Hack description

Auto save in password house

- When you enter a password (with the password menu) you start at the beginning of the Valley

- With a save you start WHERE you've taken the password

- GAME OVER screen give no more password (in the original game give only a password when start with "new game")

- The author slightly modified the game, only 4 enemy / screen (instead of 6), to be a little bit easier. (you can edit number, adr $3129 - if you change the number, you'll maybe have to correct the checksum)

Choose "last game continue" to load the save.
If no save already present in sram, start like "new game".

This patch already include the bugfix, more informations here :

Checksum already corrected to work properly on us/euro consoles.

bug-free

  • no problems anywhere

features

  • Sram saving is amazing; makes much easier to pick up later
  • Restarting from last save checkpoint is a huge fun improvement
  • Including map bug fix is nice too

complaint

  • Makes game easier by default, more fair for casual gamers; can be turned off through hex edit only (* no addendum patch included)

overall

  • Great for anyone
  • Faithful to original
  • Ability to restore normal game difficulty through hexedit
  • Will reuse in future plays
