After 18 Years, The Debug Code Has Been Found!
I always knew it was there, but until just very recently, I never knew how to do it.
The game is Simcity for Super Nintendo. You might remember I had a blog entry on this game before. Since it was released in 1991, I found myself hooked on this game, it is simple yet extremely complex at the same time. I have been doing searches online since I had the internet, looking for the elusive debug code for this game. Nothing ever surfaced.
But now, it has finally been revealed. If anyone is interested, here is the code:
Debug Menu:
Load or start a new city, then choose END from the Save/Load menu. When the "See you soon!" screen appears, press the following on controller 2: Left, A, Right, Y, Up, B, Down, X, Select, Start, Start, Select, R, R, L, L. Press Up or Down to scroll through the options, and press Left or Right to toggle them on or off. To activate the selected features, change MEMORY to SET and reset the SNES (they will remain active even if you power off). To deactivate everything, go back into the menu, change MEMORY to CLR, and press B.
The code enables things that were never before thought possible. Why it took 18 years for it to surface just baffles me. I have several video gaming sites bookmarked, none of them ever had it. I am guessing that the person who contributed the code must have been a game developer, no one else could have possibly known the code. I am now tinkering around with it on my SNES console, I should have some pics soon of the ultimate city, with a record population mark.
