Hey all. I thought I found a bug in my emulator last night while playing contra with some game genie codes turned on. But I was able to reproduce the effect in Nestopia and realized it wasn't really a bug. It turns out that if you have both...
GXIIUX: keep gun after losing a life
...and...
PEIIXZ: start new life with machine gun
...codes turned on, then when you die your character will get stuck in an infinite loop of death (assuming you also have the cheat code for infinite lives turned on) in the bottom-left corner of the screen. lmao. Turn either of the above gun codes off in real-time and the looping will stop and the character will revive onto the screen as normal. Try it out for yourself!
Just thought I would share because it was funny. Good to know that it's not a problem with my emu!
Pz!
