CHEAT

In the folder PLAYERPROFILES under the folder Rogue
Squadron was installed into are the files containing
the player info such as current mission number, what
medals have been won, what rank the player has achieved,
etc. The filename of the first player created for example
is PLAYER_00.SAV.

At hex address 32 in this file is the current mission number.
Hex 00 is the first mission, 01 is the second, 02 the third,
and so on until hex 0F, mission 16, which is apparently the
last mission. Simply changing this number to anything up to
hex 0F will allow access to that mission and all missions
before it.

At hex address 31 is the player rank info.
The following table shows the values and their effects:


00 = Trainee
01 = Cadet
02 = Ensign
03 = Officer
04 = Lieutenant
05 = Flight Leader
06 = Captain
07 = Squad Leader
08 = Gold Leader
09 = Major
0A = Commander
0B = Colonel
0C = General
0D = Line Admiral
0E = Fleet Admiral
0F = Supreme Allied Commander

Note: Even if this value is changed, the game will
continue "promoting" the player at it's own rate.

At hex 53 through hex 57 is the info for the medals
(Bronze, Silver, Gold). The following table shows the
values and their effects:

0 = No Medals
1 = 1 Bronze
2 = 1 Silver
3 = 1 Gold
4 = 1 Bronze
5 = 2 Bronze
6 = 1 Bronze and 1 Silver
7 = 1 Bronze and 1 Gold
8 = 1 Silver
9 = 1 Bronze and 1 Silver
A = 2 Silver
B = 1 Silver and 1 Gold
C = 1 Gold
D = 1 Bronze and 1 Gold
E = 1 Silver and 1 Gold
F = 2 Gold


So, as each byte consists of 2 hex numbers, a hex 4D for
example would be:
1 Bronze plus 1 Bronze and 1 Gold for 2 Bronze and 1 Gold in that byte.
Apparently the maximum number of possible medals is 19, so
a hex FF FF FF FF FF would be 19 Gold rather than 20 Gold.

Hints:
------
If you're going after an AT-AT, come in low and slow.
Release your cable just as you start to turn; once the
cable is set, you'll switch to a distant view and the
controls won't be as intuitive, so you'll already want
to be turning to keep your bearings. When trying to
wrap a tow cable, you'll find that a left-turning path
will work the best.
Because you get rated on your shooting accuracy, you
have to be careful when taking on TIE fighters, as you
can find yourself missing an awful lot. Try to figure
out their patterns and get in behind, so that your shots
will have a higher hit percentage. Avoid taking on the
AT-ST and the AT-PT on a head-on run or you'll get chewed
up by their blasters. Instead, make a sideways strafe. If
possible, make a visual ID of all turreted blasters or
missile platforms as soon as you enter an area. Fly low
or from the side and take them out first; then you won't
have to worry about being shot out of the sky during a
dogfight. Don't count on your wingmen to do much at all
against airborne foes. When you find yourself in a major
furball, fly defensively and always tackle your targets
from their weakest sides. Gradually picking away at the
enemy is the best way to disperse a major force.

The CHICKEN is well protected but slow. Now I'll tell
you how to get as fast as an X-Wing. Press W thn E.
This is perfect as the CHICKEN takes 16 shots to kill.
This is only good against targets on the same height as
where your standing.

V-Wing boost:
-------------
The engine boosters of the V-Wing can be used to your advantage. Note the speed
and distance that one boost gives. When traveling far, use them when near the
destination.

Speeder tow cable:
------------------
When wrapping the tow cable around an AT-AT's legs with the speeder, press A
for left brake and D for right brake to make tighter turns.

TIE Interceptor:
----------------
Enable the GOODGUYTIE code to unlock the Tie Intercepter. Then, enable the
WOOKIEPELT code to unlock the Millennium Falcon. Select any level. Highlight
the Millennium Falcon at the ship selection screen. When the camera stops
moving and it is on the Millennium Falcon, quickly press [Cursor Left] followed
by [Cursor Up]. The camera should stall, then go behind the Millennium Falcon.
You will now be able to select the TIE Interceptor.

Beggars Canyon: Gold medal:
---------------------------
Fly through the hard course to get the gold, but stay low.

------------------
Use your stabilizers (F) for better control.
