Cheats:

"Those who seek power, should have been granted with a great sense of coordination to "trigger" a new source of energy".

Note: this isn't a cheat I added or that's in the pc game, but some debug code I thought could work and be fun as a cheat.

Other notes:

I haven't tested myself, but it should work if run from a usb device from homebrew channel or another app passing the first argument as the file path such as "usb:/apps/meritous/boot.dol".

Known bugs:

-For some reason there's some code regarding the title screen that will code dump. I tried backtracing it but I couldn't see the failure, so that part of code only compiles for the pc version. Anyway I'm still yet to notice what that code does to the game, so it doesn't affect gameplay.

Source notes:

-Only modified files are: levelblit.c, ending.c and help.c -The source should compile exactly just like original 1.2 source when using Makefile.pc. -With the current sdl-wii release you can't compile the source, as there are some audio problems. Also the PAL display isn't fixed. I had solved that myself to just find that afterwars sdl-wii's svn got the same changes.

Compiled with:

SDL-WII svn rev 55 and it's dependencies: libfreetype, libpng, libmpeg and libtremor. libogc svn rev 3608 (global rev 3643) libfat svn rev 3635 (global rev 3643)
