This is a custom game modified with a slew of different changes to make gameplay even better!
Ability to save
Copyright screen can now be skipped by pressing the start button
Minor rewording in options menus
Maximum number of lives in options menu increased to 10 (default is still 3)
Got rid of the annoying “press start to exit” feature in some menus
Start button can now be used to confirm some options
Start button can now be used to select your character
Mission briefings can now be skipped by pressing the start button
You can now hold buttons B & C to skip through text faster
In-game font fixed such that lower-case characters are now usable
Added an alternate font (activated with a code)
Added ‘e accent aigu’ for ‘coup d’état’
Script corrected, edited, and optimized
Soft reset added
Ability to take three hits, complete with the life bar.
The 3 cheat codes that were also present in the Japanese version but removed from the US version have been restored (Note, however, that unlike the Japanese version, these codes are entered on controller ONE.)
Player 1 and Player 2 can now select the same character.
A new code is available that takes you to the game’s debug level! (Press Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, C, B, A, Up Down.)
Holding the button down switches to stationary aiming while firing (Shot II), releasing it returns you to normal (Shot I) similar to how the R button works in Contra 3 on SNES.
Fully tested at factory and works perfectly on American and European consoles.
