Violence Fight

Violence Fight is a serious contender for Best Video Game Title, plus it has a character named "Lick Joe". What's not to love about that?

Debug Functions#

Round Select#

This game uses the Taito Code: While the game boots up, hold the Service Coin button until a "SERVICE SWITCH ERROR" message pops up on the screen, then press 1P Start (×3), Service Coin, 1P Start.

Use 1P Up / Down to move between options, and press 1P Start to select that option. "Test Mode" is the game's standard test menu, and "Reset" does exactly what it says.

Style Check#

There's a frame / hitbox viewer hidden in the game. Put the following code in MAME's viofight.xml (World), viofightu.xml (US), or viofightj.xml (Japan) cheat file. Then, hold the Service Coin button while starting a new game to access this menu.

  <cheat desc="Enable Style Check">
    <script state="run">
      <action>maincpu.mw@002388=6614</action>
    </script>
    <script state="off">
      <action>maincpu.mw@002388=6014</action>
    </script>
  </cheat>

(The Service Coin method is coded in the game, but the game effectively ignores the input by using a BRA opcode to always branch into normal gameplay. This code just changes it back to a BNE opcode.)

Controls:

• 1P Left / Right: Change frame offset by 1.
• 1P Up / Down: Change frame offset by 10.
• 2P Start: Flip frame horizontally.
• Service Coin: Toggles Area (Dark blue) and Attack (Light blue) visibility for the current frame.
