Rom hack of Desert Strike for the Mega Drive adding 6button + SRAM supportHack features:a more robust save system, “campaign mode”.stage unlocked for selection in the main menu when cleared in “campaign mode”. per stage high score displayed on the main menu 6 button support. implements the unused altitude control code found in the original ROM Copilot bios shortened/altered to reflect their effect on the rage attributes. A description of the copilot range attributes was added to the bio. copilot winch activation values spread further apart to have a more obvious difference in gameplay. copilots are marked as TDY (Temporary Duty Yonder) until unlocked by clearing missions in “campaign mode” The location of MIA copilot “Carlos” was changed. Copilot select menu activated at every stage change unless starting stage from the main menu with a non-MIA copilot. flying the helicopter without a copilot sets range attributes to very low number of lives carried over to the next stage. The game restarts to the title screen after the game over screen.version historyv1.4bug fix - overriding a save of a previously cleared stage would lock following unlocked stagesv1.3bug fix - stage 3 mission 8 bus not turning when mode pressedv1.2bug fix - loading campaign still has MIA copilot locked after rescued.bug fix - mission 3 shows 2 power plants on the map.bazooka soldier height value adjusted, was causing a collision with the chopper on a lower altitudev1.1bug fix - mission 4 unlocked shows a random high score.See the readme for further details.
