*edit* Updated to version 1.1

One of the things that put me off about the Gameboy CV games was the slow walking speed of the protagonists. While I understand this was due to the old school Gameboys blurring very badly when *anything* moved, in the age of emulation it's just a pain in the ass.

So I hacked Castlevania - Legends so Sonia moves faster than usual. If you want the boring details of how it was done, it's in the Readme.

I'm currently trying to do the same with Belmont's Revenge, but it's proving to be much more difficult, to say the least. I hope to have it tackled by this weekend, with any luck (I'm hardcore n00bish at z80).

As a final note, it seems that the location I pointed several routines to is *always* $01, but I only went through half the game after doing it. If you find any bugs, please let me know.

Tonight (Morning?), I finally traced routines enough to track down the speed index for Christoper in Belmont's Revenge. He now moves roughly twice as fast, though I didn't mess with the rope climbing speed (I think it actually makes sense to be slow doing that).

Despite this being released after the CV - Legends hack I did, I've been working on this for like two weeks now (My first foray into the world of z80 hacking).

Anyway, on to the hack.

There are three patches in the archive: One for the US Gameboy Mono game, another for Konami Collection 3 (A Super Gameboy enhanced compilation of GB Konami games), and finally one for Konami GB Collection Volume 4, the European GBC enhanced compilation.

So with this, the Legends hack I did, and hiro112's Castlevania Adventure hack, I believe all the Gameboy CV games no longer suck.

Enjoy. This'll probably be the last time I touch z80 again.
