***Thanks to Creel and Pepperkat, the ice block level has been improved by about 10 seconds. You can now skip the entire platforming segment at the start. Here is a consistent setup.***

Cheat codes

The game has the following cheat codes built in which can be input at any time. Press all 4 keys of the code on your keyboard at once to activate it.

ZEUS - invincible, unlimited ammo, toggle antigravity with the g key
NEXT - warp to any level
XTRA - get 25 bullets (can only be used once)

These codes are banned from speedruns that do not have "Cheat Codes" in the category name. However, for Level Leaderboards, XTRA may be used before entering the level, and NEXT may be used to unlock a completed level if you would like to try it again (useful for skipping one-time dialogs).

Configure DOSBox to run at max cycles to prevent lag

Set your CPU cycles in DOSbox to 100% for best performance. This game is RTA which means you'll have to deal with any slowness incurred by not following these instructions!

Firstly CLOSE DOSBOX IF IT IS RUNNING!

For Windows users, you can find dosbox-0.74.conf in C:\Users\<your Windows login>\AppData\Local\DOSBox

Open the file in a text editor, and find the line that starts with "cycles=". Change it to "cycles=max".

Now anytime you launch it will say in the titlebar that cycles are at 100%.

Now extract the contents of the CC game zip file to any directory of a PC you like.

YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO THOSE STEPS ONCE =) However, you must do the following any time you want to play:

Assuming you already have DOSbox open:

In DOSbox, choose a letter (I use "C" just because). Type "mount C <full directory of the folder containing the files you just unzipped>".

For example, I keep my CC1.exe and such in "C:\dos", so I would write "mount C C:\dos".

Then just type "C:\" to load your folder.

Then just type "cc1", "cc2", or "cc3" to run whichever.

Level Maps and List

Go here: http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/index.htm#C and search for Crystal Caves

Here is a handy guide to show which level is which when we're talking about them https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eUPd5BqyylpGAJdxhzdz9Mn0EIiAU-egMA99DZJqz4o/edit?usp=drivesdk

Using SNES parallel port for virtually lagless input

Make sure you know how to install PCI express cards on your motherboard and have at least 1 slot open.

You will need one of these: http://www.rosewill.com/?product=rosewill-rc-302e-pcie-1-port-parallel-card

And one of these: http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/snes_controller_parport/index.php

Install the PCI express card on your motherboard. Download and install the most recent drivers from the manufacturer link above.

Set Windows to test mode (ppjoy will sadly not work without this): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/the-testsigning-boot-configuration-option

Reboot

Install the latest ppjoy (allows windows to recognize your parallel port controller as an interface device): https://github.com/elitak/PPJoy/releases

Install Joy2Key https://joytokey.net/en/ OR AntiMicro (but not both) (this program allows you to map controller inputs to keyboard keys): https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro/releases

Joy2Key should recognize your LPT3 controller since you have ppjoy and the rosewill drivers installed.

Enjoy your virtually lagless PC snes input!
