Forgot to share on here but @cryptide-travis go Red Reload working today. Red Reload was so broken that they pushed an update a month later, giving us the Blue Reload that got ported to consoles and stuff after. Red has been trapped in Naomi arcade cabinets since February 2003. Until now. Everyone popoff for Travis's hard work!!!! 🥳🎉🎊🎊🎉🎉

The two Reloads can be distinguished by the color of the RELOAD text in the logo. Red was only ever released on arcade cabinets while Blue got several home console and PC ports.

Some GD-ROM files were from redump by MajorPBX and NovaAurora. Archive.org GD-ROM dump HERE. Travis' tweet with a Megaupload download of files to get it running: HERE.

BunniesFromHell shared a video showcasing some of the bugs/glitches in Red Reload. You can check that out over on Youtube HERE.

Red Reload was released in arcades February 04, 2003 and the Blue Reload patch 51 days later on March 26. Some of the glitches include characters have multiple infinite combos (Slayer bloodsucking loop?!?), general instability issues, a hard freeze that requires rebooting the cabinet, visual glitches, and unfair character balancing. It was so bad that a signature campaign was apparently launched by a "well-known celebrity" to pressure ASW into releasing a patch. It worked.
