Hated by all

This is my probably pointless Hard Mode patch I made up in two days, and all what this is is just a patch that cuts item values in half. The enemy damage-ups are coming soon (taking this to a few limits, maybe even to unbearably hard).

And seeing this is just a definition change, it's possible to patch this on any other hack that kept the default values (this obviously doesn't count Redesign).

Remind me of any inconsistencies with the patch (making Missile max 100 and leaving the Reserve Tanks alone I did on purpose for now), or post up any hacks this can be stack-patched with.

Edit: Item Cut+Enemy 2x Damage patch added (Zero Mission style, with Normal mode health). For practicality's sake, I left some enemies with default.

Oh yeah, and it's unheadered.

I made one of these before, it had item changes too, i think max missiles was 100 and max supers was 20, max energy tanks 7. But that was overthrown by my "max health = 01" hack afterwards :D

just played thru the items only version. enjoyed it, thank u. added 6 mins to my time since i changed my route to include cleaning up brinstar before lower norfair so i wouldnt die at ridley. i did die once at mother brain.

im gonna try the items + enemies 2x version now, even though it sounds quite difficult because you will need twice as much of what you have cut in half already.

also, is max percentage 60% ?

here's a nifty snapshot i took when my reserve tank auto-refill kicked in during a nice pose:

Enemies 2x, I didn't double their health (doing that in my next version). I doubled the damage they do to you.

How come the space pirates didn't scream when I shoot them?
