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
