Super Metroid GR2 HalfHack2 Ver.1.0 README
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

¦ Overview
A Super Metroid half-hack "made on the spur of the moment" ?

¦ How to use
Patch over a headerless Super Metroid JU ROM.

¦ Difficulty
• You should know the original map very well ;
• You can sequence break in some places ;
[Several techniques are required but the author does not mention them]

¦ Different specifications
• No Ceres station ;
• Certains room connections were changed although it is a half-hack ;
• Some beams have increased firepower ;
• Shinesparking doesn't drain energy, it can performed below 29 energy and you can even cancel it anytime by pressing DOWN button ;
• Gravity Suit doesn't half enemy damage (but it works normally against spikes and other hazardous terrain) ;
• Space jumping behaves in air like in water (mash JUMP button!!!) ;
• X-Ray scope range was changed ;
• Spin jump restart can be achieved by pressing the jump button again in the air ;

¦ New Status Bar
Design of the status bar at the top of the screen was changed, you are now able to view the following three types of information in real-time :
(1) Play Time
(2) Key Inputs
(3) Charge Beam & Speedbooster gauges
To switch between them, press L, R and Item Cancel buttons.
However, display is not updated during certain game sequences (pause screen, item-get message boxes, going down/up an elevator, etc.)

¦ Known Bugs
Half of screen turns black sometimes. Hardly reproducible (related to special blocks?)

¦ Special Thanks To
We customized our hack thanks to the following patches which have been published at Metroid Construction :
· SadiKejSpinjump (Kejardon & Sadiztyk)
· Beam Specific Shot Blocks (Crashtour99)
· Chain blocks (Black Falcon)
· Scrolling Sky Fix (PJBoy)

Various inspirations from :
· Metroid Super Zeromission
· Super Metroid Cliffhanger
· Super Metroid Impossible
And many others

I would like to thank people who made these patches and hacks.
