So I was interested in picking up UN Squadron as a speedgame, just from having a blast playing the game casually. And in that regard I was messing a bit with disassembling the game etc. Ended up making a practice hack.

You can find it and download the .sfc file on https://milde.no/public/uns/.

It might only work on sd2snes, I haven't tested on anything else yet.

Features:

• Select+L = Save state (on sd2snes only)
• Select+R = Load state (on sd2snes only)
• Hold AX on ctrl 2 to select any mission, ship or equipment.
• Hold dpad left & press Select on ctrl 2 to get invulnerable during a mission.
• Hold L on ctrl 2 for slowdown
• Hold R on ctrl 2 for pause

Everything but the manual save states was coded into the game already, and used by the developers, but obviously removed before release.

Hey - may I ask what kind of dosbox settings you use @unspentskillpoints? Depending on the "cycles" settings, the "Fastest speed" feature in this game will differ. Loading time between screens will too. I'm assuming it's 3000 since it looks like that, and I think that's the default too.

Also, would rebinding keys be allowed do you think? F1-F12 has to be the most horrible keybindings in gaming. :)
