[QUOTE="Substance12, post: 7000990, member: 369219"] This thread explains a method to fix ghosting and dark colours in GBA VC games: [URL]https://gbatemp.net/threads/restoring-original-colors-to-gba-vc.427642/[/URL] Before vs After: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wg7cCfG.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/5rJUCVA.png[/IMG] The process is a bit lengthy though and requires hex editing, or generating a footer for GBA games. I made a script that should make the process a ton faster and easier, only requiring you to provide an unencrypted CIA. Requirements: [LIST] [*]A Windows, Linux or OS X 64-bit installation. I might provide 32-bit support in the future. [*]A Python version 3 installation. [*]A [URL='https://github.com/ihaveamac/3DS-rom-tools/wiki/Decrypt-a-game-or-application-using-a-3DS']decrypted[/URL] CIA of the game you want to patch. If it's encrypted, you'll get an "Unknown file" error. [/LIST] To apply the patch, simply open a command prompt, cd to the folder where you put the script, and run it like this: [CODE]patch.py /path/to/your/game.cia[/CODE] Make sure you have the "bin" folder in the same folder than patch.py! You'll find the patched .cia in the [I]output[/I] folder. Make sure to [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/59yxhj/guide_backing_up_gba_vc_saves_using_decrypt9/']back up your GBA saves[/URL] before installing the .cia, because if an unpatched version of the game was previously installed, it's saves will be lost. [B]WARNING: [/B] [LIST] [*]This was [I]not [/I]tested on OS X! It should probably work without issues, though. [*]This patch may cause issues in some specific games. Make sure you always keep the original CIA just in case. [/LIST] [URL='https://github.com/Substance12/GhostPatcher'][SIZE=7]Download![/SIZE][/URL] Credits: [LIST] [*]profi2000 for ctrtool and makerom [*]dnasdw for 3dstool [*]SuperrSonic for the hex patch [*]AnalogMan for the Python script that patched code.bin [/LIST] [/QUOTE]

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
