Very little help needed but Sliver X seems to have moved on from this hack!

I've made a very small addendum patch to Sliver X's Recca - Pure patches, thus raising the version up to v1.01…

Fixes: Changed the text from “SELECT: HARD/EASY” to “SELECT: HARD/NORMAL” on
the title screen, as it is more accurate, and added a missing space
after the “:” in the “Alternate Title Screen” version of the patch.

…Due to my hacking skills not being nearly as good as Sliver X, I was unable to shift the text “SELECT: HARD/NORMAL” as much to the left as I would like (in order to center the text more precisely) but it's not very noticeable. That said, if anyone can manage to hack the ROM to have the text better centered on both patches please contact me! Shifting the text space to the left should be about perfect but it will probably require ASM hacking. I already shifted the hex values for the characters to the left as far as I could. (I believe it'd be appropriate to call the patch version 1.02 once this is fixed.)

After that, if anyone is interested, there are some rather comparatively substantial things I'd like to see added but they're not at all vital. They are as follows...

1. Add a title screen menu option for the sound test (and make sure the button code for activating stage select can still work when selecting sound test via the menu.)
2. Make hard mode (along with the fire effect and the "select:" text) deactivate/disappear whenever the cursor on the main menu is next to "Score Attack" or "Time Attack". In addition, not allowing them to be turned back on until the cursor moves to the other options would be good as well. (Am I correct in my understanding that only the normal game and zanki attack are harder when hard mode is active? If so, the above hack could clear the confusion some may have thinking the score and time attacks can be made harder too.)

Lastly, thanks to all who even remotely consider helping!

Changing a single word wouldn't even quality as a .01 increment in version to me. Even if it were, you know, done properly.  Roll Eyes

Seems you're just nitpicking shit that I did. The behaviors you're bitching about are how the game works normally... I simply added the ability to pick two of the obscure game modes from the title screen.

I would be lying if I said your insistence on "improving" the hack isn't starting to piss me off, especially considering you seem to have next to no idea of what the hell you're even doing.

p.s. Drop all the bold lettering: It makes you look like a jackass.

It was never my intent to make you mad. I admit I'm nitpicking. I apologize.
