The Paper Mario Level Up Freeze Fix
I discovered, as I'm sure many of you have, that Paper Mario likes to freeze up when you Level Up. Something told me, however, that this wasn't a problem with the Emulator, but rather a problem with the cheats.
It turns out that if you're using the Max BP cheat, when it's time to Level Up, the game freezes. It seems it can't figure out what to do when you have 127 BP.
So, I set about to create a solution for this problem. The end result is a new code that sets your BP to 60. When you get into a battle that will Level you up at the end, disable the Max BP code, and turn on my code. After the battle, you can level up perfectly. Simply choose to raise your HP or your FP. After the battle is over, and you're back on the Map Screen, disable my BP code, and re-enable the Max BP code.
How To "Install"
First and foremost: Back up your current cheats list! To do this, go to your Project64 directory, and make yourself a new folder. Name it Backup, and then move the file Project64.cht into that new folder. If, for some reason, you have problems with my cheat file, you can just delete it, and move the original file from the Backups folder back to the main PJ64 folder.
To "install" my cheat list, just download the file attached to this post, then Un-RAR it into your Project 64 v1.6 directory. By default, this is C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\
