#Nestopia ue skin.png Patch

Extra graphics are taken from a Vampire Killer to Castlevania IPS patch by IMANOK and M.PAZOS. Technically it's 16 colors out of 512 (MegaDrive/TG16 palette) on screen at once. The graphics are from Vampire Killer by KONAMI, released for the MSX2 computer in 1986. This is a Castlevania MSX nostalgia edition Removed annoying background flashing in room-to-room vertical transitions. Replaced bricks in a pit scene to original ones (taken from the earlier generation III release). Added a jumping frame to Simon's animation from a chinese generation III mobile game. Minutes of silence removed from non-looping music tracks, as they are no longer needed. This breaks savestates from previous versions. Occasional original NES notes come through no more. New (but barely visible) background for stages 1 and 3. Updated Game Over screen (taken from the earlier generation III release as well). The bats no longer attack Simon with their backs. Now uses a 'symmetric' sprite from an earlier generation III release of Castlevania mobile. New clock tower scene background in stage 18. Less 'true-to-the-original' mobile release, but much more impressive. New intro (if Akumajou Dracula Famicom ROM is loaded) and title screen by Aclectico. Support for a music replacement in both revisions of the US Castlevania and in a japanese Akumajou Dracula Famicom ROM. In this pack most of the images are taken from the generation III mobile Castlevania.

#Nestopia ue skin.png update

This is a minor update for a 'Castlevania HD pack' released in 2018. Game over and player miss themes are by KONAMI Stage 18, boss fight, stage clear, and final themes are by Skeletroy Ogg track sources are indicated in their respective tags. The gallery in stage 15 contains pictures, not just empty frames (That's my issue, being used to Vampire Killer, I was quite disappointed to see empty frames, when I first reached stage 15 in Castlevania). Clock tower background is from my 'Castlevania 30th anniversary' mod, as it was also omitted from mobile port. Thus, they are taken from the mobile phone Castlevania generation III. Opening and ending sequence and the map were never made for gen.2, as far as I know. Almost every image is taken from the generation II mobile Castlevania.

This is an update for a 'Castlevania 30th anniversary' emulator mod released in 2017. I heavily recommend using this mode, if you are not a Castlevania professional. To activate it press SELECT, then START while in title screen. That specific version of Castlevania is notable for its 'Easy' mode.

Generation I had NES graphics, while generation II and III contained mostly original imagery never used in any other Castlevania game. Some years later I've learned that there were 3 generations of mobile Castlevania. In 2008 I've grabbed the demo of Castlevania for mobile phones from Konami website, and saw my favorite game redone with even better graphics. Ever since I saw the NES Castlevania later, I considered it graphically inferior to Vampire Killer, and dreamed of a port merging Vampire Killer graphics with Castlevania gameplay and smooth scrolling. It was Vampire Killer for the MSX computer. Well, memories aside, the point is that the game I saw was not Castlevania. I can only say it was snowing outside, but this could've been anywhere from October 1987 to April 1988.

#Nestopia ue skin.png series

My acquaintance with the series began at our school's computer classrom when I was in a second grade of primary school. This is exactly my case with Castlevania. In such a case people sometimes start dreaming of an ultimate port, combining the best aspects of various releases of the game. It is common that a successfull game gets ported for a multitude of platforms. Castlevania SD vs Castlevania 30th anniversary:
