'Dr. No' adds a cheat into the in-game cheat menu that allows you to disable all body armour in both solo and multiplayer. Simply toggle the cheat ON to disable body armour pickups, and toggle it off when you want them to appear. It is only available either through patching the game's ROM or through use of cheat codes.
Availablity[edit | edit source]
It is available as both a codeset and in patch form. The codes require that the in-game cheat menu either is already available or has been made available through use of other codes. The patch does not have this restriction and adds both Dr. No and Line Mode to the cheat menu while simultaneously unlocking it.
Listed here are the GameShark and Pro Action Replay codes that make the feature available. The patch is available for download here.

Technical[edit | edit source]
The cheat works differently in both patch and code form. The code version swaps a pointer used in expanding and validating objects when the stage is loaded. Instead of initializing the object, it simply skips over it.
The patch version is more complicated. It alters the code found in the same routine skipped above. A simple test is used to see if the cheat has been toggled. If so, it skips expanding the object. Otherwise, it is treated normally.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The name of the cheat is based on the 1962 film Dr. No
