#Gradius snes how to#
Gradius III original vs SA-1 enhanced version How to play this version of the game? Here’s a useful comparison of the original version vs the hacked fixed version of Gradius III: This is the same chip that Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars uses, for example. Well, Vitor Vilela, a friendly hacker from Brazil, has managed to patch the game in order to make use of the Super Accelerator 1 (SA1) chip and stop these slowdowns from happening, given that this chip is about four times faster than the normal SNES CPU (10.74 MHz vs 3.58 MHz).
But there’s no denying that this was not the original design meant by its developers, because it’s caused by hardware limitations and not intentional CPU throttling, and it would be nice to see how different the game would have been without these issues. It has never really been a problem for most fans, I personally find them great because they make the game a lot easier. Gradius III for SNES is an awesome game, but its critics always had the same thing to say about it: it has some serious slowdown issues. Gradius III for SNES can now be played without slowdowns
