  1. **INTRO**
  2.  
  3. Welcome to the 'Thornwood' ROM Hacks Collection!
  4. These are 'IPS' patches so you'll need to grab an IPS patcher of your choice (such as Floating IPS) to patch it up
  5. There are several such utilities on RomHackingDotNet (RHDN) and Zophar's Domain
  6. I've also included a link below to the most recent version of Floating IPS that isn't available anywhere else!
  7.  
  8. Several patches are included for you to change the game YOUR way!
  9. All of the patches are NOT fully compatible with one another!
  10. Combine some of the patches at your own risk, or just use the 'Thornwood Terrors' Patch to avoid bugs/glitches
  11.  
  12. Due to some of these issues, I have included a BPS format patch of 'ThornWood Terrors' so that people can be assured when using it that their game will be relatively bug-free and glitch-free
  13. compared to the IPS patching. If you don't use the BPS, double check your ROM hashes to make sure they match up!

  102. **INSTRUCTIONS**
  103.  
  104. 1. Obtain a legal copy of the Shining in the Darkness (USA) Sega Genesis ROM that matches the hashes above; how you do so is something that you can figure out yourself
  105. 2. Patch up with one or more of the 'Thornwood' IPS patches included in this archive using Floating IPS or Lunar IPS.
  106. 2a. Floating IPS is recommended because it works better than Lunar IPS, is fully backwards-compatible with it, and also can create and apply BPS patches if you ever need it
  107. 2b. If you want everything in one go, just use the 'Thornwood Terrors' IPS patch!
  108. 3. Finally, just copy the fully-patched ROM to a flash cart (or be a lamer and use an emulator)
