Title: [PAID REQUEST] Dashin' Desperadoes Level Maps
Post by: Hugbot on March 22, 2022, 01:09:28 am
Hello!

I would love to make a paid request for someone to do the level maps of a game called Dashin' Desperadoes for the Sega Genesis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mLFiZ-cbDQ

I would love to have the level maps for both 1 Player Mode, 2 Player Mode, and the secret levels accessed using the passwords: MINE_B, ROCK, MINE_A, UFO.

Please feel free to respond in thread with contact information or to directly message me.

I'm surprised I haven't really looked into this game.  I mean, I was always a Nintendo guy, but I've been expanding my horizons, and I feel like I should have at least heard of this earlier.

My brother and I are always on the lookout for interesting 2-player versus games, and desperately dashing around sure looks neat!

I second this request.

I'll take care of this one. I have all the cheat codes I need and it doesn't look like this will be a hard game to map.

If I understand right there should be 41 maps by the time this is done. I've finished 1-1 through 3-3 and the special password stages already.

I did some game hacking just for fun after the maps were finished. First I went to the passwords screen and figured out what the alphanumeric digits were. Then I loaded the ROM into a hex editor and searched for the passwords that Hugbot posted earlier. I found these passwords in the ROM easily enough, and when I copied all the nearby data and translated it from hex back to the alphanumeric digits I found several more passwords that the game doesn't normally hand out.

These aren't even on GameFAQs yet!

Play_W_Two - Start on world 2, one player mode
Play_W_Three - Start on world 3, one player mode
Play_W_Four - Start on world 4, one player mode
Play_W_Five - Start on world 5, one player mode
Play_W_Six - Start on world 6, one player mode
Final_Battle - Start 2 player mode, and both players have trophies in every world except world 1
Name_Roll - View the credits
Nine_Nine_Credits - Start 1 player mode with 99 credits
LANG - Activate "special" difficulty
DATA_EAST_CORP - Plays a sound clip. I couldn't hear it well enough to understand.
SHIRAIWA_HANAKUROI - I can't tell wtf this does. It IS a valid password though.

The Dashin' Desperadoes maps are now up here. (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#DashinDesperadoes)  Thanks, zagato!

You should definitely submit those codes to GameFAQs if you haven't already.  Those are kind of neat.  Wonder if someone will be able to decipher the sound clip and/or figure out what that SHIRAIWA code does.
