General users:
Apply the .ips file to an unheadered US rom of A Link to the Past. The
"uninstall" .ips file removes my coding changes from the game, restoring it to
its original functionality.
Be aware that applying this patch to a hacked version of A Link to the Past may
or may not work. This patch utilizes specific free space that the creator may
have also used. To be safe, if you're going to patch an existing hack, be sure
to "soft patch" it (give the patch the same filename as the hack and put it in
the same folder with the hacked game). This way, if the patch causes a freeze,
the hacked game will still work if you just rename or remove the patch.
Advanced users:
I've included the .asm file I created to implement this modification. It is
coded for xkas version 0.06. The modification JSLs to custom code located in
bank $07. You can change the named define "CycleCode" to relocate the code to
anywhere in the rom. Furthermore, you can change the sound effect utilized by
changing the named define "SFX" and/or by changing which sound register is used.
