Metal Warriors: Metal Warriors Infinite Continues

This hack is a very simple modification of Metal Warriors that prevents the Continues counter from decrementing. The only change was NOP'ing the DEC instruction that occurs when a player elects to continue following a death. This accomplishes similar functionality to the existing SRAM save hack, however is more appropriate for live play competitions, such as speedrun competitions.

This hack is as barebones as it gets - I don't expect to revisit it to add a more appropriate graphic for the Continue screen, or any other graphical edits. An additional modification for Stage Select may be an attractive QoL bonus later, but I have no realistic plans of when/if I would build it.
