Subtle, but superiorParkerMcFly2018-07-25Version Final

Such a subtle change to the game, but well received on this end.

Pros:

  • Intro captures what the original artist wanted us to see.

Cons:

  • Music in the intro doesn't align perfectly when Jaffar summons the hourglass like it does in the non-hacked game. Not a huge deal though.

Notes:

  • None.

TL;DR: I recommend this hack. 9/10!

md5sum is wrongSCO2017-08-01Version Final

You really can't trust the md5sums you haven't verified yourself.

Prince of Persia (USA).sfc MD5 Checksum: 0f82744cffb11108d0f66cd26985e2ef

is *not* the checksum of any version of this rom. You find a rom download page with that md5sum, but it's absolutely wrong!

The actual md5sum is

8ffc8d34bc75bc049122894b4292eb85

(same as no intro).

When you upload hacks i'd like if the metadata was right. Someday someone will do a dat from rhdnet metadata and many of these will be wrong because of things like this.
