Is there a way to detect difficulty clears?

All achievements are for normal difficulty or higher (unless it's specified in the description). Everything is protected against cheat codes.
Salsa 10 Aug 2016 13:09
Using Mega Crush and collecting blue power-ups while doing "Galactic Hunter" achievements, may cause not getting desired achievement (every kill must be counted seperately).

Hi Evereyone....I asked meleu to link the hash 8c70e7de02f2056a646511731b4ecdf4 to this game. It's a MSU1 patch for better sound effects.

Need also to link the Special chip heck version which removes all the lag in this game.
