This came up on my Twitter feed. Turns out this conversion makes Gradius III on the snes slowdown free!
It’s especially great on the bubble level.

If you told me in the 90’s I could play this game on my SNES without slowdown in 2019, I would have scoffed.  But it has happened and it looks glorious!
Gonna try this out soon.

KenToad:
Really impressive! It looks super difficult. Thanks for sharing.

Damn that's cool!  One of the first games I got for the snes back in the day...  I wonder if anyone is going to sell the modded carts.

After playing this for a little bit, I would totally buy a conversion cart of this. It feels like arcade Gradius quality now!

I haven’t seen any slowdown, but also the game is a lot harder at full speed. Especially in the 2nd (bubble) level. It took me a while to adjust to the frame-rate particularly at parts I remember had bad slowdown. Before you used to be able to use the slowdown as an exploit on plotting yourself out of a sticky situation. But with this version you have to react quickly, like a normal shmup!!

This feels like what the developers intended; it’s one of the nicest looking Gradius’s, and now it plays smooth at full fps.

This is fantastic.  :applaud:

What a cool mod. I see it also has a Super Mario World version as well. Seems like that would lend itself well to the rom hacking community that creates the super difficult levels since it allows more on-screen entities at a time.
