How many ACE mode has Pokémon Gold and Silver?

Umm, for Gold/Silver we have the following ACE methods;

1. Coin Case
2. Wrong pocket TMs
3. Move 0x00's type 0xD0 arbitrary code execution

ACE within ACE: FF80 ACE

Crystal has a few more:

1. 0x15 control character ACE
2. Burned Tower Silver wrong side glitches

Edit: Ah, also remote code execution :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8CO_e_rKd8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exbS3yO45k0

Edit 2:

Stack smash ACE
Glitch Pokédex mode ACE
CartSwap ACE

Hope this helps :)

Little helper code which might be useful to someone else as well:
Maximize all PC items (quantity x 255) while leaving the item type unchanged.

1)  A  p  'v  5  é  4  2  5 XOR A; SUB fb; LD [faf8], A | A->05
2)  'v  9  é  /  2  p  'v  . SUB ff; LD [f3f8], A; XOR A; SUB e8 | A->06; A->18
3)  é  0  2  'v  2  é  5  2 LD [f6f8], A; SUB f8; LD [fbf8], A | A->20
4)  'v  9  é    2  'v  9  5 SUB ff; LD [f5f8], A; SUB ff | A->21; A->22
5)  é  2  2  'v  9  é  3  2 LD [f8f8], A; SUB ff; LD [f9f8], A | A->23
6)  'v    é  ,  2  0  9  9 SUB f1; LD [f4f8], A; OR ff; LD B, 32 | A->32
7)  0  0  0  5  5  5  5  5 LD HL, 18f6; LD [HLI], A; INC HL; DEC B; JR NZ, fb | HL->f618
8)  x  'd OR A; RET NC


Fun little thing about x0 quantity (at least in the PC):
You can withdraw/toss any quantity you want, it won't change the quantity of the item. While tossing obviously does nothing, withdrawing works without problems (creates items).
Depositing an additional item of the type simply adds the amount which restores normal functionality.
Possibly also works in the inventory to give you an infinite amount of an item, but I didn't test that.

This code works with TM17 or TM25, but it also corrupted my save file lol.

The player sprite changed (fixed when using surf or fly), opening the Pokédex crash the game (hear the Bellsprout cry from the party as a possible workaround), I can't get off the train when travelling between Johto and Kanto and possibly some more stuff is broken that I haven't noticed yet.

Now I'm looking for a cheap cart reader to backup and fix the save on a PC.
