Turtles free play and button hack?

[aerobert]

Is there a ROM hack available for original TMNT (2-players) that adds free play and swaps the attack/jump button?

Would be nice to throw it in there when I'm swapping my 4 player board for 2 player roms anyway.

I don't think there is one.

There's one for Turtles In Time though:

Thanks, found that thread before. It's not a major thing regarding the buttons but it's nice to have "correct" software.

It's for the 4P romset. It doesn't really work if you have a 2P cab (no character select).

Besides, there is free play in 2P Turtles (both World and JP). It just sits on a static screen. So yeah, I guess my original reply was confusing. It's there, but it's a bad implementation.

(B1 is still jump and B2 attack though.)

The static screen on that particular free play hack is really poor choice.

It's not a hack. That's how it is in the original 2P romsets.

Ah yes of course I confused it. the other free play hack I read about makes sure to have attract mode etc running
