Super Probotector

[silver-]

Hello.

I was wondering if there is anyone here who knows the 30 lives cheat code for super probotector

Nope. Nobody. If Konami programmed a Code of some sort, it's a mystery for the ages.

GameFAQs claims you can get 30 lives by doing a Hadouken motion and pressing Start on the title.
I cannot verify it.
There's evidence in the Japanese ROM Konami at least planned a 30 lives code. But I can't find evidence it is still working.
Here's what I know:
00:808A is the ASM to set default lives (3) (set $1E3C to 3).
00:B2BA is ASM to set lives to 30. (00:B2B3 looks like the start of the routine). But I don't see any references (at least absolute).
00:BA12 (ROM $3A12): routine checks RAM $1E3C, sets $1C04 as index to lives setting (0, 1, 2) if it finds $1E3C = 3, 5, or 7. Else sets $1C04 = 3.
00:BA06 (ROM $3A06): reads index $1C04 to set lives (3, 5, 7, 30), using table at $05:8892 (ROM $28892).

Code: Select all

Can't find reference to 00:B11D. Didn't bother checking what $1C0C, $1C0E are.
80/B11D:	2069B2  	JSR $B269
80/B120:	B01B    	BCS $B13D

80/B269:	AD0E1C  	LDA $1C0E
80/B26C:	D008    	BNE $B276

80/B276:	CE0E1C  	DEC $1C0E
80/B279:	AC0C1C  	LDY $1C0C
80/B27C:	C00600  	CPY #$0006
80/B27F:	B027    	BCS $B2A8

80/B2A8:	A528    	LDA $28
80/B2AA:	052A    	ORA $2A
80/B2AC:	890010  	BIT #$1000
80/B2AF:	D002    	BNE $B2B3	;set lives to 30
80/B2B1:	18      	CLC 
80/B2B2:	60      	RTS 

Only controller references I found were:
00:8B26 - reads all 4 ports. Stores buttons held at RAM $20-27, buttons pressed at $28-2F.
Then, it immediately checks if Select is pushed, and if it is, checks if L+R+Select+Start is pushed (quick reset, I guess).
00:B169 - checks if Start is not pushed, or Up/Down is pushed.
00:B184 - checks if Select+Down is pushed (moves cursor two choices at once).
No visible accessible check for Left/Right in the code (lowest bit of $4219), nor any other lettered buttons.

This rules out GameFAQs sound test code (hadouken then X) and Stage select.

hi guys

The thing is i had this cheat code ~10 years ago, so it does really exist..
me, my brothers and all our friends knew it and used it all the time, but now it's forgotten...there has to be someone out there who knows it

edit: i dont understand any of what u said in your post KingMike haha

he looked through the game code and found that your 30-lives code doesn't seem to exist.

maybe you're remembering the 30-lives code that was in NES Contra/Probotector..?

What he's saying is that while yes, there is code, but you would probably have had to add quite a bit of code to get it to work.

Blame yourself for not writing it down/copy+paste it somewhere.

No, it wasnt probotector for nes (i havent even played that game).

well like i said it was a long time ago i must have been like 6 years old or smth so how would i be thinking of copying it
too bad none of my brothers did it though..

I considered it. I actually said mystery for the ages because I felt I was TOO cheesy.

I find it amusing that the first result is this very page.

ahhhh i cant help it, this is driving me crazy everyday..
isnt there anything else you guys can check? :/

cant we contact the designers of the game or something? :>

(sorry for reviving old thread =D)

Kingmike checked back then, dood. You could have spent that >1 year delay learning asm so you could understand his post, you know.

I truly suspect that there is no Konami-created "code" in the final game, and any reports to the contrary are mere myth. The fact that you've been searching for a year and haven't found evidence of any sort of Code by Konami indicates as much. Surely if Konami HAD included a Code, you would've discovered it by now, so there must not be any sort of Konami Code.

well, whether it's a konami code or not, it does truly exist. i will check with my brother today and tell him to ask around his friends and see if anyone remembers.

and about kingmike's post, was that the japanese rom he checked?

Bored now...

It's not A Konami code, it's THE Konami Code. Up up down down left right left right B A Start.

Sheesh.

thou shalt not flay the clueless one..?

[grinvader]

Sheesh.

Start merely starts (or un-pauses) the game, not part of the code.
