Tested and works great with the Earthbound romhacks, "Hallow's End" and "Holiday Hex".

Hallow's End can be excruciatingly hard. This patch does not make the game easy, but it what it does do is balance the difficulty for a more fun experience, by making the combat actually engaging, rather than pure chance if you'll make it out of battles alive. It feels like double XP is how the game should've been all along.

Does the same for Holiday Hex, though that hack is nowhere near as difficult.

Great stuff! Thank you for this patch.

This hack does what it advertises, with a slight caveat. Experience earned in battle is indeed doubled. For those familiar with the game, you know that when your party reaches a certain level, weaker enemies are killed without entering a battle. Unfortunately, insta-killed enemies give their normal experience points.

It still reduces the grind and makes the game a little easier and more enjoyable, but if the insta-kill experience was also doubled, this would be perfect.

Great QOL inclusion for those who don't enjoy grinding!

It does exactly what it says, and makes for a more enjoyable experience for those who don't really enjoy grinding, but still want to play EarthBound.

Would be awesome if the same could be done to Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG.
