Belmont's Revenge: Speed Hack

About this project

As with Castlevania - Legends, I've always felt that Christopher Belmont moves too slowly to make the game fun.

This hack significantly improves his walking/jumping speed. There are patches for the following releases of the game:

Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge: Classic USA mono release.

Dracula Densetsu II: Japanese version. Has the Banshee Boomerang, which was swapped for the Axe in the US release.

Konami Collection 3: Japanese Super Gameboy enhanced compilation of Konami games.

Konami GB Collection Vol. 4: European GBC enhanced compilation.

How?
~~~~

Via a lot of code tracing and flipping back and forth to z80 manuals. This was much more
difficult than hacking Legends was, but the result is well worth it.

Thanks

A big thanks to Serio. Provided invaluable feedback and beta testing.
