* Time-release bypass : You must have access to the machine's test mode to use these codes (note : There may be 2 test modes available on the machine. It's not the Service Mode dip switch).

2. Input this code with the Player 2 controls : Left, Left, Right, Right, Guard, A, B (a sound will indicate that the code was correctly entered).
3. Exit test mode without any other modifications.
Gourai will now be the middle character on the character select screen.

Enable Dark Pulsion, Dixen EX, and Wise Duck Olrosso early. It normally takes 600 hours for Dark Pulsion, Dixen EX, and Wise Duck Olrosso to become available.
If you have access to the machine's test mode, you can enable Dark Pulsion, Dixen EX, and Wise Duck Olrosso in less than 10 minutes.
