Ship/Weapon Animation Switch
Needs Altered Infinite Lives on, too. Click
Here for it.
Note: You will start with 9 lives and the animation will be as normal. If you die, you will drop to 8 lives and the animation will freeze. Die again, and you're back to 9 lives and the animation is back to normal. Don't exit the level when you have 8 lives! It will force you to reset the game. I also suggest not being at 8 lives for cutscenes, but it sometimes isn't a problem.
All CPU controlled ships freeze in mid-flight. You can even blow up some of them and watch their
exploded carcas float in space. Also, you may not notice, but firing your weapons causes a brief spark at firing time. This spark will
float in space, too.
