Did you tried this:
BANNED TECHNIQUE : 255 lives (it's possible to win 255 lives on the first screen, but only if an apple appears in the top two rows of the playfield ; begin by digging a tunnel directly from the bottom of the screen to just below the apple, but leave enough dirt under it that it doesn't fall ; next, kill all of the enemies but one, then lose all of your extra lives ; as soon as you're on your last life, go right under the apple and wait ; eventually, the remaining enemy will come after you ; allow the apple to drop, but, in the interval before you're squashed, kill the enemy with the powerball ; if all has gone well, you'll be carried to the bottom of the screen, the music will go haywire for a moment, and you'll be awarded 255 extra lives)

hi. thanks for reply. I have tried this many times on the Taito version of macmame. i don't know if it's my timing or game settings, or trying the wrong apple but I can't make it work. if i had a video to see it would probably help. cheers

Go here: http://marp.retrogames.com/weird.htm
or click on 'Index' (on menu at top of screen) and then Weird Things, and search for mrdo - you'll find the trick 2nd from the bottom of the list.
