How to use a MAME Lua script to see the mini game

If you don't want to bother with hacking the ROM, you can use MAME and a Lua script to see it. This script does the same thing as the hack.

Download miniGameHack.lua

Then launch MAME from the command line

mame -autoboot_script miniGameHack.lua lastblad

You might want to add some more flags to make MAME a bit nicer

mame -w -nofilter -nomouse -autoboot_script miniGameHack.lua lastblad

• MVS: wait through the eyecatcher
• AES: press start during the eyecatcher, or just wait

How to play the mini game

• Button B: kick a life saver
• Button D: reset the level

Navigate Washizuka to the red life saver.
