Revolution X (SNES)

A butchered port of the arcade version of the same name, featuring lots of lag and censorship.

Sub-Page#

Special Options#

Enter the message ITSEASY on the high score initials entry screen and then select END to immediately access this hidden menu.

Build Date#

Located at SNES address $80FFA0-80FFAF (immediately before the internal cartridge header) is the following build date which presumably translates to "Revolution X Super NES October 17, 1995 Final Version 1.0":

RXSN171095-FV1.0

The string is unchanged across all 4 releases of the game (JP, US, EU, Germany.)

Unused Text#

Located at SNES address $84F132-84F165 (all regions) is text printing for this friendly placeholder message:

TOUGH SHIT!!!!
I don't know the text!

Looping Screens#

Starting at SNES address $868000 is unused programming that cycles through various screens as follows:

  • Intro story
  • Copyright text
  • Helga's No No's
  • Special Options
  • High score initials entry (immediately before this it loads a hardcoded Player 1 high score of 00500050 and Player 2 high score of 00000000)
  • Today's Revolutionaries
  • Intro story (again)
  • Options

This list is then repeated in an infinite loop.
