Hack description

This is a hack for Switchblade II on the Atari Lynx. It allows the player to continue the game from the level on which they died, rather than starting from the beginning, but also starts the game with one life. This makes the gameplay more similar to modern platformers. There is a small bug in that when the game is completed, the game begins from the last level, but this is fixed by turning the Lynx off and on again.

In addition to the author's changes to the ROM, the patch includes Harry Dodgson's loader that skips the checksum checking that the Lynx employs, allowing the ROM to be hacked. The loader is (c) Harry Dodgson, 2001.
