): 1) insert very carefully your Planet Smashers cart into console 2) set left difficulty switch to the right position and right difficulty switch to the left position 3) hold Pause and power console on 4) just relax, listen to great title screen music and wait for toplist screen 5) wait for 4th best score to appear and then you must set left difficulty switch to the left position and right difficulty switch to the right position simultaneously 6) text "Planet Shmashers.... Programmed by: James V. Zalewski Datafast Computer Services 1989" should appear and hidden invicibility mode should be active. Many thanks to GroovyBee for some useful informations about switchable 7800 carts. Enjoy! F. P.S. Hey, we really need 7800 emulator with build-in monitor!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Got it to work on my CC2. Looks like you can try multiple times after the 4th score shows up. Now I can't wait for the next Planet Smashers High Score Contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Awesome! Thanks, Fandal! Just replicated on Cuttle Cart as well and played through the game with invincibility on and weapons maxed out fairly early on. Even still, the game is hard. Blasting everything I could (on EASY) and not caring whether I was hit, I still lost most of the earth's shield. Game wasn't any more interesting this time for me than I remembered it, though I wondered how I ever beat it before without the cheat code. Was still cool to see this guy again Edited July 9, 2010 by DracIsBack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 This is cool. I will have to give it a try this weekend on my 7800! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Nice going Fandal! I'll have to give this a try shortly. By the way, the MESS emulator has a basic debugger though I don't know if it would have helped for this. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
