TEST NOW: Contra III with SA-1 - Alpha Version
Added 2019-09-08 06:27:49 +0000 UTCThe first alpha version of the Contra III SA-1 is finally out! You can download here: https://sneslab.net/sa1/Contra-III-Alpha-1.bps - This initial release is exclusive for all of my patrons!
Remember that this is a BPS patch! If you would like to learn more how they work and how to patch them, check out this article I made on SnesLab: https://sneslab.net/wiki/How_to_apply_ROM_patches. Make sure to apply it to the USA ROM. If your ROM file is "Contra III - The Alien Wars (USA).sfc", it will likely work! The European and Japanese versions are not supported yet.
Currently this patch eliminates all slowdown but there are several issues to be fixed, since this is the very alpha release of it. I will be fixing them according the time and update the patch with more improvements. Don't get scared if you see something out of hand!
For sending me bug reports, feel free to message me directly on Discord Vitor Vilela#1930 or via SnesLab #sa1 channel. Make sure to include a screenshot or video + your current save file.
Have fun!!
----- List of issues that I'm already aware of/not fixed yet ------
- The intro is so fast that the music gets out of sync.
- The second boss is moving weirdly
- The lives counter on options shows "HH" instead of the proper value.
- REST displays "22" regardless of how many lives you have when you enter a new stage.
- The first boss's paws does not appear to be visually correct.

2019-09-23 06:16:24 +0000 UTCcan't edit my post here? anyway...when I beat 2nd boss I found that the REST seems OK...didn't notice much problem with 1st boss maybe I was just too busy fighting it. the bomb animation without slow down is really out of sync with sound effect but it's a chicken and egg problem. konami made the song effect longer to fit with the slowed down game I suppose. anyway thanks for the great work!
