Hack description

Tetris DX didn't include a Super Game Boy palette. It is unknown why a palette wasn't included. The best guess is that Nintendo was promoting the new graphics capabilities of the Game Boy Color at the time and they deemed that adding Super Game Boy palettes would have overshadowed the Game Boy Color. While this makes sense, deciding to deliberately omit a simple matching palette for both Super Game Boy 1 and 2 borders 2 felt cheap.

A few bells and whistles were added, and included two additional patches for those using a Super Game Boy 2 setup and want to play the game with the added Super Game Boy 1 palettes and vice versa. Apply each patch to two separate original unmodified copies of Tetris DX which adds support both Super Game Boy modes.

Does what it says to.	MichalGrodal2	2022-10-23	Version 1.0
I don't know if anyone would be having to use this hack, as it requires a SGB and a SNES, but if one does, from what I can tell, there are no fatal bugs in the game or any errors. If anyone wants some Game Boy Borders, then this is a good idea. There is nothing wrong with it at all, it's just very specific, but I would recommend this to anyone I know who has a SNES and SGB. Good Job.
