If you're following me on X / Twitter (@memory_fallen) for my posts about reverse engineering retro games, check out RINGS OF SATURN, my Substack blog. Each week I take apart a different game and report my findings.
November 4th's article is on Krazy Ivan for Saturn and PlayStation.
Action Replay hackers have long known of a cheat menu in the PlayStation version of this game, but is there one in the Saturn version?
Answer: yes, and you can get at it with a cheat code. Also, there's a cheat code to enable the PlayStation version as well — I found it.
Details are in the Substack article.
You wouldn't cheat at Tigger's Honey Hunt for Nintendo 64 and PlayStation, would you?
You wouldn't go to the credits screen, enter a button code, start a new game, save it, and thereby unlock all of the levels, would you?
And you wouldn't go to the Substack article to find out details about how this all works. Would you?
October 30th's article is on The House of the Dead 2 for Dreamcast.
There's a demo disc for this game that was published after the release of the Japanese version, but before the release of the North American and European versions. It features an incomplete localization, including some very clunky translations of menu screens. It's also still got the Blood Color setting, which was removed in the international versions.
Get the patch and the details on how it works via the Substack post.
There are lots more reverse engineering articles in the archive. What games should I be looking at? Tell me, and I might add them to my list.
