Topic: Something to give you an idea for a new CV game

If you don't have it, download FCEUX and Castlevania 3 (could probably use CV1, I didn't check). Run the game and get to stage 1. Now open the hex editor and view the PPU RAM. Scroll down to address $3F00 (near the very bottom). Highlight everything from $3F00 to $3F1F (so the first two lines) and paste these numbers in:

0F1D2D3D0F1D3D2D0F1D2D3D0F2D1D3D0F08003 70F0800100F0806100F081710

Might give some of you some ideas for a new game.

By the way, as soon as you change rooms, you'll have to do it all over again, but it only happens when changing rooms so not much to worry about until then.

Hardboiled Castlevania. 

When she walked into my office, I could tell her heart was in a state of unrest. It was obvious by the bite marks on her neck and the foul stench of decay mingling with the smoldering tobacco leaves speckled across my table. Yes, there was no mistaking this dame was dead-- No, rather, she was undead, a vampire to be exact. But she was different. She wanted my help. Needed my help.

I dreaded this day all my life. The stories had been passed down through my family and I always hoped when the smoked cleared I would be on the other side of the world sitting on a beach drinking Mai Tais. Why today of all days? Whatever. The Mai Tais will have to wait.

I rose to greet the dame. I didn't reach out my hand to her, afraid she might bite it, so I tipped my hat instead.

"The name's Dashiell Belmont," I told her. "Vampire hunter."

You can say what happens?

[TheouAegis]

I gave a clue. I said it's hardboiled Castlevania.



That'll give you an idea of what to expect. But it'd be a nicer surprise if you didn't know what to expect.

So this code change the bg pallets to gray-ish? Cool!

I wanted to mess with the sprite palettes more. One of these days I'll go through reVamp and finalize it. For now, was just something that I accidentally made while trying to get greyscale screen captures.

Cool, I need to check it some time.

Interesting. Would a simple little hack to do, but nifty.
