Hack: “No Ads” Patch

During gameplay, small text “advertisements” keep appearing randomly on screen that read “Nintendo Virtual Boy”, “T&E Soft Presents” or “Redalarm”. If your system is low on power, the text “Batteries Low” will also appear. This patch removes all of those messages except the latter.

Hack: Debug Camera Restoration Patch

A debug mode for adjusting the camera’s stereoscopic settings exists in the ROM, seemingly inaccessible in the final build. This patch attempts to restore this feature in the US version. It can be used in conjunction with the save patch if desired.

Controls:

  • Hold Select between shots to trigger the debug camera
  • Left D-Pad Left/Left D-Pad Right: Adjust Z-axis
  • Left D-Pad Up/Left D-Pad Down: Adjust depth
  • Right D-Pad Up/Right D-Pad Down: Move 2D elements like the minimap in/out of screen
  • Right D-Pad Left/Right D-Pad Right: Render out a new frame with current settings
  • Cancel (B or L Trigger in Control Set A, A or R Trigger in Set B): Exit debug camera

This patch is far from a perfect restoration of the debug functionality. It’s unknown where or how it would originally be triggered. The way it’s triggered in this patch, it can only be enabled once per shot and the debug text does not update cleanly, rendering over the top of the previous values until the digits become unreadable. Rendering out a new frame with the Right D-Pad temporarily resolves the issue.
