My version is this:
Code: Select all
#Only one difficulty option
%patch $1F978 $0008W $0000W $0059W $0000W $0000W $1F93RW $00000000L $0000W $0000W $0000W
%patch $1F942 $0000W $0000W $0000W $0000W $0000W $00000000L $0000W $0000W
%patch $33656 "BEGIN GAME" $00
The first line changes the '1' in the menu setup to 0, stopping you selecting other options and getting the weird stuff. The second line removes all other options. This simplifies down to:
Code: Select all
%patch $1F988 $0000W
%patch $1F942 $0000W
%patch $33656 "BEGIN GAME" $00
But hey! Let's just skip the difficulty menu entirely! For this we just swap the 'new game' menu string with the 'medium' menu string. Then selecting 'New game' sends you to the Shadowlands!
Code: Select all
#Skip difficulty menu, start on normal difficulty
%patch $1FD80 $0001W $0000W $0031W $48BFW $0006W $00000000L $0000W $0000W
Huzzah!
