Hack description

Castlevania HoD Definitive Edition (ver 1.0)

GAMEPLAY: https://youtu.be/9vrAOunq91w

This Hack is a combination of some other great hacks and some edits by N.Dpendent.

Requires:

- Rom [Castlevania - Harmony of Dissonance (USA).gba]
- IPS-Patcher like Lunar IPS

Some additional changes:

- Speed-effect is now in character-colors and looks more realistic
- Menu has changed to red, which fits better as blue
- Textboxes are now dark-red (enemienames in black window)
- Save-Text will no longer change colors, if spell-book is activated
- The secondary-weapon-slot is now black and not gray anymore
- Damage lets you flash red and not green (thx Pemburu Vampir)

* There is a second patch, that changes Death's pink to gray (first apply the basic-patch)

Everything is OK	1HomoErectus1	2021-10-04	Version 1.0
The game goes well and smoothly with this hack. Everything is OK. (However, color changes is a matter of personal preferences). But what hacks actually are in this "combination of some other great hacks"? One can only guess. It will be good to have a list of this "some other great hacks". At now I can see only good changes of the animation of the main hero (we already have this hack on this site) and minor color changes of the interface. Edited 5.10.21: Anyway, "Definitive Edition" is said too loudly. It is definitely not the definitive version at least without patch that fix the English localization issues ("Harmony of Dissonance - Localization Fix"). The good thing is that, as far as I can see, this two hacks agree to work together.

Nice visual upgrade to HoD	Allen0800	2021-07-19	Version 1.0
I had forgotten how ugly the blue outlines and blur of the main character were when playing this game. This hack offers a nice fix to the visuals and makes them quite appealing, finally!
