The Remakes

APIDYA by Earok
- The “game hints” replace the Joypad/Joystick option, which had no tangible effect in gameplay (the memory address for that variable isn’t accessed during the main game). While it’s possible to use the second button on a megadrive pad, you’ve got to use the Second Btn option above that.
-
Level select replaces the sound test, though not entirely. You can still listen to a song from each level by selecting it and pressing fire, though you can’t listen to all of the sub songs, boss songs and secret level songs. Someone smarter than me could probably patch in a Level select into that options menu without removing the sound test
