McKong Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 On the broken version of Super Pac-Man it's not possible to complete some screens cos some of the gates don't disappear when you collect the keys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'm not sure if I have the right version of Montezuma Again. I downloaded the version from the link above and it has unlimited lives. Is there a way to turn that off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Super Pacman 46,480 Added some hints and a bonus challenge to the first post. Found my summary from last time we played at the start of season 14: >>> S.P. is a pretty good game but it seemed to tail off slightly when the pills become less effective, most of the intensity is early on and most of my deaths were being too aggressive - perfect for a 2 week HSC round though and it's good to start the season with a game everyone at least knows what to do more or less :) <<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Because of the high level of difficulty, I set the total lives to 200, so that you can explore as much as you can. https://montemaker.blogspot.com/ By using the cheat function + debugger in Altirra, I deduced that the lives counter is located in $0088. It is set to $C8 = 200 to start with, so the key is to find where in the code this value is set and change it. However I noticed that even after losing all lives, upon restart the game starts on the last screen you reached, not from the beginning so no matter if we'd play for high score or most screens cleared, it would be unsuitable for HSC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Thanks carlsson, but I think you can press Start to replay from the entrance screen? I was so going to put Block on Legs along with Super Pacman as they both change size, but as we've opened this can of worms I've asked the author for a less lives version and found another tune perhaps? Also here's the interesting blog for the project https://montemaker.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) True. One way to play this in Altirra is to do the following: Menu option "Cheat" -> "Cheater" (Alt + Shift + H) Add cheat: Address $0088, value $06 (8-bit) + OK Now the number of lives will be fixed at 5 (6-1), no count down. Go back to the cheater, and simply disable the checkbox for the cheat. Now the game will play as usual, but count down from 5 instead of 200. When you restart the game, you need to go to the cheater and enable the cheat again, and then disable it for it to have effect.

carlsson Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Bingo! By using the hexl-mode in Emacs, I found the following: $6B10: A9 C8 85 88 Now let's try to change that C8 into a lower value... Check if this version plays OK. Montezuma Again!-5lives.xex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
