So was it just not attainable originally? What was the issue? The vanilla versions of the game (v1.002 and v1.005) have a bug where the highest attainable rank is "General of the Army" which equates to 990 points, 10 points shy of the 1000 max point total needed for "Super Devil". Interesting. So did the patch just add 10 points in somewhere? Great idea on the AR code if its doable too btw zyrobs

It could either add 10 points or just make 990 the required value in the unlock devil mode test. Adding is probably more "accurate".

It basically adds 10 points. When I loaded up my save file with 990 points, I now had 1000 points with Super Devil rank

I absolutely adore Metal Slug and I had NO IDEA that this was a thing, now I need to replay it on the PS1 to unlock this mode!

Play it on the Saturn fella, it blows the PS1 version away in comparison with none of that mid level loading.

Big money for those of us with unmodded hardware though....I watched a YT play of the Saturn port and it looked far better than I expected it too. I don't know why - but I had the impression that it wasn't that great - not sure how I got that impression. I presume the RAM cart allows the whole level to be loaded at one go?
I used to own Metal Slug X on PS1 and it was a nice port but I expect it has compromises that I cannot remember..

Problem is that i'm kinda lazy to bust out the old saturn, I was thinking of just emulating it on my Retropie, but saturn emulation there blows.
