This series of patches hides all automap features from the games, providing a challenge to the player, and a greater sense of exploration that's been absent since the first two Metroids. Without "Adam" or the Chozo pinpointing your next destination, you're free to (re)discover the games on your own terms.
For those who aren't feeling up to the challenge, a "Lite" version of the patch is included which only disables the hidden item location markers.

Initial release.

This series of patches hides all automap features from the games,
providing a challenge to the player, and a greater sense of exploration
that's been absent since the first two Metroids. Without "Adam" or the
Chozo pinpointing your next destination, you're free to (re)discover the
games on your own terms.
For those who aren't feeling up to the challenge, a "Lite" version of
the patch is included which only disables the hidden item location
markers.
Note: The map room will usually bring up garbage data.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to assume you know how to use IPS patches. I'm also going to
assume you know how to obtain a ROM to patch. Please don't ask me.
Patches are only included for U ROMs. I might do the other regions
later, if there's any requests.
