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.

A note about Super Castlevania 2 hack, on the hack file go to Hex location $05 and change $08 to $10 and at ROM location $30010, in Hex Workshop, in Edit, go to insert and on the Insert Bytes, insert number of bytes 10000 in Hex and fill the hex byte with 0's then save the file. And now patch my MMC5 xdelta hack to your hack and now your hack will work with my MMC5 hack. Hacks not supported: Castlevania II retranslation - Simon's Quest suomeksi or Castlevania II (Simon's Quest) - Multilingual enhancement Use Delta Patcher to patch the xdelta file to the ROM. Ignore the checksum and then patch the file. Credits: Rockman or RetroRain: for info on how to convert the mapper! Disch: for his mapper docs and a better MMC5 startup! Bregalad: for info about the game keeps on crashing! Changes for this version 1.1a Fixed something in the MMC5 Setup that will allow Simon's Quest: Lame Edition hack to work! Changes for this version 1.1 Changed the bankswitch code to $C183. I was able to add the code into PRG swapping. Original Mapper Converter Bisqwit None of his work have not been used in this hack.
