Diddy Kong Pilot is a 2001 prototype for the Game Boy Advance that was later rebranded as Banjo-Pilot. The original release experienced compatibility issues, preventing it from running on emulators and hardware. A patch has been created to convert the prototype from its ELF format to a playable GBA image, addressing these issues and enabling gameplay on supported systems.
For some reason, the 2001 No-Intro prototype release of "Diddy Kong Pilot" (which later, in 2005, was changed to "Banjo-Pilot") is only a rename of the original ELF file to GBA extension, causing this game to not load and even crash on some emulators, and even maybe on real systems, making it unplayable.
This patch makes this 2001 prototype playable on most emulators that don't support or have poor support for ELF files, and also on real hardware, by doing a proper conversion from the development ELF to a vanilla GBA image, also fixing the checksum in the converted image to be able to boot.
Apply this patch to the No-Intro release of "Diddy Kong Pilot" (2001 Prototype).
Enjoy!! :)
