Title: Matrix Code
Post by: smilodon on May 25, 2003, 02:06:43 AM
Thought I'd drop this in a new thread.

I've just spent the last two hours crawling across the hidden area of the Matrix Reloaed web site.  I've been downloading models of the ships, interviews, Quicktime clips, storyboards and all sorts. I found most of the codes by spending another hour or so inside the hacking section of the game.


I could make a cheesy reference to The Rabbit Hole...and how deep it goes... but I shan't.

Hacking Explained.
To begin hacking you must have a saved game. Select hacking from the main menu, select your saved game.
You will see a keyboard to the lower right and a command list to the lower left.
The command list contains only two options at the moment but it will soon fill.

Select HELP from the list and press enter on the keyboard. As the example suggests, select HELP then type DIR and press enter.
You’ll notice now, that DIR has become an option in your command list. This happens a lot throughout hacking- you must first type the command, after that it is available in your command list.
Select DIR then A:
You will be presented with the contents of drive A:
SYSTEM
TOOLS
TEXT
Select DIR, A: SYSTEM. You are given:-
REBOOT.EXE
HELP.EXE
CLS.EXE
LOGIN.EXE
DIR.EXE
EXIT.EXE
READ.EXE
ECHO.EXE

To use any of these, simply type them in using your keyboard. After that they will be available in your command list. DON’T use REBOOT.EXE as it wipes all your hacking progress.
HELP.EXE, DIR.EXE and EXIT.EXE can be ignored because they are already in your command list.
CLS is simply a tool to clear your screen of text.
LOGIN.EXE prompts you for a password. You can type GUEST as suggested, or you can type FREEMIND to hear messages from MORPHEUS. Both gain you entry into Media Drive B:
Select DIR, A:/TOOLS.
The available tools are
VIBRATION.EXE
BEEP.EXE
CHEAT.EXE
The first two explain themselves when opened. The third is one you’ll probably use most and one we’ll discuss later. Type them all so they’re in your command list.
DIR, A:/TEXT shows a list of viewable TXT files. These can be accessed by choosing READ from the command list, then picking a file.
Of particular interest is the first file named NOTEZ, as it contains a password for access to a VIRTUAL drive later. That password is FROZENFISH.

Now we can explore the Media drive B:
DIR, B: you are presented with the contents of B:
ID
GUNS
FMV
MAPS
CARS
TOOLS

ID, GUNS and CARS contain images from the game. FMV contains film clips.
However, you can’t access these without the proper viewing TOOLS. So first select,
DIR, B:/TOOLS
You will now be told that TOOLS is locked with a 5 digit binary encryption code.
This means that the password is 5 digits long and contains only ones and zeros.
The password must be guessed, but with each attempt, you are told how close you were.
The password changes for each save game so you’ll have to figure this part out yourself.
Here’s an example of my attempt.
11111
“2 digits correct, 2 in right place”
11000
“5 digits correct, 3 in right place”
10100
“CORRECT” You are now presented with a list of TOOLS for drive B:
VIEW.EXE
VIRTUAL.EXE
TRACEKILL.EXE
DROP.EXE
PLAY.EXE
DECODE.EXE

VIEW lets you see all .IMG files in B:/ID, GUNS, MAPS and CARS.
PLAY lets you view all .FMV files in B:/FMV
You can only view files that have already been opened or seen in the game proper. Complete the game for best results!
DROP.EXE enables you to DROP weapons into the game that can be picked up at drop off points during some levels. To do this, and to see which levels you can do it on, you must VIEW the MAPS in drive B: Take note of the code in the lower left corner of the map and input it after selecting DROP from the command menu.
TRACEKILL.EXE stops any traces that are running on you, but you won’t have any yet.
VIRTUAL.EXE will prompt you for a password, which we now have. FROZENFISH.
An authentication test will start. An image of a Chinese symbol will appear, but it will be scrambled. The image is broken into 9 squares, and each square will have five different choices. You must change all the pieces so that a complete image appears. You have a limited amount of time to do this. Once you guess a correct image, the timer will stop and you will be taken back to the hacking screen. Look at the top of the screen. If it says "Solution: Blue", then the line will be traced and you will have to enter TRACEKILL and then press enter as fast as possible or all progress will be lost. Once you enter TRACEKILL, you will have to start back at accessing VIRTUAL on your command list. However, solve all the symbols, it says "Solution: Red", then you will hear a message from Neo and get access to the V Drive.

Select DIR, V:
V: contains:-
TOOLS
ROOT
ROOT is not accessible yet so
select DIR, V:/TOOLS to be shown
ROOTSEARCH.EXE
DIAL.EXE
Type ROOTSEARCH.EXE This will eventually give you a password. THISISNOTREAL
Now you can access ROOT. (DIR, V:/ROOT) In ROOT is
MAIL.EXE
PORTKEY.EXE
Type MAIL.EXE and type the password, (THISISNOTREAL). You are then asked if you want to read your mail. Type Y then enter.
You will be given a list of phone numbers.
001-949-555-0112
001-714-555-0187
001-213-555-0142
001-310-555-0111

Type DIAL.EXE to enable the DIAL command. Then select DIAL from the command list, then type the 3rd phone number to hear from Morpheus.
Repeat with the 4th phone number to hear from Trinity. The 1st two numbers are dummies.
Trinity will tell you to use code 942.
Select DIR, V:/ROOT
Now manually type PORTKEY.EXE
Select PORTKEY from the command options and type 942 after it.
Trinity now contacts you, and gives you a CRACK.EXE file and the code that goes with it 8RAM.
The CRACK.EXE file appears in DIR, V:/ROOT but there is no need to access it this way as it is already in your command list now.
Select CRACK then type 8RAM.

The RAM directory can now be accessed via DIR, RAM and it’s contents are listed as:-
TRINITY
PROG
BIO
DIR, RAM:/BIO will tell you the available character BIO. Either NIOBE or GHOST, depending on who you’re playing as. You wont be able to access the bio from here though.
Similarly with PROG. It tells you available programmes that can be downloaded. But you can’t download them from here. The programme that exists here is SWORD.DSK.
DIR, RAM:/TRINITY contains:-
TRAINING.EXE
HANDSHAKE.EXE
READBIO.EXE
Manually type READBIO.EXE then select it from the command list to read a BIO on your character.
Repeat with TRAINING.EXE, allowing you to open SWORD.DSK.
This is really cool as it enables the sword weapon in the in the game!

Now type HANDSHAKE.EXE, this opens up a channel to Sparks on the Logos.
He asks you to run EMP.EXE which can be found via DIR, LOGOS:/SPARKS, but again this is not necessary as it has automatically appeared in your command list.
Simply select EMP. Some more text from Sparks and THAT IT!
Hacking complete. If you go back in though, look in DIR, LOGOS:/ART to see loads of cool concept pics. Just use the VIEW command and scroll down until you see pic titles starting with LOGOS…
True to his word, Sparks has also unlocked MULTIPLAYER.



Upon completing the game, after the credits roll, a cheat code is given. Write it down quickly because it doesn’t stay for long. (If you missed it, see the list of codes further down).
Enter this code by selecting CHEAT from the command list, them typing the code.
When you next load the game, at the level selection screen, you can choose to enter Sparx’s Training Level.
Here is a long corridor with doors on either side. Only one is open at the moment.
It is a firing range. Press the button on the wall and run to the back wall to pick up some guns. You must prevent the SWAT soldiers from reaching the tables.

I’ve only managed 17 kills so far but update this post as progression is made.


Here is list of cheat codes. I don’t know if they work because I’m trying to discover all the codes myself, within the game and through hacking. But if you don’t have the patience….well, enjoy!

Maximum Firepower: 0034AFFF

VIRTUAL, password FROZENFISH - complete the red puzzle shape, if you get it wrong and do the blue one, type TRACEKILL to continue (before the timer runs out)then try again. This will allow access to V:

Use ROOTSEARCH to get password, Use MAIL with password for phone numbers, use DIAL to call Morpheus on 001 213 555 0142, then call Trinity on 001 310 555 0111.

type PORTKEY 942 to gain direct access to Trinity.
Then CRACK 8RAM, you can know access RAM:

Two days of my graft summarised in one page :!:  

Wish I'd waited for this post before I started hacking...I'd have got my weekend back :)
