What does this patch do?
It simply changes around a few bytes. Instead of now having the default 0-9 restrictions on "S. Shoots", you can set both player 1 and player 2 to having 0-99.
I also changed the time value, so it can be set to 0-99 as well. This isn't as practical as 99 "S. Shoots", but it allows for slightly more customization in between matches without having to rely on entering various PAR codes at start-up to freeze or alter the values.

1. Introduction.

Hello, my name is David Mainwaring (antiheroforhire) and I've used Romhacking.net for years. I'm somewhat experienced in hacking, but have never contributed anything back.
Most of what I end up doing is for personal use and probably not of interest to anyone else, but I decided to share a small change I did to Mega Man Soccer (U) because
there doesn't really seem to be a lot love for this game. I can be honest and admit myself, I don't even love it - but I used to spend quite a few weekends growing up playing it
with my brother. One thing that always irked me, was on a real SNES, you could only set 9 "S. Shoots" to each side without a Game Genie. Well, not anymore!

____________________________
Make sure the patch and ROM are titled the same.
The ROM should be NTSC (U), have a header, and if you check under properties have a size of 1,311,232 bytes (unzipped/uncompressed).
Not tested on an unheadered ROM, but it'd probably work as well considering how minimal the changes are. No guarantees, though.
