Download 2 Cheats

[ccovell]

Hi, I've posted a couple of the codes below before, but I've found the invincibility cheat just now!

Debug Menu
At the title screen press SEL, (I,II)x5, SEL

Invincibility (Super Mode unlock)
Immediately after entering the Debug Menu, press Ux5, Dx6, Rx19, Lx1.  A chime should sound and you can change the mode setting now.

Here's a funny alternate mode that you can access in Download 2. Go to the debug menu and choose to view the ending cinema (#9). At the very end, when "NEC Avenue / SOFIX" are shown on the screen and the music has stopped, press and hold UP+SEL+II and keep holding them (?) until the debug menu comes back on. Choose a valid stage, and all the smaller enemies in the game will be replaced by crazy cartoon characters, like Ultraman, Bakabon, Moomin, etc! Each stage has something weird to see.

This cheat took me a few tries before it worked, so perhaps you should try this with an emu and savestates first.

Oh, and the RAM address to unlock this crazy mode (if hacking with an emu or using RAM cheat) : $2078:01

Will have to give this a spin, love me some Download(2) weird ass shmups to be sure, but good stuff.

Few tries indeed, but it works...

Debug Menu
At the title screen press SEL, (I,II)x5, SEL

I am having problems with getting to the debug menu. 

Is it press Select, press I and II simultaneously 5 times, then press Select? Or is is different?

[ccovell]

I, then II.

I just got back into Download 2 thanks to the remastered disc I recently picked up from jperryss.
I was searching the forum for any threads about the game and found this one here!
Thanks for the codes ccovell!
I beat the game for my first time last night (without cheats) and then tried the parody code. I didn't get it to work the first time (waited too long after the music stopped), then the next time I stopped holding the buttons after the screen faded to black (didn't work), then the third time I held UP+SEL+II  constantly until the debug came back up. The screen was black for awhile (slow loading I guess).

anyhow, that parody mode is fantastic! Too bad it only allows play of one level at a time and kicks back to the debug menu after each level.  was so hoping for some parody cinemas too! Please someone remix this game and give us a full parody mode with original cinemas
