METROID II: RETURN OF SAMUS EJRTQ Colorization v1.3 Beta (CRC EB48DCF6) Art by EJR Tairne Programming by Justin Olbrantz (Quantam) INSTRUCTIONS - Use e.g. Lunar IPS to apply IPS patch to Metroid 2 Game Boy ROM with CRC DEE05370 - Rename resulting file to .gbc extension to ensure emulators correctly load it as a Game Boy Color ROM - NOTE: As it is a GBC-only ROM, it will NOT run on Game Boy, Super Game Boy 1/2, or emulators that do not support GBC KNOWN ISSUES / NOTES - Any differences in timing from original Metroid 2 are unintentional and should be reported as bugs FUTURE WORK - Create separate normal and speedrun modes. GBC contains hardware not present in original GB that can be used to speed up loading of data to increase performance above that of the original game. New normal mode would take advantage of these features, while current implementation that maintains timing of original Metroid 2 for equivalence in leaderboards would become speedrun mode. CHANGES v1.3 Beta (CRC EB48DCF6) - Changed status bar Metroid colors to better match other Metroids - Frozen enemies now use frozen palette - Screen now correctly fades out before credits - Samus and enemies now flash properly after taking damage - Powerups and drops now flash properly - Title screen now flashes properly - Wall in last boss room is now colored correctly v1.2 Beta (CRC C76E7A60) - Code has been completely rewritten from EJRT v1.2 - Should now work with all emulators and real hardware - Crashes and screen corruption have been fixed
