Update 1: I may have a cheat device fix (based on chekwob's fix) in a bit. Just reaching that point in the level to see that it doesn't crash this way either.
Update 2: Give me a bit again, I ran through the level without doing the Gem part. <_<

Once again, some nifty codes you've made. I'll add them to my list of codes to try (getting long ). Right now, I'm looking into the Crash 1 and 2 issues.
Guys, do you think there is a way to fix the Stormy Ascent code for the PAL version? Some users (me too) have found that the game frezzes at the Loading screen of the level, while in the NTSC version it works without problems.
I checked the game earlier, and it does indeed freeze. I know the game has some protection (EDC). I'll continue to investigate it.
Hacc do you know how I can contact codemaster va through email because I'd like to ask him a question about the hit anywhere asm code he hacked for the game?
E-mail, no. On his forums, maybe. I don't know if he accepts PM's from all users, as I have not reregistered there (talked to him once or twice). Also, he hasn't done PS1 in years, and has since moved on to the newer consoles. Your best bet is the Gamehacking forums (which you have done ), where many of the members have worked (and learned from) with him in the past.

I downloaded it from the link on VanizKai's video on Youtube. That's why I have it as a .bin file.
I tried the first method you suggested and it still freezes for me. I think I did it right. I did a search in XVI32 for the Hex String you said and when it found it I clicked 'Replace' and changed the '07' to '00' like you suggested.
I've downloaded the program you suggested for the other method and I've burnt the file to disc. How do you get it to work though? It says on the site it will attempt to insert or extract every file in the CD image by default.
Re: Crash 2 Strategy Guide vs Retail Game Differen « Result #5 Today at 5:11pm »
Interesting. I acquired the beta as an archive of files rather than a .bin image. Well, you could search through the bin in a hex editor for 07 00 00 00 75 C8 27 0A and change the 07 to 00, provided the data isn't split on a cd sector boundary.
Otherwise, you could try using cdpatch from here: http://www.neillcorlett.com/cmdpack/ to extract the file, modify it, and patch the one on the .bin image.
Re: Crash 2 Strategy Guide vs Retail Game Differen « Result #7 Today at 4:08pm »
Any hex editor can be used to make the change. I used one called "XVI32". To initially discover the fix, though, I used a program I wrote. Changing the byte to zero sets the size of the level model reference list to zero, so no level models are associated with that section of the level. This apparently makes it so no geometry gets rendered while the camera is in that section.
Why the game freezes there is unclear. It could be a problem with the geometry data, a problem with the precomputed occlusion data, a problem with the camera object, resource exhaustion, or other things I haven't considered yet.

Ehi guys, I was seeing again the booths of Activision at E3 2013: MR 309, MR 403B, MR 404AB, 647
Do you think that "MR" stands for something? For some reasons, the number 647 doesn't have these two words (maybe it is a booth in which people will play the old Activision's games. I think it happened with Super Mario Galaxy 2 in 2010, if I remember correctly).
Re: Crash 2 Strategy Guide vs Retail Game Differen « Result #12 Today at 4:37am »
The freezing in piston it away near the gem seems to be caused by a problem with rendering the level in that area. Using a draw level code might be a usable workaround.
Either way, I've had some success by making a small change to the Piston It Away NSF file. Changing the byte at 89FB180h (EDIT: whoops, that's totally the wrong number, I meant 3F0058h) in S1/S0000010.NSF to zero effectively disables rendering in the area containing the gem.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Cheat Codes (PS1/PS2/GC) « Result #15 Today at 12:50am »
@Hacc: Thanks :)
I've finally managed to make a code to let you get the gem in Crash 1 after you die! I've also managed to make codes for Crash 2 to make the death routes stay open after you die and to make the timer not stop when you die.
I've also made some codes to have all the boxes in Crash 2, because the ones I've seen either don't work or you can only get two boxes in the level, which makes it impossible to get the gem on some of them.
Again, they're just for the US version atm, but I'll post the PAL ones when I find an ISO of it or when I go back home.
Crash Bandicoot (US) SCUS_949.00
Can still get gem after you die 80061A3C 0000 Note: You won't respawn with an Aku if you die many times.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (US) SCUS_941.54
Death routes don't close when you die 8006CB84 0000 Notes: You won't respawn with an Aku if you die many times. This goes for any level.
Death routes are on levels 7-Air Crash, 14-Road to Ruin, 17-Diggin' It, 18-Cold Hard Crash, 21-Piston It Away and 23-Night Fight.
Timer doesn't stop when you die 8006CD20 0000 Notes: This works on levels 3-Hang Eight and 11-Plant Food.
The timer will still disappear if you go into the bonus or die at any checkpoint apart from the last one on Hang Eight. You can get it back by dying in the bonuses.
The timer will reset when you die-whether that be in the levels or in the bonuses. However, I don't think it resets if you complete the bonus.
You won't respawn with an Aku if you die many times on those levels.
Turtle Woods-Have no crates opened D005F3EC 001E 8006CC68 0000 D0069922 FFFE 8006CC68 3E00 Notes: Go through the level and get the blue gem. Then die and press 'Select' once to be able to get the normal gem.
This won't change your displayed box number.
Using this code, you can still get gems on other levels normally.
Have all crates opened D0069922 EEFF 8006CC68 ???? Notes: Press L2+Triangle at the end of the level and don't get any boxes after doing so.
On Turtle Woods, your box number will be set to 0. Go through the level and get the blue gem. Then die and press 'Select' once to be able to get the normal gem.

I'm not able to see much, but there is a pit with black polygons in it, similar to what you see with ice. Maybe there's ice over there? I'd like to be able to view the level's 3d models, since that would open up a lot of possibility, but I've not been able to figure out the level model format beyond recoloring areas and accidentally moving some vertices around.

How ironic: today at the Latin lesson our teacher confused the origin of a word with another one and said: "Nonono, I think I've been confused with the name cortex, yes, it must be cortex, cortex, cortex, not the other one...yeah, I'm 100% it is cortex, so I've done wrong this part of the translation". You can immagine what some of my friends and I were thinking XD
P.S. If you don't know, "cortex" is also a latin word and it stands for the tree bark

Nintendo is counting on the new Zelda, Mario and Smash Bros. Those games are some of the most beloved franchises and people can see them in HD for the first time, so that's why the Wii U is going to sell a lot even if it's already obsolete.
However guys I found this:

It's not 'bitching' now. It's an actual arguable limitation. Not many people have a Wii U. Now if I want to play the new Sonic, which I do, I have to own a Wii U. I don't want a Wii U. There's nothing on Wii U I want that I can't get on a console I already own without buying a new console. Now I can't play the new Sonic.

Yeah, and the Sonic fans out there are mighty pissed that they won't be playing any new Sonic games for a long time. They think that Sonic might moved to Nintendo since his games sell the best of the bunch.
Didn't they bitch about Colors being a Wii exclusive too?
As for the "obj_willy" being in said warp rooms, I didn't see anything when I disabled the drawing of the warp room (I used my Draw Level code). I'm just going to throw this thought out there, but could it be Coco? She is, after all, referred as that in memory (correct me if I'm wrong).
Something I forgot to mention a while ago is that MrBean35000vr took a look at the extra gem slot and noted that it is not linked with any gem or crystal, and left with the equivalent of a null value, so it's totally unused.
Well, that both sucks and good to know from a technical side.
When I first came across that "obj_monty_hall" text, I came to the conclusion that it was the warp room itself.
I just tested this a few hours ago. Removing the monty halls kills the portals and the ability to use the load/save screens, and also breaks crash's reentry angle into the warp room after leaving a level or boss. Aside from that, everything appears to work fine (haven't tested the cutscenes though), including entering boss fights.
Ah, OK. This all sounds really interesting to hear. I await what happens with the cutscenes.
I think obj_willy is crash, or some kind of control object that spawns and manages crash. obj_willy shows up in every level where you are able to control a character, including coco's levels in Warped. Maybe that's what you're referring to? I've only looked at the NSF and NSD files, haven't really touched the executable yet.
That sounds plausible. I noticed that as well. Yes, that is what I referring, too. Oh, OK.
I think coco is just a special mode crash can be put into somehow. If you get coco to collide with certain objects she shouldn't be able to without pura, she transforms (or perhaps reverts) into crash.
I remember randomly finding an address in memory (it's not static) for Warped, that glitched the loading of Coco into Crash for her levels. I'll have to see if I saved that in a text file somewhere.
Also, obj_willy dictates the number of boxes there are in the level for the box counter at the end of the level as well as the box counter that shows at the top of the screen upon pressing triangle.
@Hacc I tried looking through the level myself with the line mode and didn't see the area with the solid ground you were talking about. Also I'm still having no luck with your draw level code. It only seems to work on emulators because it seems like no matter what device I use, it always freezes when attempting to disable drawing of the level when playing on my actual console.
My answer was based on the color of the wireframe, for the surface you walk on. If you move inch by inch in the area chekwob posted, you can see the same color wireframe in the background. It could be nothing, due to how the level is rendered.
What code and version of the game were you playing? It worked fine on my console when I made it.

I'm not sure which Crash Bandicoot game was being played, but in the Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode "Great Barrier", the jewel thief ("Ella Miyazaki"; Grace Hsu) can be seen playing a video game (Crash Bandicoot heard on the television breaking crates and collecting Wumpa fruit) in her bedroom, while waiting for her lover to come to bed. I never imagined seeing "lover" and "bedroom" in the same sentence, when talking about a Crash Bandicoot game.

It looks like New Super Mario Bros U with all the different themed worlds liked togheter in a big overworld. Sonic and Tails are confermed to appear in the game because the plane has to be piloted by someone and usually is Tails. Talking about the "Lost World" itself, it looks like an half planet made out of shapes (exagons?) but it looks really small compare to the planet that it's apparently far away from it. The planet is also not in space but in the sky, suggesting that it's not earth (or mobius, i don't know if mobius exist in the games) like Angel Island. This picture is really interesting antdleaves to a lot of speculations.

For me there is no Crash game in development right now, after reading that they are focusing more on big franchises from now on and being pretty sure that Crash isn't on of those big franchises I really don't see a new game being developed. It would be good to see a new low budget game for the IOS like Rayman Jungle Run or Sonic Jump, at least it would be something. Maybe they could develop a game like Rayman Origins, a low budget 2D platformer game in the style of the GBA games (but with better graphics).
