By far the most amazing SMK Rom Hack I’ve ever played, a Hack like this is definitely worthy of being played 110%. Big ups to you Gridatttack and keep up the wonderful work, really hope to see another amazing SMK Rom Hack like this one in the further future.

I’m getting a checksum error at the start with v1.2 when running it through SNES9X. It runs but is this normal?

ROM requirements are marked as the same. The previous version worked without issue or I just missed this (same ROM CRC32 of CD80DB86)

Tried this source and Romhacking. Same result.

Am I worrying about nothing?
