Manic Miner (Spectrum) Cheat Versions

About This File

These are simply pre-built cheat versions of the Spectrum releases of Manic Miner. For original releases please see here

 

The download offers not one but two choices of cheating and these are additionally available in both the more common Bug Byte version as well as the Software Projects version too. The game loading Basic has been preserved to as near original as possible but the code block itself is compressed to reduce loading time.

 

In summary the cheat choices are:

 

1. Infinite lives, fall any height and infinite air
2. Infinite lives, fall any height, infinite air, harmless guardians and harmless fire cells (full immunity in effect)

 

As indicated above both of these variants are available in BB and SP formats, making a total choice of four tape files which are clearly marked as to which is which.

 

Regarding the loader and code compression:

 

I purposely ensured that the decompresser code returns to Basic after running rather than executing the game code immediately. This makes it very easy to alter or save the game code if required for further editing or suchlike.

 

To do this simply "STOP" the Basic at line 20 for the Software Projects version and line 40 for the Bug Byte version. At this stage you can then "SAVE" the game code as usual 32768,32768 for loading into an editor or whatever you wish.

 

Note that the call to 33280 is calling the decompression code, so if you are adding any pokes to the loader itself, do not add them before this has ran, simply add your pokes in the usual place ie: just before the USR 33792 statement.

 

Enjoy.
