Big thanks to Adrian for pointing this out. I’ve forgot to add in the right Title Level for Level 10 FUN Smile if you love Lemmings. Now it’s been added. The patch is updated to v1.1
ORIGINAL POST:
LEMMINGS Colour Palette & Level Title Fix Hack 1.1 for the Sega MegaDrive. Colours changed to match the Commodore Amiga version.
For my NTSC USA & Japanese gamers. I decided to go ahead and release the NTSC version of my Lemmings Colour Palette & Title Fix v1.0.
this v1.0 has everything improved from the PAL v1.5 Hack release.
HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:
- HUD Map window is now Green rather than Golden Yellow.
- Fixed the Psygnosis Logo Colour Palette so now it’s Lavender & Hot purple gradient.
- A BeastII of a Level is reverted back to its original palette as I didn’t like how that turned out in v1.3 PAL version.
Yes. I decided to make this hack for the NTSC region as well for your USA Sega Genesis or Japanese Sega MegaDrive.
Whilst this Hack does play on a PAL Sega Mega Drive. the gameplay is slow and not Optimised. If you want to play this Hack on a PAL Optimise version. Click the Link Below to Download the Lemmings Colour Palette & Title Fix Hack v1.5 FINAL (PAL) :

- Tricky Level 17: Diet Lemmingade
- Taxing Level 16: Mary Poppins’ land

Fixed a typo in the ending credits from “GRAPICHS” to “GRAPHICS”
“NOTE: Do NOT patch this Hack with the Lemmings PAL Europe ROM. it will not work. You MUST patch this with the Lemmings USA/JAPANESE NTSC version v1.0 ROM as this is a hack from the NTSC version of Lemmings for the SEGA Genesis/ Japanese SEGA MegaDrive.
Do NOT patch this with the Lemmings USA Rev. v1.1 ROM either. It WILL distort the colours and cause a bad checksum.”
I can confirm this ROM hack is compatible to run on real hardware using the Mega Everdrive x7.

Level Title Fix & Credit fix
UPDATE: ROM Hack in now at v1.2 and the FINAL Update for this NTSC release patch.
More Level title fixes were made as stated on the info. This is now truly the final update release.
ENJOY!
Best Regards,

There’s two ROMS of Lemmings NTSC (JU) out there. Josh’s patch here has to be patched to the v1.0 or just Lemmings (JU) without a rev number. Otherwise if you patch it to v1.1 you’ll get weird colours and an incorrect CheckSum.
Thanks Adrian. I pinned your comment so that everyone knows what one to go with.
