Hack description

It's a hack, not a retranslation, although the script has been cleaned up. Lots of minor tweaks and things to make this my ideal version of the far superior USA release. There may even be some undocumented stuff I added...

Minor rewording in options menus.

Maximum number of lives in options menu increased to 5 (default is still 3).

Got rid of the annoying "press start to exit" feature in some menus.

Start button can now be used to confirm some options.

Start button can now be used to select your character.

Mission briefings can now be skipped by pressing the start button.

You can now hold buttons B & C to skip through text faster.

In-game font fixed such that lower-case characters are now usable.

Added an alternate font (activated with a code).

Added 'e accent aigu' for 'coup d'état'.

Script corrected, edited, and optimized.

Soft reset added.

For me the definitive way to play the original Hard corps.	redhotiron2004	2020-09-14	Version Super Cham
This enhancement hack makes it easier to navigate and doesn't waste your time. You can skip things and get to action fast as it should be. For me it is the definative way to play original Hard corps.
