[/quote]It isn't exactly a mapper fix. Desert Storm was ripped from the multi and was assigned standard MMC3 mapper. The VT03 version is completely different in palette coloring and, btw, that version appeared on the WXN pack. Tried running it on EmuVT but failed. :\- Title: Desert Storm
Post by: casperdj777 on March 28, 2013, 04:35:40 PM- I ment I was glad the the 120-in-1 was working not the single dump .
I thought it was the mapper that wasn't right & thats why it wasn't playing.
whatever the error was I'm just glad it was fixed. ok enuff of this bickering im off to work .- Title: Desert Storm

Post by: Linkrulezall on June 13, 2013, 01:18:19 AM- Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I've found some rather interesting techniques, exploits, etc. I also intend to make a playthrough soon.
-If you keep a spawn point at the edge of the screen and keep shooting the things that come out of it, you can get a boatload of extra lives. This is especially easy on level 2A with the flame gun and one of those spinning pac-man spawners. I recorded a short video of this and will probably toss it on YouTube soon.
-The climbing mechanic is a total crapshoot. It seems that what you have to do is hold up and shoot in order to grab on to a platform or chain, but it only works when it wants to.
-More Super C rippage, in the form of the little blobs that the 4th boss drops that squiggle along the floor. They also seem to use the exact same code as in Super Contra 7, where they dropped out of the final boss's eyes. While on that subject:
-The game's engine is way, way too similar to Super Contra 7's engine. The enemy movement, the physics, the scrolling, it all feels exactly the same. Level 4A also seems to use many of the same graphics and (I think) the same layout as level 2 from SC7.
-The continue code Iniche mentioned is actually just as simple as spamming the start button after you get a game over.
-The first boss can be easily broken by laying down in the left corner and holding down the fire button. Nothing will be able to kill you, even when it looks like it should.
Well, there's all my assorted observations. Someone should go through the rom with a tile editor and see if there's any leftover Contra sprites or terrain in there.
Update:
Today I was determined to beat this game, but kept dying on level 3 and continuing. As a result, the palette eventually started getting worse every time the screen changed.Spoiler: click to toggle- Title: Desert Storm

Post by: KAGE-008 on June 13, 2013, 08:57:41 PM- That only happens in the actual ROM of the multi. I played the ripped ROM, kept dying at level 3 and nothing happened.
