The mod. is described here...
http://www.arcadecollecting.com/crazy/cchack/

Basically it provides a proper free play mode with demonstration screen, allows 10 characters on the high score screen(as originally planned), and corrects the quirky input method for high score entry.

There is a *NOTE* about the mod. causing an issue where the climber falls off the building for no reason.

I have played with this mod. for 8-10 games now and I haven't experienced it. I know this issue has also been reported on non-modified games so my thought is it may just be the original issue being attributed to the mod.

My scores have ranged from 100k to 200k so it's not like I'm taking it easy and playing quick games.

A couple notes on my setup...
- *ALL* of my EPROMs have been freshly burned with the encrypted US MAME ROMs.
- The original CPU "pack" is being used.
- I'm using the Free Play file: ccplusen.zip

So... is anybody else utilizing this mod. and if so... have you really noticed anything odd with the climber's behavior?

Guess I'll try a weekend bump? ;) Last self bump... I swear.

I've played about 20 games with this mod. and have only had ONE incident where I fell off the building without getting hit and without having a window close on me. Only oddball thing was I was trying to climb pretty fast when it happened.

BUT, this happens every once in a while without the mod. so I'm thinking the side effect some people pointed out was just a "normal" oddball thing that already existed.
