Astyanax: The Lord of King - Reset Fix is a modified version of the Japanese game Lord of King, localized as Astyanax for international audiences on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game features a patch that corrects the original reset handler, ensuring proper synchronization between the Picture Processing Unit and the Central Processing Unit. This allows for optimal gameplay on NES hardware.
The Lord of King is a game which was localised as Astyanax for the international release. It is known for relying on Famicom behaviour at power-on/reset (where the PPU starts ~1 frame before the CPU does, and is not affected by resets), which does not work on NES systems. Magic John has an identical problem.
This patch fixes the reset handler to properly wait for the PPU before initialising the game. This has been tested to work with the English translation (apply to the JP version), so this is ideal for playing it on original NES systems.
