This made all the difference in the world. I went from being overwhelmed and bombarded to owning the game with this simple adjustment. Many thanks!

Being able to use the shoulder button for stationary fire makes a huge difference, love it. If possible, I would really like it if the "A" button could be changed to only switch weapon, because as is, you still need to be stationary to switch your weapon or it will toggle your fire mode. The ability to switch weapon while running would fix the last quibble I have with this game.

I found constantly toggling between firing modes awkward, this feels way more natural and it makes you wonder why it wasn't already like this for 6 button controllers. My only concern is why it couldn't have been assigned to the X, Y, or Z buttons, since I had to map the mode button to one of the shoulder buttons.

Compared to Contra 3, Hard Corps has long felt handicapped by its more limited controls. This patch takes one of the best features of the SNES control scheme and makes it feel natural in the Genesis game, markedly improving the basic gameplay. You won't want to go back.
