One of the most recent additions to the #Castlevania #SOTN #Randomizer was the additional sector load for code and function programming in the game. 14 sectors, 3 for the randomizer, 11 for the preset files. That's almost 9 kb if MIPS instructions! #gamedev #retrogaming #romhack

The April update for the #Castlevania #SOTN #randomizer will be adding, for the first time since their original release, the Reverse Library Card!
We also made a HUGE update for #romhackers by making the randomizer to pre-load 11 "empty" CD sectors to RAM! That's 28 KB of coding!
