Hack description

This patch adds mouse support as well as new content from the PlayStation port to the SNES original. There are also lots of improvements like bugfixes and the ability to run through stairs, speed up the credits along with faster health regeneration. Recent additions include a refined chase system coupled with new hiding places and weapons. Your save file is also now protected in case you accidentally choose "NEW GAME" at the main menu.

IMPORTANT!:
A certain key has been moved to where you find it in the PlayStation version, so walkthroughs written for the original SNES version may mislead you. Additionally, a cut puzzle has been added to the last part of the game (see List of changes spreadsheet).

PATCHING:
First apply any translation patch (not included). Then apply the corresponding Deluxe patch (choose either regular or Classic Chase).

UPDATING:
Do not apply the patch to a ROM with an earlier version of this mod, as it could cause crashes! Save files from earlier versions should be compatible, however.

SUPPORTED TRANSLATIONS:
English by Aeon Genesis (Headered ROM!), Chinese by Я929, Korean by Cyjzero, Spanish by IlDucci (Headered ROM!), Turkish by knighTeen87 (Headered ROM!), German by RedScorpion, Portuguese by Denver, French by Naboo

TOOLS USED:
DiztinGUIsh for code inspection, Mesen-S 0.4.0 for debugging, Notepad++ for code, assembled with Asar 1.81, Hex Workshop for hex editing, Custom tools for research, new sprites, animations and compression, YY-CHR for editing existing graphics

This hack has been tested on a PAL SNES and a Super Famicom system, with an original Super NES Mouse.

Latest update (V2.0): New chase system, new hiding places and events, various unused content restored, save protection where necessary.

The Best Clock Tower Experience	FlamePurge	2023-10-19	Version 2.0
Clock Tower 0 is the best in the series, but it loses replayability once you've figured out where Scissorman is going to jump out at you. With Deluxe, you're more on edge for a more effectively scary experience. But you can still use the original fixed spawn system, if you're a purist. The ability to use more self-defense weapons, having more opportunities to hide, the majority of the added content to the PS1 port including its reduced stamina recharge time, and best of all, being able to run up and down stairs! This will likely remain the definitive experience for CT0. Give it a try!

The Definitive Version	advancedpillow	2020-11-07	Version 1.2
As great as Clock Tower has always been, this romhack pushes it even further with welcome changes and additions. This is without a doubt the best way to play this classic game. There's really no reason to play the original anymore now that this exists. "Deluxe" is the definitive update for a once-hidden gem.

The most important fix	Dzumeister	2020-11-03	Version 1.2
This patch adds content that was strangely left out for fans of the SNES version! A great update to a horror classic, with the most important fix: you can now run up stairs. Thank you.

A must	vonmalvarius	2020-09-15	Version 1.1
What was strangely missing is now there. Mouse support is working well. Easy recommendation!
