Hack description

Contra III: The Alien Wars uses slow memory banks (it's a SlowROM game), this patch moves all important banks to the fast location.
Now the game has way less slowdown.

This is a good solution for cheap flashcarts users.

Version 1.1: Fixed difficulty level selection glitch. More optimizations were made.

Great addition!	Pethronos	2021-11-23	Version 1.0
Given that Vitela's SA-1 patches don't work in any flashcart (and his Contra III one is not completely finished), this is a great way to play this great game more smoothly. Only one little issue, level selection doesn't work pressing right, only left. I think it doesn't affect anything more. Now go for Super R-Type lol! (It would be a really nice Christmas present ;D )

Also works great with the SNES Classic	Samus12345	2021-11-23	Version 1.0
One big problem with the SA-1 patch for Contra III is that save states don't work properly with the stock emulator on the SNES Classic, but this patch works with it without issue.
