Sweet, you actually got level codes to work? I've tried messing with this thing but never got it to work. I'll try these later.

[Stan]

How to the parameters change the number of lives? Just curious so everyone else can know before trying them out.

[Phil]

The live parameter: You get infinite lives which ever number you put in beween 00-03, it just displays that particuar number when you restart the level after losing a life.

Update on the level codes:

00D23017 Displays the ending.

The level codes aren't perfect. Which ever code you put in, you start on the 1st level. You have the enemy sprites from the level you selected to start on but have the background for the 1st stage!

Get yourself killed and when the game restarts you will be on the chosen level and eveything will be fine. The only thing is when the level is completed turn off the PAR. If you don't, you'll start the next level but after to battle the enemies from the last level!
The game doesn't work properly if you turn the PAR back on the next level either.

This means if you want to start the game halfway through, you'll only be able to do so and give yourself infinite lives for that one level. Turn it off and then you'll have to play with your standard 3 lives as normal through the other levels.

The best thing is to just have infinite lives and play the game from the start. The level code are best used just to practise a particular level.
