Demo recording?

5B88:4E71 skips over a jump that changes the text PRESS START in the demo gameplay to JOY REC. The jump takes effect if word $FFF2FE <= 0; there is code to clear and a lot of other tests of that value...

Debug printing?

$3D56 checks word $FFF066; if != 0 then it prints some strings TEKI: MAP: SAX: SAY: EASY NORM HARD MANI - is this debug? The address is the first entry in a table jumped by the game at various points (at the start of a level) but IDK how to get word $FFF272 (the index) to be 0...

Well-known secrets, not sure if they belong. Also TODO

• all weapons cheat
• OMAKEBGM songs (are these on the OST?) when you win
• gamefaqs lists a 99 lives cheat that looks suspicious
• OST has some more complete arrangements, most notably Stand Up Against Myself (which is very short in the game) - are these hidden in the ROM?
