Hack description
The Sega Arcade Gallery is a nice compilation of Super Scaler games for the
GBA - Space Harrier, After Burner, OutRun, and Super Hang-On. The ports are
decently made (except maybe After Burner) but have one huge drawback: they
don't save your high scores. What's the point of trying to top the leaderboard
in Space Harrier if it resets every time the GBA powers off?
This patch aims to fix that. Now you can record your best times and routes in
OutRun! All four games should save automatically after putting in your
initials on the high-score screen. Also included are the ASM fragments used
to implement this.
(By the way, it is possible to barrel roll in After Burner. Hold L and R while moving the D-pad from side to side.)
