I think I may be on to something!

Today, a very interesting thought came to mind: If Stop N' Swopping would cause events and changes in BK and BT, maybe there's adresses and values, that, when pieced together to make a GS code, would trigger the what happens after you've swapped games?

[thetwinkyuho]

sounds reasonable...
yet complicated

Welcome to the year 2001.

[Macsbuddy]

That's a good thought! I don't know if it would be between BK and BT or BK and DK64, but that sounds like it could work. Hmm...a stop and swap theory that doesn't involve stopping or swapping...interesting...

GS codes change variables in the game. So you cant really mix variables to produce something. For example

Apple = 1
Orange = 0

So in your theory, we could mix these variables, making something like

Apprange = 01

Unfortunately, this is impossible. Sorry.

Actually you can also assign ASM commands (i.e. programming) to gameshark codes, which opens a wide number of possibilities.

But I don't think that would work, because Rare completely removed the coding of SnS from Tooie.

[Zkoopa]

Oh. And what exactly was with the 2001 comment? What happened then?

[Banjomatic]

Probably nothing, maybe this idea has been suggested in that year.

[Zkoopa]

I was just wondering, since it may be a seperate map. IF it exists. The possibility is somewhat higher than you think (About 0.01 higher though.), since my freind found image values for BK that aren't on the RWP's list. He found some warp values, too.

There'll be a lot of junk data in the ROM that the programmers forgot to delete from BETA versions of the game though. Redundant textures, scrapped models and sprites, old strings of text...you'll have a lot of data to sift through. It's entirely likely that the SnS data is still in the cart's ROM data though. Especially for the first shipment of carts. It should be in there if you can get your hands on a really early release build.

[Zkoopa]

But I use a ROM.

[Tee-Hee]

Hm. Well the ROMs that are distributed on the internet are often generally the first build anyway, you can check the ROM data to see what version you've got.
