This patch colors Zero's forehead gem on his sprite to be blue (instead of gray) using the 2 color slots normally for the buster (which is filled in with colors from his body) and modifies the palettes to match.

Made using TileMolester, CrystalTile2, and GBA Graphics Editor.

A Small Change That Adds Surprisingly A LotBeeperoniThe3rd2022-11-07Version 1.0

When I was looking for patches to play the Zero games on, (Specifically the Restoration patches) I was surprised when I saw this patch for Zero 2, but no where for any of the other three Zero games... I like this patch a lot, and I'd love if it was done for the other three if possible. It always bugged me how Zero's forehead gem was grey instead of blue in his sprite work.

Regardless, great job! I absolutely love this simple ROMHack change, and the blue Buster Shot pistol is also a neat little addition (I'm a huge Classic Mega Man and Mega Man X fan, so the color blue goes well on ranged weapons of all kinds for me).
