Hack description

In this archive, you will find three IPS files. Each updates the title screen to look more
professional, and more arcade-like, instead of a big ugly block.

They also affect the rate of fire (speed of firing shots) as follows:

Galaxian (J) [SuperFireMod] [TitleMod] [Final]
Approximately 3x faster, and far more enjoyable, but still challenging.

Galaxian (J) [TurboFireMod] [TitleMod] [Final]
Many times faster, and makes the game easier, but not too easy.

Galaxian (J) [HyperFireMod] [TitleMod] [Final]
The fastest 'safe' setting. Ultra-fast firing. The game is very easy until at least wave 10.

NOTE: Despite what the readme claims, the patches only work on the 24 KB overdump ROM.

Can you do that with Galaga too??Greyfox2016-01-03Version 1.0

Nice enhancement, making the game cooler to play, I love it! The challenge remains, but it seems that the game is more arcade style right now! Highly recommended.
