This hack basically ports levels from Game Boy Lolo to Adventures of Lolo 3, because GB Lolo is horribly slow, looks and sounds bad and its just not fun to play. It includes 95% of levels, as because of limitations of Lolo 3 some early levels are missing(only around 20 or so) but all other levels(+pro levels) are in.
Version v1.2 fixes issue with puzzle 17-2, it was unbeatable but now its fixed.
-Hack itself-
'Gb Adventures Of lolo' is hack of 'Adventures of lolo 3', made by J^P, Version f1.2.

-background info-
~7 years ago I started to make my lolo hack, called Adventures of lolo gb remix,
basic idea was to "port" levels from 'Adventures of lolo' on Game boy to lolo 2,
because gb lolo is horribly slow, has terrible music(for most part), looks worse
and its just not fun to play.
And because differences between gb and nes versions, I had to make some changes
to puzzles to be able to finish them, because of that some levels are bit wider
or gives you 'extra' bridges or hammers, and that's only because exit in gb
version can be anywhere in borders(top, bottom, left or right) or touching chest
ends level, but in nes versions it has to be at the top row, otherwise it just
doesnt open or work correctly and that was only workaround to the problem and
I didnt want to cut more levels, especially later ones.

I've tested this hack this on;
>Virtuanes
>nestopia
>nesticle
>vNes
>Pocketnes
>fce ultra GX
>retro arc
>BizHawk 1.x.x
And everything seems to be working fine, and ALL puzzles are beatable, but if doesnt work
for whatever reason, install gentoo.

-Version history-
Version f1.2 (4.7.2015):
>Puzzle 17-2 is now fixed, it was impossible to beat due two water currents missing
and no way to exit after getting to the chest, sorry about that.
Version f1.1 (21.05.2014):
>Fixes some issues on title-screen and intro, instead of just removing "III" from
directly editing graphics, this time around I edited "III" out via hex-editor,
this is to fix issues with intro, as before it was messed-up, but now its
identical to original game.
>Edited order of "HACK BY.." text to make more sense.
Version f1.0 (02.02.2014):
>First public/final release.

-Know issues-
>Tutorial rooms demo (go there as lala, press select and choose "Give up") is fucked-up
due changes to their layout, since its currently unknow how it work and nobody knows
how to change them, they will remain bugged.
>On last level, you can get killed by don medusa if you stay on half-way into heart-frame, though
this is issue/bug with game itself how it handles having multiple sprites per row.
>Some levels might require either frame-perfect momentum, save-states OR just being lucky
due leepers/almas/rockys AI being different between GB and NES versions, however all levels
are beatable and I've tested all of them multiple times.
