Castlevania: CastleVania Reborn

This is a rom hack I made based off of Luto Akino's hack called CastleVania Overflow Darkness. I had his permission to do so. I pretty much re-did all the stages and their graphics. I did, however, keep most of Luto's enemy designs and attack patterns, his cool looking Simon's sprite, his castle introduction sequence(I did change the castle, tho) and his ending screen(Which is awesome) since these were the reasons why I wanted to do this in the first place. However, any other new graphics you'll see were most likely done by myself.

I made it pretty hard but I think that's mainly because I can go through the original game like a breeze. I don't think it should be a problem to anyone who would be interested in downloading a hack of the original CastleVania in the first place anyway.

I hope everyone or anyone that will play this enjoys it, and please leave some feedback!

There are 2 IPS patch files from the hacked rom (which was a bit tricky to find) One for each version of the original game's roms:

Castlevania (U) (PRG0) [!].nes
Castlevania (U) (PRG1) [!].nes

Just check your GoodNES set for one of those 2 roms and use the corresponding IPS patch for it.

Any decent NES emulator can softpatch your Castlevania rom.

However, to hardpatch it, use LunarIPS which is free and can be found here:

Or here:

There was no proper readme included with the hacked rom, but some information on it can be found here:

And so far, there are 2 videos on YouTube, one of them a video walkthrough:

Finally, I TAKE NO CREDIT/BLAME FOR THE HACK, all I did was make a patch/working download for it

The hack itself was made by xXbelmontXx.
So go praise/criticize them.


****************************************

TL;DR

I made an IPS patch for somebody else's hacked rom which they uploaded to RomHacking.net, but since they failed to do that properly, the download link wasn't working anyway.

So, fixed that too.

The person who created the hack itself is xXbelmontXx, not me.
