I figured since I seem to have a lot of codes I tend to request from other people, perhaps it'd be nice if other people could get in on the action if they wanted to request, and if people who are much better hackers than I can find out the codes, either by hacking it themselves or posting them up from somewhere you found on the web. If this isn't a cool enough thread, please torture me with instruments of torture. :( Anyway, I'll start off by requesting: 1.) A code for Super Metroid to control the jumping gravity. 2.) A level modifier code for Where's Waldo. (I wanna just play the Subway level over and over :p) --- I'll also do what I can with my limited ROM cheat hacking ability to try and make codes as well, so I'm not completely useless!

for number 2, why not just use a savestate?

Because I don't feel like hitting the quickload button every time, and to avoid the possibility of getting the same maze (I wanna do this for the Subway level) every time I play it, because that's not fun. Edit: Confirmed; Savestates just give the same maze over and over again, that I've been able to do anyway.

so the maze is supposed to be random? have you tried getting an earlier savestate to see where the last relevant bit of entropy is collected?

Yeah it is. I tried one using the level prior and didn't get any results. I'm pretty sure that a hack would change the level layout anyway, Hence, why I asked.
