It's not about bugs, it's about CAVE's last bosses since the original Dodonpachi have the ability to generate a shield when the player is invincible(at the start of a new life, after using a bomb, etc), such that the player have to defeat them fair and square, as overwhelming them with extra lives won't work. In the older games, the 'shield' used different logics such that locking the player's invincibility timer doesn't make the bosses do the same. However in Daifukkatsu and Saidaioujou, the boss WILL be invincible when you are as well. You're able to 'destroy' the boss only because the boss has to self destruct after a certain time, since this is an arcade game, it can't make one player stay in a stalemate forever, it needs the next player to throw in some coins.

My cheats can make sure you meet Inbachi, though I can use some help figuring out how to disable her shields. There's not an address for its on/off status, this much I've learned. Also, the patch seems to have left out Hibachi and Inbachi, along with their warning message.

Forget about Saya, she's X360 exclusive. Other than that: 0C5F9B33: Invincibility Timer 0C5F9C57: Hyper Counter 0C5F9C63: Rank 0C5F9B77: Combo Gauge 0C5F9B7B: Also Combo Gauge, use toghether 0C5F9CF7: Bee Counter - Current Stage 0C5F9D23: Bee Counter - Universal

@ByeKitty In case you need to know, The TLB's are still sans

@Hyperscorpio Actually, Deathsmiles 2 is already emulated, or rather cracked since It is on 'CAVE PC' system which uses PC hardware. I don't expect this kind of game to be playable in MAME though.

Look, I don't like this hack and want a normal version too, but know that neither cavedweller nor houb are obliged to do anything they did to begin with, right? They could have not released anything for you to play at all, they could have not shown you that a reverse edit is viable, but they did, and as someone who didn't even lift a finger to contribute anything, you should be thankful that you're getting stuff for free at all. If you want a 'hero' to magically grant you any wish you want, then go be that hero yourself. Work it out with your own effort rather than complaining about others not satisfying you.
