Game Options codes
Instead of having a stored pattern of controller button presses to compare against, this game uses specific 16-bit values, much like Alien Storm for the Genesis.
When pressing d-pad right or left on the Game Options menu following the title screen, a rotate left operation is performed on memory address 7E0013. If pressing right, the value is also incremented by one. These are the same operations used in Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball, another game by Sculptured Software.
By pressing the right combination so that the final total is $CAF2 or $73C7, the cheats are unlocked.
Here is a detailed look at both sequences:
20 second halves
$CAF2
(stores #$0002 to 7E1A2E after entry)
right 0000 << 1 = 0000 0000 + 1 = 0001 right 0001 << 1 = 0002 0002 + 1 = 0003 left 0003 << 1 = 0006 left 0006 << 1 = 000C right 000C << 1 = 0018 0018 + 1 = 0019 left 0019 << 1 = 0032 right 0032 << 1 = 0064 0064 + 1 = 0065 left 0065 << 1 = 00CA right 00CA << 1 = 0194 0194 + 1 = 0195 right 0195 << 1 = 032A 032A + 1 = 032B right 032B << 1 = 0656 0656 + 1 = 0657 right 0657 << 1 = 0CAE 0CAE + 1 = 0CAF left 0CAF << 1 = 195E left 195E << 1 = 32BC right 32BC << 1 = 6578 6578 + 1 = 6579 left 6579 << 1 = CAF2
Instant win/lose
