The Chaos Engine Amiga colors & music speed fixDescription

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.

Chaos Engine IPS patch
3rd March 2016
by fusaru
made with HivePAL, Gens Tracer

==Purpose of the patch==
Changes the game's colors so that they reflect the Amiga version (not AGA colors) more closely. Also changes the region to NYSC-U and the music speed so it doesn't play too fast

==Usage==
Apply the included IPS file to the ROM (e.g. via Retron 5, dedicated program such as "StealthPatch IPS Patcher").
If you get a red screen, the checksum needs to be fixed. Programs such as ESE FixCheckSum can do this for you.

==Notes==
*only works with the PAL version, not with Soldiers of Fortune
*make sure your system is set to NTSC-U region to play the game without problems
*the original Amiga version is almost pure pastel colors. SEGA's 16bit machine can't do those very well, so this optimized version is still very "colorful" compared to the Amiga original
*for HivePAL users that want to improve this or do their own colors
