A Famicom/NES/Dendy demo based on the notorious 9999-in-1 pirate multicart with Unchained Melody in its menu.

In 2023, I was preparing an anniversary update: 10 years since the first version of the demo, 30 years since the first multicarts with Unchained Melody and the Dendy itself, and 40 years of the original Famicom. But I got distracted by something at the end of the year, so it remained unreleased. I'm releasing it now retroactively in the state the project was in November 2023.

• Shooting stars effect on the night slides.
• When automatic demonstration mode is enabled by pressing Start, the most suitable slide is immediately displayed.
• Automatic demonstration mode is activated automatically after a long idle time (5 minutes) on a suitable slide.
• More precise synchronization of automatic slide switching with the music beat, resolving a 6-frame deviation error.
• Input handling is more responsive to rapid slide switching.
• Standard NROM vertical mirroring is used (instead of non-standard 4-screen) for better compatibility.
• Lightweight version of the sound engine in the NSF.
• NSF file size: 1632 bytes.
