The patch is easy to apply you just need the rom.
Instructions in the readme.

Don't expect a different game though this is my first rom hack. I just altered some things to give myself something different to play once in a while instead of the original.

Changes are:
Only have 1 ship/life
Disabled 1 ups
No continues
Ship and weapon colors changed
Slight modifications to hud
Some sound fx have been changed or muted if annoying(blue comets)
Power up behavior altered (no sway)
Only need to put the difficulty code in once for all difficulty settings to be available
Speed starts at level 3 instead of 2
Disabled sound test screen do to level select cheats
a few other small things possibly

Let me know if you find any bugs or problems, and let me know if it works fine on an everdrive (I haven't got around to getting one yet) I tested this in the three emulators and didn't find any problems yet.

If you don't need more of a challenge it may be fun to play through a few times and see how far you can get.

Cool, man.  I look forward to trying this out and seeing what's different.

I am very much looking forward to trying this when I get home from vacation.

I'd still appreciate a general description of what's changed when you have you the time.

Just downloaded. Most likely will try it out this weekend after getting a wisdom tooth pulled and on vicodin and beer. With my Everdrive and SuperGrafx.

Cool!

I don't think that I've seen a "hack" like this on the PCE, it's nice to see such a good game getting a bit of love.

Thanks.

That's awesome... I'llI'll fire it up shortly.

So what changes have you made..?

[esteban]

OMG!

Yet one more reason I need to figure out how to use my TED.

SD card + card reader...I need to get those items.

"mission 1 has failed"

I'm glad someone did a sequel to Gunhed that follows the ending that I always get when playing shooters: game over

Maybe if I update this i can alter the story a bit.. Punch has failed and destroyed all the standard Gunhed ships 

Ok I updated the first post with the changes

I was going to mod a few of the weapons but then it would have made the game easier and my initial goal was just to make a 1 life mode of the game.

Was thinking about starting a high score thread but instead of a high score the goal is just to pass the game and we could just list people in order.

1 life?  I'm f*cked.

[esteban]

I might have to try th

1 life?  I'm f*cked.

You still gotta try it and see how far you get 
Its probably easier than the last two difficulties in the original game.

Awesome! I'll have to give it a shot.

Last I checked, the graphics are uncompressed but stored in a weird 3bit odd tile format (title screen is 8x7 tile format). Have you thought about doing a graphic hack?

Can someone PM me some info on where to find the file needed to apply this patch? I've tried numerous versions and keep getting a checksum error.
