There were a couple CV Legends graphic hacks released years ago. One by me and another by somewhere else. Anyone happen to have them anymore? The website they were hosted on is gone. I think the guy that ran the websites was named Dracul.
-
I Googled for some CV Legends hacks and the only thing I can come up with so far is a speed hack. Sonia moves just a little bit faster then in the original rom.
-
I had one but the hack only works on Dark Night Prelude (Castlevania Legends, JPN version).
It was done by a person named KY-RA and updated the graphics heavily.
If I recall:
-Made the enemies less cartoony
-Made Sonia's sprite far better.
-Made Sonia use a sword instead of a whip.
However, all info on that seems to be lost.
EDIT
NO IT HASN'T!
Included is an IPS Patch! I found it in an old hard drive of mine.
Here's a quick snap I took of Sonia's new threads.

notes
*Although often misunderstood, this patch is not what KY-RA made. Maker is KY-RA's friend (he doesn't plan to clarify his name). KY-RA only introduced this.
*Giant Worm is changed into the pXXXs. lol

I edited my post 'cuz I found the IPS Patch.

I have no idea what they were thinking when they gave Sonia a sword over her whip. She's a Belmont. Belmonts use the Vampirekiller. It's a written law.
-
Nice, at least one of the hacks have been found. Good to see it again.

Dang, I found my hack, google lists it, but the site is down. Here's the description it says on google:

I think it's the 2.0 version cause I think I changed the collectables to Dracs body parts in it. I was working on the hack further and added shading and redid a few things but I never uploaded it anywhere so it's lost to time. The hack is SOTN inspired and all the ground block tiles should be unique to each stage. For some reason there were unique floor block tiles for every stage, yet they all used the same graphics. A couple graphics (For sure in the clock tower) were taken from the SHIKKOKU hack.
Edit: I found a old link to when I posted this hack somewhere else:

There's a couple pics of a further revision I was working on. Too bad that I probably didn't upload it anywhere.
-
What localization is this Legends SotN hack for? I've tried it out and the graphics are a bit of a mess.
-
Japanese version.
-
Yup, the SHIKKOKU hack may have picked the JP version cause the author was Japanese. I picked the Japanese version cause it features SRAM instead of passwords.
