Setup instructions
- Enable the complete US module before entry. Hold R1 while confirming SURVIVAL; use Up/Down to select, Left/Right to edit, Cross to confirm and Circle to go back. START PRACTICE opens native character select.
- Choose any of 50 native boss entries, retaining its character, level, Gold/Black and EX settings, or FROM LEVEL with a start level from 1 to 999. Ordinary Survival without R1 follows the native route.
- VENOM 640 / HUNTER: Gold Venom at level 640, Fixed CPU32, ordered slots Hunter / NONE / NONE.
- SOL 960 / LIFE REC: Gold Sol at level 960, Native CPU, ordered slots EXP Up / Hunter / Life Recovery.
- SOL 960 / VAMPIRE: Gold Sol at level 960, Native CPU, ordered slots EXP Up / Hunter / Vampire.
- Named presets reset all eight stat upgrades to zero. Individual edits select CUSTOM. Edit ATTACK, DEFENSE, SPEED, TENSION, T.START, BURST, A.DASH and A.JUMP; upgrade caps are 14/14/14/14/8/4/2/2. Zero upgrades displays LV.1. Three ability slots retain their order and can each be NONE or a selectable native ability.
- CPU modes: NATIVE preserves the native Survival formula; FIXED (MOD) selects 0 to 32; PACED (MOD) uses a synthetic 0.1 to 9.9 seconds per level. Both Sol presets reached native CPU32 in the tested starting conditions.
- Start pauses a live fight: Resume / Retry / Configure / Exit. Completion after win or loss offers Retry / Configure / Exit. Retry restores the configured initial encounter and RNG; result Retry fully reloads fighter assets. Practice ends after one encounter; post-win native continuation is separate future work.
- Disable the patch and restart the emulator to unload. Do not combine with conflicting modules. Practice bypasses native ranking/unlock writes; the tested paths preserved protected data and two copied cards.
Effect
Set an encounter, CPU mode, eight stats and three ordered abilities, then retry the configured Survival encounter through native initialization.
Test result
Exact 1dc15dd9 artifact passed three pause retries per preset (nine total), native win/loss completion Retry, Configure/Exit, normal Survival comparison, protected unlock/ranking and two copied-card checks; final menus and non-silent audio were observed. The separate 995a80 artifact owns the historical 150 retries. US emulator coverage only. New 2026-10-22 packaged check passed four routine retries total (two Venom, one Life Recovery, one Vampire), with protected data and both source/copied card pairs unchanged.
Use and recovery
| Kind | compiled module |
|---|---|
| Controls | Hold R1 while confirming SURVIVAL; release entry buttons before confirming again.; Up/Down selects; Left/Right changes; Cross confirms; Circle goes back.; Start in a live fight opens RESUME / RETRY / CONFIGURE / EXIT TO MENU. |
| Enable | Install only this complete module and enable its Survival Practice section. Hold R1 on SURVIVAL for setup. |
| Disable | Exit practice to the menu, disable the cheat, then restart the emulator to restore patched instructions. Unticking alone does not unload it. |
| Reset | Use RETRY for the configured initial encounter; CONFIGURE changes setup; EXIT TO MENU leaves practice. Restart the emulator to unload the module. |
| Persistence | Runtime code and checkpoint state stay in RAM until restart. Tested routes leave protected unlock/ranking data and both copied cards unchanged; universal save safety is not claimed. |
| Requires | None |
| Conflicts with | Arcade CPU32 autopilot, GGMOD Extra Menu page: hitbox and HUD controls |
