This is a hack I made some time ago. It was my first hack but since my skills in hacking improved since then I decided to go back and touch it up further.

In my last version most all the levels had redone graphics. Well, I went back and touched up the graphics in Levels 1 and 2 a bit better. I will continue on with the rest of the levels. I also redrew many of the enemy sprites to give them a SOTN styled look. I also redrew Sonia so her sprite is at least on par with Christopher Belmont (CV 1 and 2 gameboy). I also translated a bit of text in some option screens. I will later translate the rest of the text and I will also release a version where Alucard is the playable character. If I can I will try to include subtle differences in their gameplay (Speed up sonia, give alucard higher jump).

So here's some pics of the things I touched up recently.


I redrew the spear guard to look more SOTN like and made a NITM style ghost

The Zombies now have robes. Also the Skull Lord was redrawn.

Fleamen aren't ugly anymore and seem jittery like their SOTN counterparts.

Collect Draculas Bodyparts (ala SOTN, CV2, and HOD) Instead of Unusable Special Weapons

A sample of translated text.

You will need to use the japanese vesion of legends for this patch. I used the japanese version because it has a save feature instead of the US versions Password. The Japanese version is called Akumajou Dracula - Shikkokutaru Zensoukyoku. You can download the file here:

Thanks. I'm still throwing ideas around in my head about what I should do with the game as far as graphics are concerned. Here is the new border I made for difficulty select screen. I may change the font also.

That looks better than the original screen imo, you really got a knack for gfx changes, pretty neat.

You should probably edit the font -- the varying thicknesses of the letters should be smoothed out a little. Can you borrow the original CV3 font?

Yeah, that'll look pretty cool. The hack would feel more Gothic imo.

Thanks for the comments. The font in the picture was lifted directly from the us cv Legends, but that font kinda sucked anyway. I did use the cv font in the item select screen but maybe I'll add it to the save and difficulty select screen.

It might help to see what I changed to appreciate what is there now. I still think that Konami must of been planning to go back and change these graphics and most of the ones that were there now were just placeholders. Cause alot of the graphics are pretty crappy.



Check out their weird stick ghost, there is actually 2 sprites being used for it's movement, but all they did was flip the graphic to illustrate the movement.

Oya, I changed the trees in the forest level now also. Also the floor tiles aren't those grass tiles I used in the ips patch at the top of the page.



I have plans to make Alucard a playable character by the time I'm finished with this hack. Switching his graphics with Sonias shouldnt be a problem, but I'd also like to change a few game mechanics, so I might have to take you up on your offer for help Rockman.
