Patch requires ROM, likely with file name 'Super Hydlide (U) [!].gen', with MD5 of BC8FFCE6DE6406116D49F8B5E3ED77AB
Apply the Refined patch, or the Refined and Rebalanced patch. The latter is strongly recommended if you would rather enjoy the game than experience its original gameplay.


Modifications:
Much dialogue/text was reworded to sound more grammatical or be less Engrish-y. Not a retranslation, although I did reference Japanese materials for some things.

Some of the font was altered to fit in with the rest of the font. The UI got some slight improvements.

Some stats and spells were renamed to better describe their function. Some items were renamed.

A few hints were improved; a few were added for basics in the manual, and a few for spots that had me stumped.

The ending text has been improved to be clearer about what occurs, inspired by the MSX original.



Additionally, for the rebalance patch:

Many items had their weight and/or cost adjusted (usually downward) to be more useful/balanced/plausible. Key items in particular had their weight reduced. Some items had their power adjusted.

Monsters were rebalanced to be less difficult, and give greater rewards, necessitating less grinding.

Mechanics such as carry weight, hunger, tiredness, and morality, were made substantially less onerous.

The early-game in particular was made less arduous, due to a combination of the above. The game should be much less confusing and frustrating overall, now.

Monks were made more viable, particularly against bosses.
