Patching Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------

- For those who have never patched a ROM before, this is quick and easy to learn! Use your favourite search engine to find a "ROM Patcher" for your device, OR you can patch a ROM in your web browser on sites such as https://www.romhacking.net/patch/. You simply provide the Patcher the ROM, and the Patch, and it combines them into a newly modified ROM for you. Repeat the process as needed.

- There are two types of patches included: Mode patches, & Feature patches. You can only use one single Mode patch, but you can use as many Feature patches as you like.

- If you want to try a Mode patch, apply it first on the Default ROM, or it will not work.



Mode Patches
----------------------------------------------------------------

Default Mode. This is the brand-new, carefully balanced, most realistic gameplay mode. Highly recommended that you try out this default mode before using any of the optional modes. If you apply one of these Mode patches, the two letter abbreviation code will show up in the opening credits to confirm the installed gameplay mode.

Rookie Mode (RX). Easier to score. Goaltender attributes are lowered to be closer to the original, while skaters have better Shot Accuracy.

Classic Mode (CX). Goaltender and Skater attributes are altered to be closer to the original. The original slower skating start & stop speeds with the original bigger speed boost / checks are also restored.

Arcade Mode (AX). Speeds up the skating to be similar to my 2022-24 releases, and increases the Speed Boost / Body Check speed for a less realistic and more "arcade" feel. 

Ludicrous Mode (LX). Better buckle up.



Feature Patches
----------------------------------------------------------------

Classic Skating. This patch restores the original slower skating start & stop speeds with the original bigger speed boost / checks. Can be combined with any of the other included patches.

Wide Display Mode. (Beta) Increases the width of the gameplay view from 224 pixels to 256 pixels. Please note, this is a working Beta, and has a known cosmetic issue when penalties are called. Can be combined with any of the other included patches.
