One of my favorite NES games now uses SaveRAM! 
Introducing Rad Racer: Car-Battery Edition! Whenever you complete a stage, the game will save your score and the new stage you have gained access to. So even if you get Game Over on the next stage, you can keep replaying it until you beat it. No more starting all over from the beginning when you fail a stage. That was the only thing I didn't like about the original game. If you want to start a brand new game, just select your car, and hit start as you normally would. If you want to continue from where you left off, just hold the A button before you press start, and it will take you to the stage you made it up to, and load your score as well. Incase you are wondering why my hack is called Car-Battery Edition, it is because Rad Racer is now "Battery" backed.

Nice! I haven't played Rad Racer since I was a kid, but now I think I might give it a spin. |

Guys, ditch the patch. It had a minor bug in it.
When you completed a stage from a new game, and then got Game Over, the game wouldn't load your saved score. I have now fixed it in Version 1.1. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Here is the ROM/ISO information taken from the page at the RHDN database:
Rad Racer (USA).nes - NOINTRO CRC32: 8B9D3E9C MD5: FA0688FD15C7851878997B0C61B109E9 SHA-1: 97F4195A0113CAA268CE4F8729DFB719C6D6D460 SHA-256: 2A871D3205D176C810D57F8B3EAB65842F53F73C296C57D010FD591A3A25AB58 EDIT: There was yet another glitch in the hack. It is the same glitch I run into everytime I do a SaveRAM hack. When you run the game for the first time, you have to write the initial values to the SRAM addresses, or else it will take the zeroes in those addresses and write them to the game addresses, which will produce undesired results. I have now fixed this in Version 1.2. Please let me know if you stumble upon any other bugs. I believe I got them all, but you never know. Download I have also updated the link in the first post. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

This is really awesome RetroRain, Rad Racer was one of the games I had back in the day. I still have my original cart. Thanks for the hack! |

I'm glad you guys like the hack.
As for Rad Racer II, I never played it. But I did watch it on YouTube the other day. It doesn't really look all that great to be honest with you. The first game seems better. By the way guys, I'm back to work on my Super Mario Bros. 2: Special Edition hack. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

That is to be determined. I'm not entirely sure about that yet. The main point of this hack is to add two-player mode to a game that doesn't have one. The other features would be to add SaveRAM, allow the player to play an unlimted casino mode, a sound test, etc.
I want to preserve the original game as much as I can. Levels are certainly not being touched, with the exception of the new World 7 I plan to add. I want people to be able to play the original SMB2, with two players. Changing the graphics nullifies that originality. Places where it is okay for graphics changes though are the titlescreen, and a new Game Over screen which I want to be a surprise. ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

I hope SMB2 special edition goes well, wish you luck
Also the new features sound nice. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |
