Enter The Matrix - Strategy Guide (Page 06)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Enter The Matrix - Strategy Guide (Page 06).

As an example you could enter: A:\> (Dir B:). This would 
then open up the directory for the "B" drive. If you are 
just starting the hacking game you will find that the B 
drive is locked for the moment. More on how to unlock the 
"B" drive in the walkthrough.

Instead of searching the "B" drive, lets search the "A" 
drive. To do so, type in A:\> (Dir A:). Since Directory A is 
open, you will see that the folders "System", "Tools", and 
"Text" are in the "A" drive. To access one of these folders 
you can enter the command: A:\> (Dir A:\ ). So 
if you wanted to look inside the System folder, you would 
have to enter the command: A:\ (Dir A:\system). Note that 
once you have opened a directory, you can access it with the 
use of the (DIR) command on the menu screen. This is much 
easier than enter the command every time you want to revisit 
a folder.

Finally if you want to run a program, you must simply enter 
A:\> (). So if you want to run the "Cheat" 
program you will have to enter the command: A:> (Cheat.exe). 
This will now download the cheat program to your menu. If 
you want to enter a cheat you can now either choose the 
"Cheat" command from the menu or enter the command: A:\> 
(Cheat ).

What is the Point?
The purpose of the hacking game is not only to entertain, 
but also to allow the user to hack the matrix and change the 
in game experience. You can unlock new features for use in 
the game, make your system play simplistic "Beeping" songs, 
or even have conversations with Trinity. Just have fun, and 
keep digging deeper into the rabbit hole.

STEP FOR STEP HACKING GUIDE
============================================================
=====================
******NOTE YOU CANNOT UNLOCK THE SWORD IN THE GAME UNLESS 
YOU ARE HACKING A COMPLETED SAVE FILE*****
* In order to explain the hacking system as easily as 
possible, this section of the FAQ will come in a numbered 
order. If you feel that you have a good understanding of the 
hacking system, feel free to jump ahead in the walkthrough. 
Just be aware that certain prompts and programs cannot be 
used until they are discovered and unlocked. For example, 
you cannot use the DIAL.EXE program until you have hacked 
far into the system and unlocked it.


1. Unlock the Hacking System when you have started a new 
game.
2. Return to main menu and enter Hacking game.
3. Press any key
4. Type in (HELP DIR)
5. Find commands (DIR A:) and (DIR A:\TOOLS)
6. Enter command (DIR A:\TOOLS), here you will find 
CHEAT.EXE
7. Download CHEAT.EXE bye typing in the command (CHEAT.EXE). 
Cheats can now be accessed and entered from the hacking menu
8. Enter (DIR A:\System), here you will find the READ.EXE.  
Enter (READ.EXE) command to download. You can now read the 
files in DIR A:\Text
9. Enter (DIR A:\System), find LOGIN.EXE. Type in command 
(LOGIN.EXE) to download
10. Run LOGIN.EXE from the hacking menu. Enter (GUEST) as 
user to access the login screen
11. This opens up DIR B:
12. Access DIR B: by typing (DIR B:), this will show you the 
available folders in DIR B:
13. Enter the DIR B:\Tools. You will find that this file is 
locked with a 5 digit binary code. Each code is randomly 
generated for every game and every            save file.
  
*Hints to find binary code*
-Binary code is a code made up of "1" and "0". It is a basic 
programming code on which computers are based on.
- Enter (11111) as your code. You will then see a message 
telling you how many of the numbers are correct and how many 
are in the correct spaces.
- Example: if the message says, "4 digits correct, 4 in 
correct spot" that means that one of the numbers you entered 
as "1" must be a "0" instead.
-Experiment with the numbers and the responses you get from 
your entry. Eventually you will find that what your binary 
code is. Mine for Example was "11110" on one of my saves

14. After you have opened the DIR B:\Tools file, you can now 
access a few new programs.
15. Download and Run (PLAY.EXE) and you will now be able to 
watch FMV's that you have unlocked during the game.
16. Download and Run (DECODE.EXE) and you will now be able 
to decode real world codes
17. Download and Run (TRACEKILL.EXE), you will now be able 
to stop a trace on your location in The Matrix. More on this 
later
18. Run the (READ.EXE) file that you had previously 
downloaded. Use the program to read (A:\TEXT\Notez.txt).
19. Inside this text you will find a code for the virtual 
drive. This code may be randomized but I have found it to 
constantly be "FROZENFISH"
20. Go back to DIR B:\TOOLS and run (VIRTUAL.EXE)
21. When it asks for the password for the drive, enter the 
password you found in the (NOTEZ.TXT) file "FROZENFISH"
22. You now have a limited time to solve a Kanji Puzzle. 
There are three possible solutions to the puzzle. One 
solution does nothing. A second one will start a trace 
program. You have to enter (TRACEKILL) into the prompt 
before the timer runs out or you are kicked out of the 
hacking game. The third answer to the puzzle will grant you 
access to the Virtual Drive (DIR V:\). 

The answer to the puzzle looks roughly like this (This may 
get messed up due to formatting and print layouts, ignore 
the ">" it is used to try to pass any formating this FAQ may 
go through). The answer resembles a plus sign on top of an 
upside down "U" with small accents on the inside and to the 
right of the symbol.
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>1
>>>>>>>>>>>---------
>>>>>>>>>>>>>1
>>>>>>>>>------------------------
>>>>>>>1>>>>>>>>>>>>>1
>>>>>>1>>>>>>>>>>>>>1
>>>>>1>>>>>>1>>>>>>1>>>>1
>>>>1>>>>>>>>>>>>>1
>>>1>>>>>>>>>>>>>1     
 * If this image does not display properly, the kanji 
resembles a Plus sign (+) on top of an upside down "U" with 
a small accent on the left side*

23. Enter (DIR V:\) to gain access to DIR V: files
24. Enter (DIR V:\TOOLS) and run program (ROOTSEARCH.EXE)
25. This program will find you the password (THISISNOTREAL)
26. Enter (DIR V:\ROOT) and run (MAIL.EXE)
27. Punch in (THISISNOTREAL) for the password and read the 
mail available
28. In this email you will find 4 telephone numbers.

001 949 555 01112
001 714 555 0187
001 213 555 0142
001 310 555 0111

29.Enter (DIR V:\TOOLS) and run (DIAL.EXE)
30. You can dial one of these 4 numbers and find these 
results

001 949 555 01112 - *Operator* this request cannot be 
completed
001 714 555 0187 - Line Disconnect, 
001 213 555 0142 - Message from Morpheus. You are being 
watched for your actions. You are in trouble Trinity can 
help you.
001 310 555 0111 - Message from Trinity. Be careful. Gives 
you the code "942", 

31. Enter (DIR V:\ROOT) run program (PORTKEY.EXE)
32. Enter password 942 
33. Talk with Trinity. Reply with "Y" or "N." Experiment 
here and see what she says. You can type more then just "Y" 
and "N", but that will get you through the section faster
34. Trinity will give you (CRACK.EXE) and tell you to 
remember to crack the "8RAM"
35.Open (DIR V:\ROOT) run (CRACK.EXE). Enter (8RAM) to 
unlock the RAM drive
36. Enter (DIR RAM:\) to access RAM Drive
37. Run (DIR RAM:\PROG) to find (SWORD.DSK)
38. Run (DIR RAM:\TRINITY) and access (TRAINING.EXE)
39. Select (RAM:\PROG\SWORD.DSK) to unlock the use of the 
sword in the game.
******NOTE YOU CANNOT UNLOCK THE SWORD IN THE GAME UNLESS 
YOU ARE HACKING A COMPLETED SAVE FILE*****
40. Run (DIR RAM:\BIO to find GHOST.Bio / NIOBE.Bio
41 Run (DIR RAM:\TRINITY) to find the program (READBIO.EXE). 
You can now use this program to access stats on the 
character that corresponds to the save you are hacking off 
of
42. Run (DIR RAM:\Trinity) and download the (HANDSHAKE.EXE)
43. Run (HANDSHAKE.EXE) and start a discussion with SPARKS 
aboard the LOGOS
44. Talk to SPARKS. Again, experiment with what you say to 
him. I was joking around and said "I love you" and he 
responded that I was just another of his adoring fans "= P"
45. When he asks for it. Run (EMP.EXE). 
46. Just before you are done with Sparks, he will unlock the 
Training Construct for you to access from the loading 
screen.
47. You will also receive a message from Neo saying that he 
knows you are out there. He tells you to "follow the white 
rabbit" 
48.You will now be booted out of the system.
49. Re enter the hacking system to find that (DIR LOGOS:) 
has been opened
50. You can now access (DIR LOGOS:)
51. The (EMP.EXE) has been disconnected by Sparks so that 
you "do not hurt yourself"
52. You can now access Spark's files (DIR LOGOS:\SPARKS) and 
view some concept art from the game.


That is it for now. I will update this FAQ as I am able to 
dig deeper into the hacking program. There are still lots of 
things to be found (apparently). I also have to find out 
where this white rabbit is that Neo commented on.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
=======================================================================
Q: How do I unlock the multiplayer game?
A: Enter the cheat (D5C55D1E) in the hacking menu. Once this is done 
save your work and go to the loading screen. Load the save you just 
hacked the code for and look to the far left of the level select menu 
to find the multiplayer levels. Note that you need two controllers 
plugged into your system for the multiplayer levels to show up.

Q: Why does my game keep crashing at that one point? 
A: This could be due to a few things. The most common reason for this 
is the use of codes on certain levels. Namely the Airport levels for 
both characters. If you're using codes and this is happening, try 
turning them off and playing through the level. If the game still 
crashes it could be caused by a defective copy of the game or a scratch 
on the CD.

Q: How do I turn off codes?
A: Reset your system. Some codes can also be turned off by reentering 
them in the hacking program.

Q: How do I unlock the sword?
A: It is unlocked by completing the hacking program. Note that you need 
to have beaten the game on the save you are hacking in order to unlock 
the sword.

Q: Is there anything more to the hacking program?
A: I'm still unsure of this myself. With the decode.exe program there 
could be a lot of things that we have yet to find in the game. At the 
completion of the hacking you receive a message from Neo saying to 
"Follow the white rabbit." While this could just be a sound clip to 
keep you interested in the game, it may have some meaning. I have yet 
to find anything resembling the white rabbit so I am unsure of the 
meaning of the sound clip. For now I will say yes, there is nothing 
left in the hacking program.

Q: Is Neo/Trinity/Morpheus/Agent Smith playable in the game?
A: Unless you are playing the PC version, everyone listed above except 
Neo is available in the multiplayer game. The PC game only has Neo at 
the time being due to mods and skins imported to the game. Sorry, 
doesn't look like you get to play as "the one" in this one kids.

Q: Why can I not view the FMV's in the hacking program?
A: The most common answer to this question is that you have not 
unlocked all the FMV's in the game yet. You need to beat the game to 
unlock most of the FMV's in the game. You also need to do a few 
different things at different times in the game to unlock certain 
FMV's. To my knowledge, the PC version requires you to beat the game in 
order to unlock any of the FMV's. 

Q: How do I get into "insert name here" door in the training program?
A: You start off only being able to enter one room. You can then do a 
training mission inside this room. Score 20 or higher in this level to 
unlock the next brown door in the hallway and unlock the next training 
mission in this room. To unlock the silver doors in the next room you 
need to score 20 or higher on the sniper training mission in the 
shooting range.

=======================================================================
SECRETS
=======================================================================

- Upon beating the game with either character, you can now unlock the 
sword in the training.exe submenu in the hacking game. This sword can 
now be used by either characters on their second play through or even 
first play through of the game. The sword is not a regular weapon 
though. It does not appear in you equipment screen, and it is not 
viewable in your hands. The sword will appear once it is unlocked, when 
you perform a weapon disarm or a throw. While it may seem a little 
cheesy at first, it deals out a great deal of damage, and kills 
vampires without the need of a stake. The sword is so strong, that it 
can even take out the likes of Trinity, Seraph, Cujo, and Vlad in 
merely two or three attacks.
