Cho Ren Sha 68k (超連射 68k)

Famibe No Yosshin's Cho Ren Sha 68k (超連射 68k), ported to the Atari ST by Neil Rackett.

Introduction

The Atari ST version builds on Sascha Springer's Atari Falcon port and Adam Polkosnik's Amiga port.

Atari ST, TT or Falcon
Colour monitor
4MB RAM
Hard disk with 2.2MB free
TOS 1.04 or above
Original sound effects with DMA audio, YM2149 on a regular ST
YM2149 music
Xpad providers are supported if you'd like to play with a gamepad (see Controls).

The game always runs at full speed (50hz) with:

With overscan enabled on ST (see SZ2.CFG in the zip) you lose 20% frame-rate, but gain 20% more screen.

Key	Joystick	Gamepad	Action
Arrow keys	Directions	D-pad / left stick	move
Ctrl / Z	Fire	A, X, right shoulder or trigger	shoot
Shift / X		B, Y, left shoulder or trigger	second button
P		Start	pause (press again to continue)
Esc			back to the title (from a game, also paused or at game over, and from CONFIG or the hidden menu); on the title: quit
F1			lockstep on / off: every frame is shown, the game slowed to the drawing speed
F2			keep the playfield window still instead of following the ship

A joystick works in either port. On an STE, a Jaguar pad in the enhanced joystick port A works too: A shoots and B is the second button.

Bluetooth gamepads are supported via Xpad providers, including MD/Sidepad, COMpad, STEpad or any other.

You can enable overscan and other options using SZ2.CFG, including 3 presets:

Preset	What it does
`default`	Crop, score over the playfield, music (unless `SZ2.CFG` changes them)
`performance`	Crop, score in its own band, no music (fastest)
`authentic`	Full height using overscan, score over the playfield, music

Other options are described in SZ2.CFG and there's more information about the game, including how to provide feedback, in README.md.
