Amateur programmer Alex "H4v0c21" Corley first documented a new cheat code for Donkey Kong Country 2, allowing players to exit levels mid-game, almost 30 years after the game's release.
"I was casually scrolling through some disassembled code when I saw code that essentially did nothing but loop and waste CPU time. This is especially eye-catching in the case of Rareware because their code is for the most part extremely optimized..."
"Naturally, my next idea was to actually test this on the cheat menu. I tried it and my disappointment was immeasurable when it didn't work... I played around in the game and noticed it was being accessed when the game was paused."
