Hack description

This is a simple patch that adds a double jump in Light Crusader on Sega Genesis.

*How it works:
David is allowed a second jump by default to help him navigate dungeons and puzzles.

Patching instructions can be found in the readme file.

Note: To work with the color hack https://retrohackers.net/hack-details.php?id=8716/, patch the ROM with color first, otherwise the game will crash after you make a jump.

Very useful, but... save the game oftenducknukam2024-03-17Version 1.0

The double jump is certainly useful, not only to complete certain platform challenges but to do so quickly if you need to repeat them. In some situations you can easily skip vertical jump sections or increments due to this new ability. This saves some time and patience.

Nevertheless it has a very high potential to soft-lock the game in situations where the player gets stuck in mid air, especially in corners, and you can't release from those, having to reload your last save if you want to resume.

I still think this is great hack, but unfortunately the game engine doesn't account to some of the excesses that it permits. Tread carefully.
