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.

2. Description
______________________________________________________________________
This patch is a slight enhancement of Secret of Mana, born out of a
desire to improve the text somewhat from the stretched font Square
used. A VWF has been implemented, the ROM and story text pointer
table expanded, and the story text has been rewritten slightly to
take advantage of the extra space.
In other words, it looks better and seems more wordy. ^^

3. A Small Warning...
______________________________________________________________________
Due to the large number of different SoM ROMs that I suspect may be
out there, I feel it's necessary to stress that this particular patch
is intended for the American version 1.0 ROM _with_ the standard
0x200 byte header. If you encounter problems with the patched ROM, I
suggest you verify the above attributes with SMC.COM.
Also use it to check that your ROM has a checksum of 20988 (dec).
Note that this checksum will be the same for both the patched AND the
unpatched ROM! If it doesn't have that number, then I recommend you
find one that does.
