This great Dendy joystick MOD video shows you how to play the 8-bit 90's hit Toxic Crusaders using a new tactic to beat all the enemies with a super punch, which after the joystick modernization is now possible in turbo mode.
Of course, the video will explain how to repeat this mod yourself with your own joystick.
Let me remind you that the peculiarity of Toxic Crusaders game from Bandai is a non-standard control, or rather non-standard for the beat 'em up genre, namely the super punch of the main character Toxic is placed on the SELECT button. At least it is not very convenient, and most importantly this feature deprived the player of the ability to use the Turbo Buttons at the time of the super attack. Turbo Buttons can only be used when doing a normal attack, which of course makes it easier to get through, but what if the super attack is done in Turbo mode?
The answer is - of course it's fun! You can knock out several enemies on the screen with one attack, which was not possible before. Now the game is something like billiards and bowling, where you can, with good skill, knock out STRIKE🤣
Does it break the balance of the game...? No, but the game becomes more accessible and at the same time the interest does not disappear, because even with these features the game does not forgive mistakes, and enemies do not act linearly and the difference is that you do not need to painstakingly and long walk around the screen that would outwit everyone, in general the game becomes more dynamic, and fun, or rather it was fun, just it could feel the virtuosos of the game Mr. Gimmick or speedrunners Mario, other fans to memorize patterns of behavior and levels of the game to the pixel.
As a result, by running the presented mod, the usual joystick, you will get a new experience of the good old game. I do not exclude that this technique will help to pass the game faster, and it is generally not cheater, so fans of passing games at speed, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with this mod.
Perhaps a new world record is waiting for you 👍

In conclusion, MOD is very simple to perform and will not require a lot of time or money.
The detailed explanation is devoted to 20 minutes of video, that's why the video is relatively long, but I think everyone will be able to repeat Turbo Select Mod of joystick from Dendi or from any other Famiklon with standard turbo buttons.
Of course, the key feature of the Mod is the addition of a turbo mode to the regular SELECT button, like the B or A buttons. In the second place, I suggested what I thought was a good option to move the SELECT button to a more convenient place to press, on the joystick body. Select would be located similarly to the Mod button on the Sega Mega Drive 2, or like the right Shift on the Super Nintendo.
As a new Selecta like button, a regular clock button from consumer electronics was a good fit. All in all, a real DIY from improvised materials turned out.
In the video will still take part modified joystick from HORI, which was supposed to be used on purebred Famicom, which will be done in general, in order to try the game with this modification at 60Hz, that is in a more dynamic mode than on Dendy.I hope it will be interesting, so watch till the end, or use the episodes, the video is long but entertaining.
