This is currently being worked on by Chad H. There's a healthy discussion about it in the DE Star Trek thread.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:I'd have a hard time justifying that. I don't find these custom software/roms improve games much, if all. BOP 2.0 isn't any better than the original. Getting rid of the last 0 digit on Flash doesn't make it a better game. Didn't Lyman Sheats do the software for CC? So why would I want to replace it with the work of an amateur?
When it comes to these games, in the words of Russell Bufalina...it is what it is.
Sometimes they absolutely do. DE Star Wars and Creech come to mind. Both games went from being unbalanced to tournament-worthy with code updates. The difference is that amateur programmers are doing it because they love the game and want it to be the best it can be.
Not saying Lyman isn't a great coder because he is, but sometimes you just don't put your soul into something when it's your job. These games are over 20 years old, and computer knowledge is light years from what it was back then. Plus I'm sure Cactus Canyon is the last thing on Lyman's mind.
Quoted from chuckwurt:The new code takes away the only ramp in the game.
What about the combo and hyperspace? I suppose everything is personal preference, but I'd rather have balance than one easily repeated shot.
