I think squide37 got it right. Pretty sure the "B A" is only inputed once. Don't feel like confirming it though... NES is in storage along with games...
BTW, will the rock band stuff work with Frets on Fire?

Well the Contra code was "B A B A Start." Other Konami games (I remember a TMNT game for example) had variations of the code, including some that only had one set of "B A". :)
