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
$73C7
(stores #$0001 to 7E1A2E after entry)
right 0000 << 1 = 0000
0000 + 1 = 0001
right 0001 << 1 = 0002
0002 + 1 = 0003
right 0003 << 1 = 0006
0006 + 1 = 0007
left 0007 << 1 = 000E
left 000E << 1 = 001C
right 001C << 1 = 0038
0038 + 1 = 0039
right 0039 << 1 = 0072
0072 + 1 = 0073
right 0073 << 1 = 00E6
00E6 + 1 = 00E7
right 00E7 << 1 = 01CE
01CE + 1 = 01CF
left 01CF << 1 = 039E
left 039E << 1 = 073C
left 073C << 1 = 0E78
right 0E78 << 1 = 1CF0
1CF0 + 1 = 1CF1
right 1CF1 << 1 = 39E2
39E2 + 1 = 39E3
right 39E3 << 1 = 73C6
73C6 + 1 = 73C7
