This hack adds support for 6-button controllers, while retaining legacy support for 3-button controllers. Depending on whether a 3-button or 6-button controller is inserted into the console, a different control scheme will be used.

The recommended variant is “Alien Soldier 6-Button Support (v1.3) [Toggle]” but if you are particular, then there are two different configuration decisions to make.

Complete list of changes:

-You can now dash by pressing Z. (Down+C no longer dashes in 6-button mode.)
-You can now perform the “Counter Force” parry manoeuvre by pressing Y. (Double-tap B no longer parries in 6-button mode.)
-You can now toggle shoot modes by pressing X or Mode at any time. (Down+A no longer swaps shoot mode in 6-button mode.)
-The new controls are displayed in the “control test” screen, assuming a 6-button controller is inserted.
-On the password input screen, pressing up now increments the number and down decrements. Furthermore, A, B, and C can now all be used to confirm password.
-Bypasses internal checksum verification and region lock.
