Super Contra 7 for NES/Famcom Cheat Codes. Do They Exist??

[Blllunttman]

Has anyone played this game before? Its for the NES/Famcom System. It seems like a pretty cool game. Does anyone know if there are any codes for more lives? It only gives you 5 lives at a time. I remember for the original superC and the regular contra that there were codes for more lives. Does anyone know how to find codes for a game like this? It isnt a game that was sold in stores and I have tried searching all over the internet to find codes but havent had any luck. If anyone knows any information about this game as far as codes go please let me know. Thanks.

most emulators have an advanced cheat finder where you can make your own cheats (like a sophisticated game genie/par) takes a little practice but infinate lives codes are pretty easy to make. although if you're playing with an actual famicom cart of it thats a bit more dificult, as the gg or par don't work well with famicom carts. if you can make a code on the emu you can transfer it to gg or par format and use that.

It's a really crappy pirate original. Well, not crappy, just insanely hard.

Ya its not a port of super nintendo. That one is super contra 3. This one is a based off of the original SuperC for regular NES. Its really hard you only get 5 lives at a time thats why I was wondering if there was a code for it. I had a guy transfer it from a rom to a cart for my nes so I could play it. Is there any way to find codes that are in the game itself so I wouldnt need a game genie?

There's a ton of Contra pirates; most are multi-carts but some have original content (I use that term loosely). We're working on getting information about them onto the web @ the Contra HQ (don't look yet, though).

Is there a way to see if there are any cheats coded into the game? If there is which program can you use on the rom?

Depends if the game uses memory locations the same as other games (especially probable if it is a straight hack of another game, but Super Contra 7 seems to be a mix of all sorts of things), if you want to do it easily. As far as programs, well yes, the usual hacker tools will work. It won't be terribly easy though.

I remember playing this one for fun and ended up with a big headache. I could barely get past the first level with savestats and if I remember correctly, the first boss was almost impossible.

Pics (screen grabs, photos off the TV) please. I'd like to see this for my own curiousity sake since I collect oddities/hacks of all kinds for both my Famicom and Mega Drive as well as MVS Neo:Geo and have never heard of this one. I've currently got Samurai Spirits II, Super Mario World, and Street Fighter II for the Fami and Tekken Special and K.O.F. 98' on MD. Then "King of Gladiator" for Neo Geo. *If you could post some pics of Contra 7 it be mucho appreciated, more to the point the cartridge and/or box if you have those, or is it on some kind of multi cart?

Could this be some sort of blend of content from Operation C for the Game Boy (or even the Game Boy port of Contra III) ? I recall that the Famicom port of Donkey Kong Country looked like it was derived from the Game Boy version.

If SC7 is the one I'm thinking of, yes, the first boss is pretty hard, but I did it.

Contra '93 (or something) is way...worse. All sorts of bizzare oddities with the way Contra uses tiles and water appear.

[Blllunttman]

Ya the first boss is pretty hard. I made it all the way to level 3 but thats as far as I can get. Thats why I was looking for some cheat codes. I noticed at the menu screen if you dont hit start right away and it goes to demo videos of the game it shows 2 players and they each have like 48 or 49 lives thats what kind of got me thinking about the cheat codes. There have to be some out there. Is there anyone out there that knows how to get these codes off of the roms? It would be awesome if they could. I can post screen shots tomorrow if you guys are interested.

[rbudrick]

I'd really like to see some pics of this too. Sounds interesting.

I'll post some screenshots later today but there has to be at least some cheat codes for this game. I mean they only give you 5 lives.

Aha, this is the game I was thinking of then.

I noticed when playing this a while back that the demo players will continue playing even while losing tons of lives. The count actually carries over to the next demo. Finally, one of the players will lose all his lives and stop appearing. Once the other loses all of his, I think it will reset them and both demo players will appear again. It's definitely trippy. Unfortunately, it's useless as a cheat (the only demo cheat I've found was in Heretic, which has a really cool bug, but that's neither here nor there).

Here are some screenshots of the game.
