(I hope I put this in the right forum. I think I did. ^^;;)
Hi everyone. (^^) New member here, and I'm having a MAJOR problem with Security Hall. I originally posted this in the NeoSeeker forums, but no one's really been able to help me. So I'm hoping that one of you "game gods" will have some advice....
I own the GameCube version of SA2B. And for some reason, once I open a safe (by digging into the flashing center of it), the safe can NEVER be opened again (even if I turn off my GameCube). The flashing panel disappears permanently, and I can't Screw Kick it open (I think because the GameCube version got rid of that "helpful glitch". Bastards).
I opened about 90% of the safes in the level, back when I was trying to collect 100 rings (I knew there were rings in some of the safes, and I didn't know about the "play Mystic Melody and 30+ rings will appear" trick until much later on)...but still!! I assumed that if I died or turned off the system, all the safes would "reset" and I could reopen them again. But I was wrong.
Now as a result of this problem, Mission 5 seems impossible to do, because one of the emeralds is inside of a safe (which I previously opened - WITHOUT hitting the switch on the ceiling. o_O). And as you all probably know, Mission 5's emeralds are ALWAYS in the same locations. (><;) Does anyone know what I can do?
Please help. ;_____;
PS: I have around 80 lives, and I wonder if that could be the problem. In other words...if I lost ALL of my lives/"continues", would the game truly "reset" that way? Or would it really not matter...which means my game IS corrupt and I have to either buy a new disc or delete everything. >___<
