Spirit Tracks - D-Pad & QoL Hack (Nintendo DS) Romhack

This patch combines d0k3’s QoL improvements with Greiga Master/StraDaMa’s D-Pad Patch to address common frustrations in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, such as slow train travel and cumbersome mic-blowing. It enhances gameplay without changing the core experience.

Features:

1.5x faster train speeds in 2nd gear and reverse
Boost mode (4x speed) by holding L or R, 8x speed with both L & R in 2nd gear
Mic-blowing replaced by button input (L or R for flute, A everywhere else)
Full D-Pad controls for movement, swordplay, and rolling
A Super Secret Cheat Code for those who actually read readmes

Warning:

This patch does not work with and may even result in a corrupted savegame on DSTT flashcards. Similar issues with other flashcards are not known, although it may be incompatible. Proceed at your own risk.
