About this project

This hack remove the gradient. There are two patches, one that removes it permanently, one that add a menu option on second config page to toggle the gradient.

The code could maybe be optimized (HDMA data and gradient table for no gradient option), but for now it is what it is.

See readme.txt for technical stuff.

Description
-----------
This hack remove the gradient. There are two patches, 
one that removes it permanently, one that adds a menu
option to toggle the gradient.

Code could maybe be optimized (HDMA data and gradient 
table for no gradient option), but for now 
it is what it is.

For the free space used, $C0F091 code can be relocated
elsewhere in same bank and $EFFBC8 code elsewhere 
in the ROM.

I included some custom menu background screenshots 
examples with no gradient but these are not included 
with the hack. 

no_gradient can be assembled with bass and menu_gradient 
with xkas (yeah, weird and this will change in future 
release if one).
