After Burner Cheats For Sega 32X

1. Dev Team Note

   If you dig in the ROM's code, you'll find a dev note at 0x3BBC0. It contains credits for programmers Yu Suzuki and S. Mifune as well as a message saying, "I love Momoko Agesby." This seems to be left over from the Arcade version of the game.

2. Arcade Mode

   At the Sega logo press A + C + Start on controller 2. If done right, you'll hear "Get Ready!".

   At the Sega screen, take controller 2 and press: A + C + Start. At the title screen, with controller 1, press: A + B + C + Start	Debug Menu
