Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Secret of Mana's menus are in all caps, seemingly due to a lack of lowercase letters in the menu
font. However, lowercase was built into the system even in the original Japanese version, making
the capitalization choice perplexing. This patch rewrites everything in lowercase, which was quite
laborious.
Created to complement FuSoYa's Variable Width Font Edition mod. http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/18/
Those wanting to combine patches, apply Proper-caser above all else.
I'm also seeking to place lowercase letters in the naming screen somehow. Send me a PM on RHDN's
forum if you're able to assist.
