Proto:Croc 2 (Windows, PlayStation)/PC Demo
This is a sub-page of Proto:Croc 2 (Windows, PlayStation).
A Demo was included in the PC version of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. It is very similar to the PlayStation Magazine Demo, though features an extra level.

Cheats
The demo version uses the same bits in the global int32 variable that stores active cheats as the full version. However, in the demo version the function that evaluates cheat key sequences is not present, so there is no way to toggle cheats without directly modifying this variable. It is located at 0x4B6964. Cheat code bit values are as follows:
| Value | Cheat |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cheat Menu |
| 2 | Position Bar |
| 4 | Infinite Lives |
| 8 | Extra Heartpots |
| 0x10 | Add 100 Crystals |
| 0x20 | Music Select |
| 0x40 | Credits Cheat |
| 0x80 | Magazine Cheat |
Note that the credits cheat cannot be used since the code responsible for showing the credits screen is contained in the cheat key handler function, which is missing in the demo version.
The cheat menu is different from the one in the full game: in the full version its entries are Select Hub and Inventory Edit, while the entries in the demo version are Select Level, Inventory Edit and Set/Unset Level Complete.
In the full game, Magazine Cheat is the only cheat that cannot be enabled without modifying the cheat variable and is handled exactly like Cheat Menu. In the demo version, it removes the Intro choice from the level type selection in the Select Level menu, which means only Normal, Boss and Secret can be selected when Magazine Cheat is enabled.
