Cheats

I discovered some cheats in the Windows version. Might be useful for routing: Open SSGWINCD.INI in a text editor and add CheatKeys=1 to the [Gizmos & Gadgets! CD] section. Alternatively you can use a debugger and set the int16 at 0x461A9C (game version 1.2) to 1. Then you can use these keyboard commands:

Ctrl-A: Gives you the best of the required parts. Crashes the game if any of the required part slots is not empty.

Ctrl-B: Adds 5 bananas.

Ctrl-F: Toggle faster game speed.

Tab or Ctrl-I: Toggle god mode: chimps don't hurt you when enabled.

Ctrl-P: Increase score by 100 points.

Ctrl-U: Teleport upstairs.

Ctrl-Y: Unlock all doors.

Ctrl-Z: Toggle "Pick a Puzzle". When enabled, you can choose the puzzle when going through a door. You can also skip the puzzle.

Ctrl+S turns off sound, but sadly I couldn’t find keys to turn off hints or voice, because the latter two seem to save time in runs.

Ctrl+S should already toggle both sound and voice.

It seems there is no hotkey for toggling hints: in v1.2 the int16 at 0x462790 specifies whether hints are disabled and there are only 3 functions that modify its value:

  • 42AEC8 resets settings to their default values
  • 42B1D8 reads settings from ssgwin.dat
  • 43C4CF shows the toggle prompt

So the only way to disable hints via keyboard is to use the main menu: Alt+O, Down, Wait for prompt, Enter
