Hack description

Is a multifaceted hack of Marble Madness, as in there are two different versions, one is a normal hack and the second makes the game Black and White "Grey-scale" both are similarly themed though were hacked in different fashions. There are 4 patches in the archive easy and normal hard versions of both hacks.

Version 1.1
Gets Rid the Orange on Orange Timer Text, Makes the Marble look much better, Has some more updated Text and Palette Changes, and changes the color of the Title Screen, see readme for full details of the changes. The Text Changes were updated for Black and White version too for 2022.

I included a partial Palette Locations doc in the archive so if you want or need to you can try changing the game yourself, I don't care.

Special Thanks Go To

Guyver (X.B.M.) for MMTE 1.0

and Rockman for the GGCodes for B&W mode.

Enjoy..

This is an "Improvement, "not a "Complete" hackEndymian2017-10-21Version 1.0

This is a graphics mod and a timer mod. The easy version gives you extra time, the hard version gives you half of the normal starting time. Besides some color swapping on the landscapes and the marble being orange, I was unable to identify anything else different about the game.

I have been quietly hoping for a Marble Madness romhack for ages, wishing that there were more levels to play because it was such an amazing game and much too short. Maybe it's because I was hoping for something more than this when I saw it, or maybe I just want to be able to read how much time I have left but the orange-on-orange timer block wants me to be unhappy.

Not to discourage the creator, I hope this leads to more robust mods of Marble Madness with new levels in them.
