This hack brings some quality fixes to the original version of the game for PlayStation.

Main features:

• Removed black bars on the top and bottom of the screen (ingame, menu, final scene);
• Updated the tile maps of all locations to increase the visible area of the screen;
• Unlocked and finalized rooms under the hatch (at the entrance to the usual and reverse castles);
• The positions of some menu items have been changed (expanded backgrounds & frames, etc.);
• Impossibility to leave the castle through the gate by playing for Richter;
• Impossibility to keep the initial equipment of Alucard (avoiding a meeting with Death, using the trick with a wolf, is no longer possible);
• Impossibility of going outside the castle in the location of “Royal Chapel” (in the form of a bat);
• The loading rooms on the global map are now highlighted in white;

Changes in v1.3:

• Activation of stereo sound mode by default.
• The previously missed loading room on the global map is highlighted in white.
