Thanks you for checkin or downloading METROID: RE Zero Mission
as you saw or knew it was originally better zero mission. which was mostly a try
for modding the European version than an actual vanilla+ of the last.
know the 101 % it's already possible without any issues , if you see anything odd feel free to
send me a DM on Discord at meinosbelfort or on the current thread about RE: Zero Mission.
Know that all the change was made possible because of ASM , Hex Tweak and a gfx editor.
since MAGE v2.0 isn't gonna be released sooner or later.
Version update would be released once enough change would be made to be more than enough worth releasing.
same for fixes or curent ASM editing.
