Luc Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hello, Does anyone know how to get infinite lives and/or time in Kangaroo using the built-in cheat options in Atari800Win Plus 4.0? After searching this forum, I found a link to a site which had an a8t cheat file, but unfortunately it's pretty useless because it completely messes up the graphics and removes the fruit. Anyone have a better a8t file? Even only infinite lives would be great. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 In the same boat as you!! Well, I decided to have a go at it myself and use the monitor to hunt down the cheat locations and I'm glad to say it wasn't so difficult after all. So here's what to do: - Start the game - Press F8 to get into the monitor - Type "f ad6d ad6e ea" (without the quotes) to get infinite lives - Type "f ad47 ad47 00" (without the quotes) to get infinite time - Type "cont" to get back to emulation - Now save the game using "Save State" in the File menu and you have a trained version of Kangaroo :-) You can also use the Disable Collisions option in the Misc menu to walk right through the apples that are being thrown at you. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Better yet, here's an already trained version. I simply changed the necessary bytes in the rom file itself. Tested and works great! :-) Kangaroo+.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm sorry, I accidentally posted the wrong file! This is the correct one: Kangaroo+.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Here's a few screenshots of Kangaroo you very rarely (if ever) get to see when playing a normal game with limited time. There's simply not enough time to collect all the fruits without losing one or more lives. So here's how it looks when you have infinite lives/time: Edited December 8, 2011 by Luc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Does this version work on the XL? I think the original version had a bug where it wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Does this version work on the XL? I think the original version had a bug where it wouldn't. Yes, I have played it on Atari800WinPlus 4.0 in XL/XE mode without any trouble. That's where I got the screenshots from. @Oky2000: You're very welcome. I really wanted a trained version to be able to collect all the fruits in every round. That's just not possible with a normal game, especially on the advanced levels.

Luc Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 One last thing: when you select "Disable collisions" in the Misc menu in Atari800WinPlus and let the game run in attract mode, Kangaroo will punch away all the platform bearing monkeys on the third screen and then start punching baby Kangaroo incessantly. Just thought this was funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
