Blood Warrior is a fighting game with a wrong traditional Japanese theme.

Debug Menu#

There is a disabled level select in the game. It can be re-enabled with this MAME cheat:

  <cheat desc="Replace Test Menu with Debug Menu">
    <comment>Loads the debug menu instead of test menu on startup when test mode dip switch is set</comment>
    <script state="on">
      <action>temp0=maincpu.md@1862</action>
      <action>maincpu.md@1862=0000361C</action>
    </script>
    <script state="off">
      <action>maincpu.md@1862=temp0</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

A detailed explanation of what the debug flags do is here.

Other Debug Tools#

Holding the Tilt button (mapped to T by default in MAME) will run the game in slow motion. Pressing the Service Mode button while Tilt is held will enable a player sprite move function. P1 and P2 joysticks move their respective characters.
