Submission Message
I kept forgetting to post my new record here. But I have been so consumed with trying to break the world record for one of the Raiden games. That game is insanely difficult. I got to number 2 for Raiden 2, and I really, really want to go for the number 1 spot. But at the same time I feel that it won't be enough because it still won't be close to a 1 CC (the Raiden games are just that insanely hard). Also it won't even come close to the MARP record, which I feel

I want to stop and refocus on another record I can break more easily, or re-break. It's high-time I re-break Battle Circuit, since I want to finish the ultimate final boss. I don't know why it was the only game for me to leave at a placeholder for so long...

That being said, this submission of mine, I hope, complies with all the rules.

Hey Salim, INP hasn't made it into this thread.

Brian Troha and Guru fixed some ROM names in the Mystic Warriors driver. - 11th March 2003: R. Belmont sent in a driver for Mystic Warriors hardware games supporting Mystic Warriors and Gaiapolis. ----
