YES FINALLY! Compatible with hacks (some it seems)r1ggles2023-04-18Version 1.0

You can't understand how long I've been waiting for a standalone fix of this, the left side HUD flicker has bothered me since I was a kid, and it's finally fixed.

There is another hack that fixes it, but it has a lot of changes I'm not a fan of.

But this, this is it!

Seems to work well with rev 1 of Mario as well, and it works with the Super Mario Bros. 3 Extended hack as well (which reintroduces cut content).

Thanks!!
