Smurfs Save The Day without Kid Vid


Thomas Jentzsch

Recommended Posts

While disassemling the game, I found that you can start it without the Kid Vid by using the following sequence:

 

1. enable Color mode

2. move left joystick down

3. switch to B/W mode

4. press select and hold it

5. move left joystick up

 

Did you know that already or did I discover a new Easter Egg?

well, you may have found out something new but... I remember when I first recieved this game I tried to test it and got nothing on the screen. Then I went nuts trying to flip the switch on my 2600 until it did finally, a couple times, show some graphics but it still wasn't playable. Is it playable when you do this sequence???

Can't get it to work on Emulator?

 

Do I soemthing wrong?

 

I use Stella X and press the following.

F3 Color Mode,

L or Cursor Down

F4 B7W mode

F1 Select

O or Cursor Up

 

I have try with both Joysticks, but nothing work?

 

On Z26 I have try it too with these keys:

F4, down or D, F3, F2, Up or E.

 

But work too not.

 

Or will this only work on the real game?

Forget to hold select, must try it again. Have read it wrong sorry.

 

Yes, it work fine on Stella X. Thank you very much. I try now Bearenstein Bears too, maybe this work too.

 

 

No work not by the other game, maybe there is an other code to get it to work?

 

And are there other codes to play the other games by Smurfs Save the Day?

That's new to me! The manual doesn't mention that (even says the TV type switch isn't used...). It does say there are 2 different modes for each game, "game" and "toy". "Game mode" is for playing with the Vid Kid, and "Toy mode" is for playing w/o it- which doesn't make sense if you have to have the Vid Kid hooked up anyway!

 

Perhaps there's other combinations that unlock the other 2 games?

Yes, I've read that too. Liars!

No, the "unlock" combination is fixed.

 

Selecting the other games is perhaps only possible when emulating the keypad controller. But there, I don't know what keys to press instead of cursor up and down.

 

BTW: There is not cheat like that in Berenstain Bears, sorry.

@ Tempest,

yes, there was a site, but this is now down. Don't know if this will work again later. For some days it has work great.

Kid Vid and Cable

 

I have upload the pictures on my site, because this site work in the moment not. The pictures are not from me, I have download them in the past from this site. I have only upload them on an other site.

 

REAL KID VID CABLE

SELFMADE KID VID CABLE

PLUG IN from the KID VID

and the schematic:

I hope that will help you Tempest.

 

 

@ Thomas Jentzsch,

I think the Keypad Controller is emulated. I think by the Stella X it will work with the Number keys on the right.

Yes, you can make the other two games work too. Use the difficulty switches (again, the manual says there are not used ) before you enter the unlocking sequence.

 

Greedy Smurf: both switches on Amateur (B)

Harmony Smurf: left switch on Pro (A)

Handy Smurf: right switch on Pro (A)

 

BTW: Both switches on Pro (A) allows resetting the game.

Or is then someting diffrent abou the gameplay?


Don't know exactly, because I don't own the game.

 

But, according to the manual, each game has two modes. One works with and the other without the Vid Kid. Switching between the modes is done with SELECT.

BTW: Can somebody please explain, how to play Berenstain Bears?

 

There is a scenario where a bear(?) on a unicycle has to catch some numbers falling form tress. But I don't now what else you have to do there.

 

Is the manual somewhere available?
