About:
For those who have never played the BS Zelda game Ancient Stone Tablets,
Nintendo modified the behavior of the Pegasus Shoes in that game to allow the
player to change directions while maintaining dashing speed. This patch grants
that functionality in A Link to the Past.

General users:
Apply the .ips file to an unheadered US rom of A Link to the Past. The
"uninstall" .ips file restores dashing to its original coding, completely
removing my changes from the game.

Be aware that applying this patch to a hacked version of A Link to the Past may
or may not work. This patch utilizes specific free space that the creator may
have also used. To be safe, if you're going to patch an existing hack, be sure
to "soft patch" it (give the patch the same filename as the hack and put it in
the same folder with the hacked game). This way, if the patch causes a freeze,
the hacked game will still work if you just rename or remove the patch.

Advanced users:
I've included the .asm file I created to implement this modification. It is
coded for xkas version 0.06. The modification JSLs to custom code located in
bank $07. You can change the named define "DASHCODE" to relocate the code to
anywhere in the rom.
