- You *DON'T* have to wait for him to wiggle his finger !!
- Where did you get that from ??
-
- If you can't get it, you're not doing it right !!
-
- It is u,d,l,r (bell), but you have to press them exactly.
- I too had problems but I can now do it EVERY time.
- Try pressing the joypad by the ends of the directions, as its
- all too easy to press another direction as well.
- Just practice and practice- you'll get it in the end.
-
- As for the debug, this is the same.
- I use U,C,D,C,L,C,R (bell) - note: the bell sounds before
- you press the last C (you don't need to press it really)
- You then press START and hold A.
- You can get the debug AND level select at the same time.
- Hold A and press START for level select,
- Press START *THEN* hold A for debug.
- But you have to do BOTH codes.
-
- I don't know if selecting a level, then holding A would take
- the games to debug - I haven't tried it.
-
- Keep trying - it does work.
-
- Antony.
- PS: Don't forget both debug and level select stay in after reset.
- Don't bother tapping in codes again.
