Hack description

Yoshi LDX (Lazy/Light DX) is a hack of the Yoshi game for Gameboy that attempts to correct as many colors as possible to the NES using the built in color palette the GBC chooses for this game.

Main changes include:
- Various sprite tweaks/changes
- Title screen plays un-used music
- 2-Player mode win/loss screens tweaked, includes un-used bullet bill sprite
- Various tweaks to text/font formats
- SGB support w/ border and palette (thanks @marc_max)

This hack should work on anything, even on Super Gameboy some improvements can be seen from the default palette picked.

If you are using a emulator that does not need the GBC BIOS/BOOT ROM and supports GBC palette's then the "Press Right" palette would likely be best, or if using the 3DS/2DS and injecting the rom, there are tools to specify the palette used, and those colors can be found here:

Thanks to @xenophile in the forums for the technical support on this effort.

Brings back memories	BlairBear86	2023-02-23	Version 1.0
This was one of my childhood Game Boy games I would play as a kid when I got bored. Brings back memories and it's nice seeing it in color. I wouldn't call it a (Lazy DX) to be honest, DX would be just fine. The only thing I don't like is the color of the Goombas with the checkered brown/green look, as seen in the screenshots also. If they looked a proper solid brown color, I think this would be a perfect color hack for me. Other than that, great job.
