Oh man!
Thanks a lot for this!
I´m doing some testing right now.

Couldn't think of any game that needed this more. :Þ Thanks alot!

How can i made a mod of this game? someboady can explain me

plz link iso download Castlevania - Symphony of the Night - HardType

ISO is just another word for the game file, you download them from a separate source. A quick hit on Google should pull up some sites. Would post a link here, but I'm not sure if external links are allowed.

As much as I like the concept, I have to give this a negative review.

The description reads, "modification for the PSX NTSC-U version" of the game.

There are myriad "NTSC-U version"s of the game on the internet. Of those that are in standalone .iso format (as opposed to bin + cue, which seems to be what most playstation emulators prefer), all of them freeze at the PSX BIOS load screen after being patched.

Of course I tested them first to make sure they're playable versions of the game. The same happened when I tried converting the bin + cue copies to iso, then patching.

So, I shrugged my shoulders and said, "The entire internet probably just posted bad rips. (Yeah, right.) Surely it will work if I do a clean rip to iso of my own pristine NTSC-U copy of Castlevania: SotN..."

Nope, freezes before boot. Tested in Mednafen, the most accurate PSX emulator.

Until the author provides a filename or checksum for the targeted .iso, I advise everyone reading this not to waste their time.

This patch works fine for me. Tested on Castlevania sotn NTSC-U (slus_000.67).

Can you create patch with only triple HP of bosses(except Dracula in prologue)?

A hard SotN patch! Yes!!

Yay, thanks for the great work, LandonRay. Nice job trying to balance SotN. I'm addicted to this game and have been looking for a Hard patch for years. Playing Hardtype right now. Just did a video on Death's battle, and I am planning to make a full game video upload of my testing if you want.



Btw, IMO there are some balance changes that could yet be made, since that the game is still somewhat easy after a point. These are very important in my view:

- Nerf/remove the Holy Sword & Holy Rod weapons; (they do bonus damage to lots of enemy units, and IMO are by far the most powerful common weapons now, except by Alucard Sword.)

- Nerf the Holy Water,Holy Cross, Knife and Bibuti subweapons; (All these are OP in my opinion. For 6 hearts you can easily kill the Cthulhu early in the game with HW, for example, and both the Knife and Holy Cross are Boss killers. The other subweapons are balanced IMO.)

- Nerf/remove the Blood Cloak; (because it converts damage received into hearts. Think about you being able to perform a Holy Cross every time that an Inverted Castle boss hits you. It's not fair IMO).

- Nerf/Remove the circlets; (they make Alucard gain HP each time that he's hit by the circlet's element attacks. They also increase a lot INT. Very OP in my opinion.)

- Give a cooldown for the Backdash ability; (Is it possible? I find it annoying to see people dashing everywhere for speed in SotN videos)

- Increase the heigh of Alucard's crouching sprite; (Again, is it possible? Many enemies, including bosses such as Medusa, Cerberus and Slogra simple can't hit you if you're crouching. It's not well balanced in my opinion)

- Remove/reduce the pain chance of some units; (Some units/bosses like the Succubus and the Karasuman cannot even attack if you keep hitting them).

Well, that's it. The link of the video that I've posted is below. Thanks again.

I think removing weapons is unacceptable. You can even nerf the crissaegrim so much that it becomes balanced, so why not do that instead of removing it? It's a cool weapon, so why remove it? Why remove features?

Either way, I came here to request giving all enemies a stunstate like garbon & slogra, and have the stunstate re-activate even if the enemy is still in a stunstate, so we can do combos. Enemies would need a lot more hp of course, but I was wondering if it's possible, because the game definitely has the mechanics for combos. I know it's not within the scope of this mod, but can someone comment on how easy it would be to do this?

Please don't say things like "put a cooldown on backdash cancelling". Why are you trying to decide how other people should have their fun? Seriously, that scares the hell out of me.

Thank You for a mod, played it on older version, now replaying it on latest, amazing job You've done Was searching for that type of mod to this game

newbie here. how do i play this mod? i must download a ISO and attach these files on it?

Edit: I've found the guides on the forum. thank you for this

So, I played through this mod alot of times using some of my own codes to add some extra challanges, ive been doing a playthrough of hard mode + no exp + luck code, and with luck code you start with 1 mp and cant get more cuz no level ups, so you get stuck without having to use spells or forms, i already solved it with a code, just put 50 mp as basis, i dunno if it is possible to do such a thing but, it would be cool if in the no exp patch you added so that the luck code starts you with 50 mp, i mean, or less, you are the owner of the mod after all =V just a reminder
