Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse: Akumajou Densetsu - Localization / Title Screen Redone

Based on the http://www.romhacking.net/translations/730/ hack originally made by Vice Translations.

The previous hack was edited to create a new custom title screen to have the USA name of the game. Original graphics were created by user Vanya.

Also, this hack changes most of the names used in the translation project of Vice Translations, making this a localization project.

Some examples, the name from the previous hack had "Ralph Belmondo", this was changed to Trevor Belmont to make it as closely related to it's USA counterpart. Other changes include Sypha Velmundes (or something like that) to Sypha Belnades, and Grant Danusty to Grant Danasty.

This was intended to make it as closely related to the original canon as possible, making this the real worthy successor of the original 2 Castlevanias with proper difficulty and a great sound!

Oh and if that's not enough, the hack has a separate patch with a new Alucard sprite which closely resembles his Symphony of the Night look!

Changelog:
-----------------
v1.0 - Initial release.

v1.1 - Moved the subtitle text "Dracula's Curse" a little bit to the right so it is more centered and balanced.

v1.2 - Standarized the title screen color palette. This solves the issue in which the letters "D" and "E" of the subtitle had a slightly blue-ish color than the rest of the letters.

v2.0 - Major changes to title screen.
Konami logo is now smaller and the subtitle has been finally changed to a blood-red color.

v2.1 - Bug fix. The title screen loaded for the introduction sequence is different from the Main Title Screen, resulting in wrong palettes loaded in the introduction.

v3.0 - MAJOR bug fixes. This fixes bugs carried over from Vice Translations'
project, in which the ending sequences for Sypha, Alucard and Trevor had
misplaced text when the words scroll upwards.
Other changes include:

1) Main Title Screen, including Introduction sequence and Ending sequence
now have the same palette and sprites.
2) All characters have been localized for North American audiences.
This means Grant Danusty is now Grant DaNasty and Sypha is now a Belnades.
Same goes for Ralph Belmondo to Trevor Belmont in the ending sequence
(forgot to change that one),
3) Subtitle font changed to match that of the ending credits.
4) Quotation marks missing from the ending sequence. This was an issue
regarding to the size of the name entry conflicting with the quotation marks.


v4.0 - Sprites for Zombies and Imps updated.

v5.0 - Updated Imp jumping sprite to appear like further incarnations and match the rest of the franchise.

v6.0 - Updated the title screen subtitle / blood splash and the Konami logo. The Konami logo is now closer to the original
and the title screen subtitle "DRACULA'S CURSE" has been given two shades of red for better contrast. It is now
much more pleasant to the eyes instead of the bare red tone.
