RAM, yes. ROM, no, as far as I know.

RAM is short for "Random Access Memory." The system stores information in offsets/addresses in the RAM during the game's execution, such as how many lives you have, what music track in the playlist is playing, what area you're in, etc. In short, it can store almost anything, and some systems even set aside sections of RAM for specific uses, such as the Genesis' using 128 offsets fairly high in the RAM to store the color palettes currently in use (some people refer to it as "CRAM," or "color RAM").

A Gameshark, Action Replay, or similar cheat device can be used to modify RAM by changing values through codes.

This explanation may have slight technical inaccuracies, but if anyone wants to add to/correct it, I can't very well stop you.

EDIT: Kario, there was never a code to activate Perfect Head. There IS a code to let you view the menus, but that's it.

As far as I know, the only thing released so far for Perfect Dark, is the face mapper utility. The same thing could be done with GoldenEye.. but as for more hacking, I believe there's none...

What a coincedence. I was woundering earlier today if someone would ever hack it. I was going to check if I could find any text, but I couldn't find the ROM.

I have found the rom, but I need 30 points to download it...dont ask.

Anyway, thanks for the info. I remember that perfect head cheat, its only menus that dont work seeing as they removed it because of that scholl shooting in the stastes (columbine or something like that). They removed it because they thought people would import faces of people they dont like, then shoot them.

I think it would be awesome to hack out all the multiplayer levels (ALOT of work) and then just make one gigantic level with sniper spots and bases. Then hack the RCP-120 to make it zoom like the farsight and make it have a mag of 2000 and a clip of 200!! That would be awesome (BTW I have done that with GS)

So I will keep looking for the game thanks.

Oh, btw I have a drawing of a multiplayer level I would love to have:

PD Multi Base

The top left is the level overview. The right is the second level. The two bottom ones are the same, they are the upper level without the other stuff around it.

The Blue circles are ladders.
The Black squares are those skedar pillars.
The red lines on the wall are doors (3 pixel is regular Area 52 doors, 1 pixel is hidden doors).
The green lines are glass windows.
The light blue passages are crawl spaces from area 52.
The yellow lines are the big blue hexagon area 52 doors.
The orange squares are area 52 guard towers.
The gray blocks are unaccesable area.
And finally the pink lines are rails from the 'pipes' level.

So what do you think? btw, the picture isn't to size.

Keep dreaming about editing levels, boy. Just like i do.
About editing weapons, check GameFAQs, there is a tutorial about editing everything in weapons (mag size, function, zoom, etc).
I just read that you already know about that.

Hmm, that sounds kind of stupid to me. If anything, it would seem that being able to shoot those that you don't like would be sort of cathartic. Lots of people use the Sims games to simulate horrible stuff happening to their bosses, coworkers, and the like.

Nintendo has a notoriously weird sense of cencorship, which applies to anything that's put on one of their counsols.

Anyway, the face thing is pretty cool. What's the format they're stored in like?
