Castlevania Dracula X (SNES) Touch Up

Well, glad you got it running.

Well I added a header, but that caused it to be defective. Going to the options screen there was scrambled picture with the Konami splash screen sound effect happening. Starting the game caused it to freeze. But I did it again without a header and it works fine. Hearts value starts at 25; lives seem to be increased; Holy Cross is unchanged and is green in the middle, but I don't mind that at all anyways. I don't know if physical attack power is increased or not; I'd have to play around with a vanilla copy and get to a boss to figure that out and make a comparison. The Holy Cross item crush does to a lot of damage so that works.

make sure the rom has a header. If it doesnt then add one. Then it should work. I tooke out the floor in draculas room cause it didnt work across all 4 hacks. But I made the cross item crush really powerful. It should get Draculas form defeated fast. The 2nd form is easy since you can hit his legs and can dodge him easier that way.

I've had trouble getting this patch to work as intended; it seems like some of the improvements apply but not all of them. Example the Holy Cross gets the sprite update but the starting hearts or lives are not at their modified value. I've patched it more than once and have also gotten the opposite where the Holy Cross sprite was unchanged but the hearts were at 25 to begin. Can't comment on whether the floor in the final boss room was added as I didn't play that far. Possibly some conflicts going on that keep all of the improvements from being implemented simultaneously. I tried this with both 1.3 and 1.4.
