Hi. I've been trying to find a cheat to have the stage passed immediately in Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (U) for SNES, well, that is trying to make the next stage introductory text being shown (where the dark queen appears)

The I've been messing with the filters to find some adresses which may be used to indicate if that screen is being shown.

Having that, I've set a breakpoint to a suspectul address. I set it in write mode so it halts in the instruction which writes to that address. But the emulator just doesn't halt despite the value changes from 0 to 1 when the screen appears!

The address is 7E0835

I used a save state to reach the part just before the stage introductory screen appears. I don't know if this affects when the emulator tries to snap in the address (the one where the write code is executed).

If anyone has an idea why this doen't work and how can it be solved, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is your problem or not, but 1.51.ep10r1 had a glitch where certain read and write breakpoints would trigger from read being checked, or read breakpoints from write being checked. 1.51.ep10r2 was released within a day because of this glitch.

Although certain changes to the game's flow will reset the breakpoints (resetting, for example. It seems inconsistent when loading a state does that (or I don't pay enough attention). Note that this does not change the checkbox status, but the breakpoints will be cleared. Normal gameplay will not reset them, so make sure your state save is early enough that you can reopen the breakpoints menu for a second.

Thanks for your response, but please check the date of the last post. This thread is over a year old.

Whoops, sorry. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
