n0dow Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Could someone do an unlimited lives hack for the game Go Fish? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwane413 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) I tried to make you one (NTSC), but it didn't turn out perfect. In bank 0, I changed part of the end routine for a 1 player game as follows. F722: LDX #$04 F724: JSR $FFF2 F727: JMP $F03A Doing this makes it so when you hit a bigger fish, you return to the bottom like in a 2 player game. It looks good in Stella, but not when I played it on an Atari using my Harmony cartridge. My changes messed up the timing and the screen jumps whenever you die. I don't know enough about Atari programming to fix it. In bank 1, I changed the part that adds a point to your opponents score when you hit a big fish. F34A: ADC #$00 ; This was ADC #$10 and added 1 point for player 1. F368: NOP ; This was INC $84 and added 1 point for player 2. F369: NOP ; This change reduced the cycle count from 5 to 4. Maybe this will work for you until someone with more knowledge can make a hack with correct timing. NOTE: I uploaded the wrong file.... Working on changing it.

dwane413 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I can't figure out how to delete the old file, but here is the corrected one. GoFish_Unlimited_Lives_NTSC_has_timing_problems.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Why would you want unlimited lives on Go Fish? It is one of the best homebrews. How many fun video games are relaxing? One life is more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0dow Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks dwane413. Works good on my Harmony cart. Only problem is at high volumes there is a background tone but its barely noticeable at a normal volume. I don't see the timing issue. Great for practice at the higher levels.

dwane413 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Glad you like my hack. I made a video where you can see that the screen rolls whenever you die. At least it does for me. GoFish Unlimited Lives Hack video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
