Same deal as the ESP Ra. De. patch: this one adds Free Play in lieu of the 3 coins / 1 play option. This is a patch of the international version, of ROM set "ddonpach".

Donation info if that's your thing: PayPal: mikejmoffitt@gmail.com

* License screen print is sped up
* In normal coin mode, behavior matches original released game
* "CREDITS" count is not shown when in free play (less text burn-in in attract)
* Join-in and continue works as expected

Great work... now I just need to find a DoDonPachi PCB for a reasonable price :D

It always astounds me when games don't offer a freeplay setting.

I picked up a Strikers 1945 recently and the manual shows jumper settings for freeplay but it doesn't actually work, supposedly it's a bug.

Lack of Free play in TMNT is super annoying. TMNT2 has a freeplay mode but disables attract mode and just shows a full screen static image which is burn-in city.

I expect that from early 80s era stuff but there's no excuse for games in the 90s without a proper freeplay setting.
 
Excellent work! Thanks again!

I wondered about this too. Gunbird's free play works just fine. Since the two games are very similar, it might be easy to figure out if it's just a bug? Wink wink, @mikejmoffitt ;)
