Netplay/Cheating issue?

Post by xGrAffitix »

Alright before I get bickered at for 'Not reading', let me explain my problem. I know you can't cheat over netplay, this isn't really the problem I'm having. There is a ROM I'm playing. Seiken Densetsu 3. I have been playing it on my own, and I used cheats for it. [Negative comments aside please.] Well, a buddy of mine wanted to play on netplay with me, so I sent them the rom, and we played. Well they didn't want to play anymore, so I went back to my own game, put in cheats, and now the cheats don't work all of a sudden. Is this a known issue, and does this happen with all ROM's? I'm a little ticked off about it, especially since I got fairly far in the game. I for one, don't want to spend 8 hours to level up 1 time. I don't have that kind of time.

I doubt cheats "stop working"... but I suggest you should save in-game first (not using any savestates, but feel free to make a savestate after saving in-game), quit, reload ZSNES and the game and then you should be able to use cheats.

The issue you were probably facing is ending a netplay session in which something doesn't go quite right afterwards (probably needed to eventually quit ZSNES to get things operating properly).

Well see that's the thing. I didn't use save states. Today I restarted my computer, just to see if any kind of netplay connection was still on and it didn't work. I had in-game saves. So I started a new game with the cheats, and they worked. This is the same exact rom. Then I reset, cheats still on. I loaded the in game state, and the codes didn't work. It just seems really weird. Could be just a bug, I guess it's no big deal, but it is a little frustrating.
