Boot directly into Mini-Phalanx 2024.03.30-01

Zero Divide: The Final Conflict has two hidden mini-games:

1. Neco Hammer: In the "Key Config" section of the Options menu, change all buttons to "No Use." A new item will appear called "Test 2," which launches the game.
2. After unlocking Neco Hammer, log three hours of play time. Another item will appear in the menu; it launches the Mini Phalanx mini-game.

Mini Phalanx is the better of the two games. It's a horizontal shooter with a single stage and boss that you replay over and over with increasing difficulty. It's not quite on the level of the Psyth mini-game from Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You, but it is surprisingly good for a hidden thing that most players never saw.

This patch causes the game to boot straight into Mini Phalanx. Apply it with Delta Patcher:
