Cleopatra Fortune (Arcade)

A puzzler which involves surrounding gems and mummies with blocks.

Debug Menu#

Put this code in MAME's cleopatr.xml cheat file. Enable it and press Tilt to access a debug menu.

<cheat desc="Debug Menu">
  <script state="run">
    <action>maincpu.md@00076C=4EF85DB8</action>
  </script>
  <script state="off">
    <action>maincpu.md@00076C=4E4A007C</action>
  </script>
</cheat>

The functions are as follows:

• IT'S A JOKE - Exits the debug menu.
• RESET - Resets the game.
• SCREEN CHR TEST - Allows the player to view background tiles. The only ways to exit this menu are by pressing the Service Mode key or by resetting the game.
  Controls:
  • 1P Left/Right - Decrease/increase width
  • 1P Down/Up - Move vertically
  • 1P B/A - Cycle through palettes

• OBJECT CHR TEST - Allows the player to view sprites. The only ways to exit this menu are by pressing the Service Mode key or by resetting the game.
  The controls are the same as SCREEN CHR TEST.
  
• PROCESS METER - Doesn't work; exits the menu instead.
• TASK STATUS - Doesn't work; exits the menu instead.

(Non-Functional) Level Select#

This game uses the Taito Code:

1. Hold the Service Coin button upon booting, and wait until a "SERVICE SWITCH ERROR" message pops up on the screen.
2. Press 1P Start (x3), Service Coin, then 1P Start again.

Upon this, the player is redirected to a stage select menu, which can be navigated by using 1P Left/Right. However, this function doesn't seem to work properly, as the player is not warped to the selected level.
