R-Type 3 stage select?

Question

For SNES game R-Type III, supposedly at the "continue screen", you press R 10 times, L 2 to 6 times (depending on what stage you wish to go to), then press start. Well, I've tried this countless number of times, and it never works.
When they say "continue screen" I'm assuming it's after the game over screen and it's asking whether you want to continue or quit. I've also tried this cheat at the title screen, but it doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong? (Every website says the same thing on how to do this cheat).

Answer 1

dont cheat
