|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| A cosmetic patch for giving a moody look to Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest (U) |
| |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| In more detail: |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| - Enphasizes the mood of the scenes |
| |
| - Makes the scenes more convincing regarding the way in which a light source |
| at different times of the day would change the colors in each scene. |
| |
| - Enhances perspective by separating planes by hue and by making colors |
| considered belonging in the same distance plane more analog -specially the |
| backgrounds- while shifting hues and contrasting values in the the closer |
| planes in order to give them a bit of air in between them. |

| What you need to use this patch: |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| - A (USA) rom of Castlevania 2 - Simon's Quest (U) 262,160 bytes; I leave |
| you alone on this one, but maybe Google... |
| |
| - A NES emulator. Whatever you use should work, but If you ask me, I prefer |
| VirtuaNES: http://virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/bin/virtuanes097e.zip |
| |
| - An IPS patcher such as Lunar IPS: |
| http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/download/lips102.zip |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| What this zip contains: |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| - The patch itself in .ips format |
| - The readme (this file) |
| - The palette I made for use in your favorite emulator (it *should* look |
| better with this but it's completely optional) |
| |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| A quick help on patching: |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| If you don't know how to patch, then download Lunar IPS: |
| http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/download/lips102.zip |
| |
| - Extract all files (it's ok if you put them toghether) |
| - Run "Lunar IPS.exe" |
| - Click on "Apply IPS Patch" and select this patch (the .ips file)* |
| - Then select the rom file**, mine is:"Castlevania 2 - Simon's Quest (U).nes"|
| - Enjoy |
| |
| *Note that you have to navigate to the files' respective paths if they are |
| not in the same folder than Lunar IPS, and both, the ips and the rom must |
| be in decompressed form. |
| |
| **My rom's size is 262,160 bytes (not the size on disk) so if the patch does |
| not work for you, your rom is not the right one, so try please another one. |
