Level 3: Cheat Codes
You enter the third room of the dungeon, and find a paper with what you recognize as hex cheat codes. The door to the exit of the room has a gameshark and a keypad awaiting a cheat code entry. The list of codes reads:
41207472
75652067
616d6572
206b6e6f
77732074
68652063
6f646520
746f2064
65636970
6865723a
42594150
50575a4c
53424144
46435251
Using the information hidden in the cheat codes, what is the cheat code that you enter to move on to the next level?
Answer
I would say
EE6B2800
Converting the hexcode to ascii gives:
A true gamer knows the code to decipher:BYAPPWZLSBADFCRQ
The code to decipher(Vigenere) the last part is the Konami Code (with two start buttons at the end. Only got this one after the tip in the comments. I only remember it with a single start button at the end while wikipedia doesn't say anything about a start button at all.):
BYAPPWZLSBADFCRQ : code[uuddlrlrbass] = hexmefourbillion
Converting to hexadecimal:
4,000,000,000 = EE6B2800 (base16)
I tried to do something with that last bit but putting it into an ascii converter again only leads to garbage.
