It appears being annoyed is a great motivator. That said, I present a small IPS patch to Battle Garegga to make me less annoyed. Maybe someone else will find it useful.
Contained in this zip file are two very small IPS files; which rom they apply to should be obvious.
Changes:
- Mahou characters are unlocked. No more konami code every credit!
- Rank no longer gets worse with every game played. You won’t have to reset your board after a bunch of consecutive plays to restore default rank
One note: since I’m lazy I took the easy way out for getting around the ROM checks. They always say ‘OK’ even if whatever it’s testing is totally screwed up. I couldn’t find where the ROM0 signature was (I found ROM1) and I got tired of looking at it; so I punted.
One possibility for a future improvement might be to restore the ‘dropped item’ to its “first credit” state for every credit. However, having the item type roll over between credits doesn’t annoy me enough to justify the work it would take me.
