Battle Bakraid Rank Display Patch

Post by trap15 »

Quickly hacked this up last night. Displays rank where the high score should be, and shows deltas in the blank space above that. Also automatically unlocks boss rush and level 3 character select.

Most of this code originally existed in Bakraid, I just had to enable it (and make a few tweaks).

This will apply correctly to both the US and Japanese versions.

Hashes:

Code: Select all

prg0u022.new (Japan, set bbakraidj)
       CRC(3611bfe7) SHA1(15d979f19268375cc30f79520b74c9b9cdc51139)
prg0u022_usa.bin (US, set bbakraid)
       CRC(5967a8c9) SHA1(c155c3f3ca3b93c8d34550bb99586a6dc852a03b)
prg1u023.new
       CRC(7324586d) SHA1(3fb2db234746b5c9035079d2ede83e2ef60d61bd)
prg2u021.bin
       CRC(85013656) SHA1(44175f784b49536c0552c01a44da719092598db7)
prg3u024.bin

I've been loving myself an abnormally high amount of Bakraid lately, and I will definitely try this out.

Also, Raizing C&D letter incoming :lol:

Does that mean this won't work in Unlimited version?

Thanks again for making happiness

Not to take anything away from your efforts, I think there's an in-game code you can do to display rank anyway iirc (without losing the score - I think it displays on the left side?)

No there isn't. That's the enemy score display thing.

The rank code that's in there only works if you're in Debug mode (can only be done if you set the checksums to 0), and you do something else (which I don't know of). And that just displays the rank over the high score.

Cool, I'm definitely remembering something incorrectly then. :wink:

I was just using it on the US Unlimited Version, and it works.

Haven't tried any other versions yet.

Glad to see you inspired by Keigox68000's garegga rom hack. :) I had been hoping he would do this for Bakraid!

Yup, you got me :D That hack made Garegga a lot easier to deal with.

It can be, if you burn the ROMs.
