This hack remove the gradient. There are two patches, one that removes it permanently, one that add a menu option on second config page to toggle the gradient.
The code could maybe be optimized (HDMA data and gradient table for no gradient option), but for now it is what it is.
See readme.txt for technical stuff.

Description

This hack remove the gradient. There are two patches,
one that removes it permanently, one that adds a menu
option to toggle the gradient.
Code could maybe be optimized (HDMA data and gradient
table for no gradient option), but for now
it is what it is.
For the free space used, $C0F091 code can be relocated
elsewhere in same bank and $EFFBC8 code elsewhere
in the ROM.
I included some custom menu background screenshots
examples with no gradient but these are not included
with the hack.
no_gradient can be assembled with bass and menu_gradient
with xkas (yeah, weird and this will change in future
release if one).
