1311: Double Dragon II: The Revenge PC Engine \\ new(?) glitch / cheat: P1 is both Billy & Jimmy!
1Found a seemingly unknown glitch or something in Double Dragon II: The Revenge on my PC Engine Duo-R: hammer on the I, II, and Run buttons all at once for a while in 1P Play mode, and the 2P character, Jimmy appears; the game acts like it is now in 2P Play B mode, except that both characters are controlled simultaneously using just the 1P controller.
Sometimes Jimmy appears within seconds of starting to mash the buttons, but other times it has taken 3-5 minutes of button pressing.
I WAS able to reproduce it using a standard Duo-R pad (as well as with a Hori Real Arcade Pro 5 PS4 (v2017) arcade stick through a Brook Super Converter).
I was NOT able to reproduce this emulating via Mednafen. Maybe it's a quirk of my repaired controller port? If you've got your own console and can try it out, lemme know what happens!

Not sure what that graphic glitch at the bottom of the screen is, I guess maybe that's just an overflow area that wouldn't show on a normal TV so they didn't care what sort of garbage might happen down there.

Note: if you use the PC Engine Multitap, and start a 1P Play mode game with the pad in port 1, then put the pad in port 2, pressing Run on the now-2P pad does cause Jimmy to appear--but controlled only by the controller in port 2 (not in port 1, as happens with the glitch), so you've essentially switched to regular 2P Play B mode.
Incidentally, also just found that the Brook Super Converter does NOT work through the PC Engine multi-tap. Tried the Hori stick on PS3, PS4, and PC settings--only responded on I think it was the PS3 setting, but with scrambled controls. DS4 didn't work either. Guess I shouldn't have got rid of all my other PC Engine pads! = P
^ That's as of current converter firmware v 1.6. I contacted Brook about it and they said they'd take a look.
