I patched game by this code and disable automatic fixes (because with this I did not notice a single hang). Result:
Level 1 - hangs at the very beginning.
Level 2 - hangs at the very beginning.
Level 3 - completed.
Level 4 - hangs when appears first flying fortress, and exactly when helicopter must move the character to the second battery of cannons.
Level 5 - completed.
Level 6 - completed if skip first cutscene with giant head. Otherwise - game hang then in this custscene will apear pre-rendered video, inserted into in-game object (screen).
Level 7 - completed.
With enabled automatic fixes game will not hang, but background at first level and pre-rendered videos inserted into in-game screens on the second and sixth levels will be corrupted.
I’m not sure that the background on the first level and the video on the in-game object in the sixth will not be damaged when the automatic fixes are disabled (since I can’t see them), but the video on the in-game screen on the second level displays correctly if the automatic fixes turned off - however I can suppose this only on one frame of this video, which appear before the game freezes.

As you should see the Variant 1 Weapon Code has been commented out with the // Signs.
So use only Variant 1 or Variant 2 Code.But NOT both Codes together!

Now works on easy and normal difficulties. But in training mode both players are still start with 30 lifes.

Works. Some cutscenes on the engine, as well as the entire environment in the gameplay, become brighter (and this allows to see what should not be seen). The main menu, interface, some cutscenes on the engine, pre-rendered video do not change colors.

Works. Some cutscenes on the engine, as well as the entire environment in the gameplay, become much brighter (and this allows to see what should not be seen) and sometimes overbrighted. The main menu, interface, some cutscenes on the engine, pre-rendered video do not change colors.
Also this patch does not work together with "Constant correct RGB Brightness Adjust". If enable it with "Constant correct Contrast Adjust" the final result will be identical for "Constant correct Contrast Adjust" without "Constant correct RGB Brightness Adjust".

Works. Unlocks all weapon slots available to each character without having to play missions.

It works but with visual bugs. Adds ALL possible weapon sets for each character. Sets that are normally not accessible to the character (like with a katana for everyone and without a katana for a Katana Jaguar) instead of letters either do not have a number at all, or instead have a “?” sign, or a piece of element of interface.
Also, all characters without a katana use an invisible katana (but with visible effects like fire) and sound the same male sighs. Even Lucia.
