This game has very hard to reproduce but game-breaking glitches. Maybe it is possible to get a credits warp or level warp from them?
Check out the descriptions of my videos for savestates you can open in shmupmame. For example, load this savestate https://www.dropbox.com/s/1szywtvsi90nf7z/0.sta?dl=0 with rom omegaf if you want to try and get the debug menu yourself (you'll want to use insert to fastforward a lot, probably)
For me the glitch started like this:

And by loading state and running it by again with different input I get different results with low probability, including a debug menu and a debug frame advance mode:

Unrelated to me, a different person discovered a similar glitch that froze the game, displayed ? on the screen, then warped them from stage 2 to stage 1:

Wow, I think this must be the fastest TAS in all of tasvideos history.
I feel like the only way I could keep up with it is if I downloaded an encode and frame advanced it (which I might have to do, hah)
Small correction to the Blue House Skip annotation: You're not standing on the wall for a frame, you're actually standing on one of the crates inside of the house for a frame.
(Yes vote, this TAS is mindblowing)
Are you sure? You literally can't half-finish a TAS and finish it in a later session in MAME-RR? That seems like a pretty big oversight to me if true...
