Star Fox - Mouse Mode

Apply the patch to a headerless Star Fox v1.2 USA ROM.

This patch is another project brought to you by kandowontu and the Exploratorium Discord Server!

By connecting a mouse to port 2, you can now control the ship with the mouse!

Left mouse button - Fire

Right mouse button - Bomb

Both buttons at the same time - BOOST or BRAKE Double clicking both buttons within 9 frames will swap the mode from Boost<->Brake.

You can move by aiming, as well as move by using the D-Pad.

With type 1, the the ship always follows the current cursor position. With type 2, the ship only follows the cursor when the mouse is moving, similar to analog stick controls.

Enjoy! This rom comes packed with crosshair always on and 21mhz SuperFX+Fast multiply!
