The internet lies: cheat code edition

Bo, I noticed you contributed to the recent fan translation for Rabbit. Do you know how to unlock all the additional options in the regular (unpatched) version of the game? The project page for the fan translation says:

> In "Rabbit" there exists numerous unlockable options only accessible to players after beating the game one or more times (depending on the option). As part of this English translation patch, these supplemental options have been enabled by default.

I beat the game once and unlocked the "Zoom" option, then beat it two more times and didn't unlock anything else (every time was on the normal difficulty level without losing a round or using a continue). The fan translation has three more options (Animal Stock, Stock Count, and Damage); do you know how to unlock those?

 

This was one of the things I contributed, the extra options. It's 10 completions to unlock everything.

 

I did the Saturn Primal Rage codes (including guessing the cheat mode code which I'm more proud of than I should be!), other versions have credits you can view by holding certain directions for both players controller at the title screen. Might be worth a go on the Saturn as well.

 

The Horde's cheat codes are spelled out in the game code, but A and B have weird mappings.

• A button = O
• B button = T
• Up button = U
  
• Down button = D
  
• Left button = L
  
• Right button = R

The phrases are:

• trot
• turdodor
• lootlord
• trolldrool
• loudtoot
• dolldoor
• rollout
• oddrod

The usual cheat sites have descriptions (e.g.) that seem to be accurate.

For Saturn Primal Rage, here are the credits straight off the game disc:

I've been testing that P Rage cheat menu a bit

One Hit Kill P1 - means that P1 only needs 1 hit TO BE killed (learnt that one the hard way, I expected to be dishing out the 1 hit kill, not on the receiving end!)
One Hit Kill P2 - P2 only needs 1 hit TO BE killed
Quick FB - means you only need to win one match to achieve world domination and get to the final battle
Quick Comp - means you only need to beat one opponent in the final battle to finish the game (normally it's an endurance against every opponent one after the other but with extra health)

Still need to work out what's easy about easy fatalities.


The credits do not appear when you win the game, even on skill level 16.
They do appear eventually if you keep cycling through attract mode (thank goodness for turbo!)
Obviously they match the text Bo found in the binary.


The similar jag version has a title screen code for credits (P1 Left + P2 Right) but it doesn't work here.

EDIT - out of curiosity is there any interest in in-game credits screenshots? Looks to me like it's preferred that it be typed out and hyperlinked which I guess makes sense when wanting to see what projects a dev worked on.

 

Ah yes, I see Typhoon in particular has been going to town on that for a while now, I like the PDF format to represent multi page credits tidily.

Plain text for the win! :-D

 

More plain text - Formula Karts Special Edition recognizes these special names:

• OXFORD
• BLADON
• DUNSTEW
• CHIPPIE
• WOODSTOCK
• FARTYPANTS

The WOODSTOCK code definitely unlocks a new track (The Moon):


I can't tell what the other ones do. GameFAQS says that CHIPPIE unlocks "Super Kart," but what is that? There are only 8 kart models from what I can see.

The code looks like maybe the others are meant to work together somehow, but I have no idea how to get to those paths.

 

I found the moon track on the PC version (as well as a bunch of other command line args). Unfortunately, the commands don't seem to line up with these codes at all. Another possibility is that they are functional on the PSX version but weren't ported over properly.

Another Sega PC thread | Page 4 | Sonic and Sega Retro Forums (sonicretro.org)

 

The codes on this page are correct for Kururin Pa!.

To play as the king: enter X, B, Y, A at the title screen. Then hold up while selecting Michel.

To see the endings: hold X+B+Z as the game starts up.

 

It's been known for quite a while that you can unlock extra menus by putting the following in SONICCD.INI:

Code (Text):

1.  
2. [Secret]
3. User=Debugger

I've been poking at the .EXE and see that there are two other names: Fujiwara and Satoh. It's unclear to me what they unlock because I can't run the game on this PC. All I can see is what values they modify:

Debugger:
debugflag1 = 1
debugflag2 = 0
debugflag3 = 2

Fujiwara:
debugflag3 = 1

Satoh:
debugflag1 = 1
debugflag2 = 0
debugflag3 = 128

 

They also unlock the same debug menu (I think, its been a while!) But I'm not aware of anyone going deeper and working out any subtle difference

EDIT - ok, had a quick look running in PCEm. Satoh enables the STAGE and FUNC menus but Fujiwara does not. Which would suggest debugflag1 = 1 enables those particular features. Interesting. I wonder if the other flags do anything in the retail release.

 

Here's a heretofore unknown code for Assault Suit Leynos 2:

• At the title screen, using controller 2, hold L+X+Z+Right and press C. You’ll hear a click.
• After that, switch to controller 1. Hold L+R and press Start.
• At the data select screen, use controller 2 to hold L+A+B+C and then use controller 1 to press Start. You’ll hear another click.

Before the mission starts, you'll get the equip screen (which normally doesn't show for the first mission). You'll have access to all the mechs right off the bat.

I wrote up the technical details here.

 

Cyber Doll has a very nice debug menu that's known to the Japanese Internet: hold X+Y+Z while the game is starting up to launch it.
