Hack description

The presented modification (4 in 1 hack) consists of 4 levels:
-ResHack (increases the internal resolution of the game);
-Bug fixes (eliminates imperfections of the original game);
-Tweaks (adding some coloring and unlocking hidden menu items);
-Anti-Scaling (restores the original scales of sprites);
ResHack
- This modification increases the internal resolution of the game, as a result of which the game increases the horizontal view (+ vertical view in the NTSC version), which has a positive effect on the gameplay. The original resolution of the game was 320x224 (for NTSC version) and 320x256 (for PAL version). As a result of the modification, the resolution of the game increased up to 352x240 and 352x256 pixels for NTSC and PAL versions respectively (or 352x480i/512i by NDS Style hack).

Bug fixes
- This modification eliminates some bugs in the original game, as a result of which in certain locations the player could be cheating (bypassing various barriers at the cost of losing part of HP; getting on some platforms from places with unintended by developers; jumping over platforms with the help of a spring-plant, etc.). In connection with the above-described fixes, the positions of some objects in certain locations has changed, which made the game a little more complicated.

Tweaks
- Added coloring of some labels in system menus. Besides, unlocked the hidden items of the option menu by default (previously, these items became available only after passing the game.). Now in the option menu you can immediately set the desired difficulty and look at the rating (although it is empty if the game is not passed).

Anti-Scaling
- This hack restores most of the original scale of sprites to eliminate excessive pixelation. Not restored those sprites the change in scale of which may break of the original mechanics of the game (when the hero can not correctly interact with the object).
