toptenmaterial Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Benny on speed dial! Thanks. I remember doing it before the title screen was done scrolling. Defective controller? I tried two different controllers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 not sure about that one. It worked for me the last time I tried it...somewhere around 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Larson Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 That's the code alright, but often times it takes me several tries to get it right. I think you do have to finish the code before the opening title screen finishes scrolling too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Finally got it right, I think it's an issue of percise timing. And about 45 lives later, I beat the game.
