Castlevania: Symphony of The Night - Quality Hack (PlayStation) Romhack

This hack brings some quality fixes to the original version of the game for PlayStation.

Main features:

Removed black bars on the top and bottom of the screen (ingame, menu, final scene);
Updated the tile maps of all locations to increase the visible area of the screen;
Unlocked and finalized rooms under the hatch (at the entrance to the usual and reverse castles);
The positions of some menu items have been changed (expanded backgrounds & frames, etc.);
Impossibility to leave the castle through the gate by playing for Richter;
Impossibility to keep the initial equipment of Alucard (avoiding a meeting with Death, using the trick with a wolf, is no longer possible);
Impossibility of going outside the castle in the location of “Royal Chapel” (in the form of a bat);
The loading rooms on the global map are now highlighted in white;
