Awright, you guys got me intrigued. Here's how to disable plane/playfield
collision detection. Patch the binary with bytes 4C ED 12 at location 2E7,
and bytes 4C 68 14 at location 462. In DOS, it'd look like this:
debug riveraid.bin
-e 3E7 4C ED 12
-e 562 4C 68 14
-w
-q
I haven't figured out player-player collisions yet, but that wouldn't quite
work, cause it'd disable player-fuel tank collisions, which are required to
refuel.
