8778\t69 - some weird moon-walking stuff, enjoy!


Perhaps someone can help me out with this......

I took the code 6-digit code, ATIEAY, "Walk Faster Left To Right Only "

......then used the nifty process of converting it into an 8-digit code (thanks to Tony Hedstrom's nifty document, Convert nes codes 6-digit to 8 document)

The result was:

ATSEANNY
8758 60 (was FF)

Long story short, anytime I try to make this code permanent by changing the hex value, it freezes up the game, glitches or nothing happens.
:banghead: Can someone take a look and see what I'm doing wrong in the "make this code permanent" process? It works just fine as a code in itself...
Thanks a trillion.

Also, if someone can help me figure out the "Walk Faster Right To Left" code, I would appreciate it.

I somehow lost 99% of my project folders and notes a few months back, but I still have a small text file of some of my preliminary CV2 work. It's pretty minimal compared to what I *did* have, but could be useful as the start for several things...

Note: I tend to denote RAM with a $ at the beginning and ROM addresses without the hex denotation.

Code:

Music


1EB1: Beginning of Game Start song.

BX is kick bass, AX is snare drum.

Tempo > Instrument > ? > ? > ? > ?

Note, Tempo,Octave and repeats are the same as CV1.

FE is repeat. Next values is how many times.

FEFF followed by a two byte pointer is "Repeat Forever", End of Track.
