Trying to figure this out...where exactly do you put the password in at on Cyber Core?

I either have New Game or Continue as options...no password entry screen

Edit: Nvm, figured it out!

Agreed.

 Agreed.

Yes, and the OP should put a link to the html version PunkicCyborg posted.

I don't know exactly what they did, but I can tell you they didn't "just squish the graphics" for arcade mode.

I hate to break it to ya, but... they just squished the graphics. 

The reason it plays better like that is because it's closer to the original arcade aspect ratio.  Let's say, for example in the arcade, your code told the dragon to move up by 1 pixel per gametick if you held UP and left by one pixel per gametick if you held LEFT.  That's going to feel totally different on the PCE when it's stretched about +20% horizontally.  It feels like you move sideways very slowly, but up and down at normal speed.  I ran into this when tom and i hacked Super Raiden.  That's why he added the arcade aspect mode to it.

Alzadick also has "arcade mode"

Did you use 256 instead of ____________ for Super Raiden? Tell me more. Also, I need to update the page with this "arcade mode" version of Super Raiden. 

Alzadick also has "arcade mode"

Tell me more! How is it accessed? Thanks.

esteban: Super Raiden is 256x224 normally.  Tom simply added a mode that changes the game to the middle resolution mode (352x224) so it basically restores the arcade aspect ratio.

From options set score to 64000 time min to 04 time sec to 13 and sound to 0E
now it will be in arcade aspect

I have tried repeatedly to get Dragon Spirit to work with the "high resolution" mode, but I can never get the trick to work.

Presumably you are resetting using the pad?  To get this to work I hold down start and then press select multiple times about 2 secs apart.
