LEMMINGS Colour Palette & Level Title Fix v1.1 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Colours changed to match the Commodore Amiga version.

Yes, you read it right. The Super Nintendo version of Lemmings deserves to get the Colour Palette and Level title Fix Hack treatment too. The writing palettes now match close to the Commodore Amiga version whilst keeping the good SNES version specs in place.
Although it wasn’t easy to change the colour palette on this port as this took hours to do and a different method to palette hacking. But got there in the end. Saying that, Glad the Super Nintendo version gives me more colour palettes up to 32,768 colours in order to try and make it as very close to the Amiga colour palette as possible.

Along with not only some Level Title Fixes. but restored the Levels that were censored by Nintendo of America.
Despite the Level changes to the USA & PAL version. What’s interesting about this is, according to the wiki called “The Cutting Room Floor” The levels that were altered because of Nintendo of America’s strict censorship. these altered levels got their own Level ID rather than overwriting the original level ID. I used the HEX editor to find those level ID’s within the ROM from the PAL version and the Japanese Super Famicom version.  Went ahead and changed the HEX values of the level ID. after saving it and testing the game. the levels worked.

“NOTE: Do NOT patch this Hack with the Lemmings v1.0 or v1.1 USA Revision ROM or the Lemmings Japan ROM. it will not work. You MUST patch this with the Lemmings Europe PAL ROM.”

I can confirm this ROM hack is compatible to run on real hardware using the SD2SNES Flashcart on a real Super Nintendo Hardware using SNSP-CPU-1CHIP-02 motherboard revision.
