Sega Arcade Gallery: Sega Arcade Gallery High-Score SRAM

The Sega Arcade Gallery is a nice compilation of Super Scaler games for the
GBA - Space Harrier, After Burner, OutRun, and Super Hang-On. The ports are
decently made (except maybe After Burner) but have one huge drawback: they
don't save your high scores. What's the point of trying to top the leaderboard
in Space Harrier if it resets every time the GBA powers off?

This patch aims to fix that. Now you can record your best times and routes in
OutRun! All four games should save automatically after putting in your
initials on the high-score screen. Also included are the ASM fragments used
to implement this.

(By the way, it is possible to barrel roll in After Burner. Hold L and R while moving the D-pad from side to side.)

- If the high-score screens are filled with garbage, MAKE SURE your
emulator/flashcart is set to use a 32KB SRAM save. The EZ-Flash Omega's
auto-detect has problems with this hack, for example.

- Each game has multiple control schemes. For instance, switching between
control schemes A and B in Space Harrier and After Burner will invert Y-axis
input. See what works best for you!

- This game does NOT save control settings, so make sure to set them before you
start playing.

- Using default controls, pressing L in OutRun and Super Hang-On increases your
steering speed. Pressing R in Space Harrier and After Burner lets you move
across the screen faster - very useful for dodging!

- You CAN barrel roll in After Burner! Hold L and R, then move side to side on
the D-pad.
