This modification improves the palette transition effects. The code is written from scratch using color tables, which greatly speeds up the game during loading and gameplay.Also, frame-by-frame animation was removed, which caused the red tint to lag, making the colors seem unnatural and faded. This is actually the main reason behind the idea of ​​this hack - to remove color issuesInside the code, the palette effect is applied every frame and uses complex math involving the multiply instruction, which uses many CPU cycles and is very taxing on the code. Now all calculations are pre-calculated and stored in a separate table, which uses much fewer CPU cycles for reading.Features:v1.0Rewritten pallette routine from scratchAdded color tables for fade effects both to dark and lightOptimized palette routines provided faster loading timesv1.1Fixed fade to white effect on boss defeat or eventFixed fade effects on final bossNote: To work with the double jump hack https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8505/, patch the ROM with color first, otherwise the game will crash after you make a jump.
