Hack description

Apply patch to headered Star Fox v1.2 rom.

This patch is another project brought to you by kandowontu and the Starfox Exploration Discord Server!

By putting a mouse onto port 2, you can now control the ship!

Left mouse button - Fire

Right mouse button - Bomb

Both buttons at the same time - BOOST or BRAKE
Double clicking both buttons within 9 frames will swap the mode from Boost-Brake.

You can move by aiming the mouse, as well as move by using the dpad on port 1.

Enjoy! This rom comes packed with Crosshair always on, 21mhz SuperFX, and FASTROM enabled!

Sort-of greatBulkSlash2022-02-09Version 1.0

I would definitely be able to recommend this but for one problem- for me the mouse is inverted. In regular Starfox up on the d-pad is dive and down is climb, like flying a plane. However with the mouse it's the reverse and I just can't get used to it. I think if there was an alternate patch which flipped up and down this would be awesome.

(Note: I just bought a Hyperkin SNES mouse for this, so it's entirely possible it's my mouse).
