As you may know, Slap Fight MD's shield normally never times out. This is an annoying blemish on an otherwise stellar package, since besides making things too comfy, that beeping was clearly never meant to be heard for extended periods (even worse, it cramps the killer Koshiro original BGM). Having noticed something about a "shield timer config" option in Slap Fight MD's Wikipedia entry, I went digging... courtesy of
GameFAQs, salvation has arrived! Press A+B+C at the Options menu to enter Toaplan mode (you can also do it again to exit). Now the shield will time out just like in the arcade version!

^ thanks!
It also expands the difficulty selection with a range of "NormalX" settings where X is the digit of your choice - I guess this may be the shield timing config wiki mentions, but I've not bothered with it yet. EDIT: nope, it's a loop select with "x" the starting loop of choice.
