I already posted a comment for some reason it didn’t get uploaded I cannot get this game to work I’ve tried tons of different ips tools and I’ve done tons of other ROM hacks like this with no problems I spent hours trying different tools thinking maybe it was the emulator so tried a few different emulators still the same problem the main screen will load up but then as soon as I hit start it glitches screen looks funny then goes black every different way I’ve tried to do the game have the same thing happen I even used the ROM Patcher on here figuring I’d get different results and I do not the file doesn’t even change size it just changes the name it says patched at the end of it is this a US Castlevania or something is there something I’m missing i downloaded several different Castlevania ROMs still will not work I attached a picture of what it’s doing when I hit start before it goes black can somebody please help me

I tried with the ROM indicated on the Nestopia UE emulator and had no problems. Check that your ROM has the same hash as the one indicated on the entry.

I’m not sure exactly what that means I downloaded the Mega Man for NES and I downloaded the IPS file and I patched it is there something I’m missing here that I don’t quite get what you’re saying about checking the has to make sure it’s the same number as indicated not exactly sure what that means I put my game Into the hash and it had information and numbers and I don’t know what any of that means

That was a mistake I meant Castlevania for NES

I didn’t really understand what you meant so I Google search the information in the download section hash info and manage to find a game and the hash matched so I tried that and that worked I just don’t know why three different ROM sites did not have the correct ROM two of them would open up and glitch immediately one of them would just go black screen it wouldn’t work at all don’t get why I tried three different sites and I couldn’t get a good ROM and I couldn’t find any other ROM sites but when I Google searched it I found some other way to get it

Could have been internal issues with headers, or some other data difference due to version numbers or whatnot. Checking the filename is a good idea if you’re in a rush. However, the hashes are great for verification.

Overall Good Level, Graphic Hack for Castlevania 1

Written by: deleted - September 11, 2024

Overall a pretty good solid level, graphic hack for Castlevania 1.

A few of the boss graphic changes like Frankenstein's, and Dracula's head looked a little weird.
A few candles were stuck in solid background tiles.
A few monsters have minor issues like they can fall through solid tiles or there placed in air instead of a background tile.
Difficulty is maybe slightly harder than the OG game.
