Hi. I'm studying about a hack I have in mind. I know that Soul Calibur has its best version on Dreamcast hardware, but it is a home version after all: many game modes, allows pause in combat...Not the real spirit.
I'm going to put a Dreamcast inside a Naomi Universal cabinet with this game, and I would like to make an arcade hack of this game to make it feel like Namco System 256 game, I don't know if I'm explaining well.
The game should work as follows:
- Constant loop between main menu, intro video and demos. Until this it's the same working game.
- When pressing start of the player 1 or player 2, we should enter directly in the arcade mode, not to the main menu list of game modes / options.
- We play normally in this mode, and die, etc...
- Pause mode isn't allowed. It's a real arcade game.
- It would be good to make a "dipswitch mode" (using another shortcut button as trigger), that make us enter directly to "options" mode to adjust the parameters and save.
What do you think about? Would it be really possible?
