...made three years later OI

I have looked through this title at least three times trying to find either an endinig or a staff roll. This is the ending; after this the game is written to just add one to the level counter and go tot he next level, which crashes the game. (What does the kanji say?) But there's a screenshot of a staff roll on GameFAQs. The Super Famicom staff roll is slightly different (black background and a different starfield) and the SNES one is totally different. Does anyone know anything about this? I can keep looking...

Is there a way to enter your name other than by dying? There's some code that implies you can at around $815C (which jumps into the level end routine and waits for a return, then calls the score tally, then the name entry, then jumps back to the Sega screen...)

There's an options screen. You can jump right into it from the title screen with FFFFF0:01. It looks like the only code that writes 1 to that value is... the options screen code? Is there a documented other way to get in here? There are some other weird things with that screen (max round select?) but I can look those up later...

helpful codes:
354:60 bypass checksum
FFF5D4:000[0-9] level counter
FFF420:FFFF automatically win battles

Thanks.

"The End" more or less

Are you sure it isn't an emulator issue?

I traced the code and that's what it seems to do; if this is an emulator bug then herp derp

Also it turns out the options screen is up+start on the title screen



EDIT
hm, looking at the SFC video again, it looks like the ending I'm getting comes after the staff roll... followed by the score tally and name entry...

EDIT
yep turns out I was totally wrong there's another part after the final stage that somehow using the patch codes I gave above skipped over... derp
now I have a million codes that skip over the final area and let me see the credits, whose roles are in kanji so I'll worry about it later
Thanks anyway!

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
