Bruce Campbell vs Ganon and the Deadites

      A Link to the Past Rom Hack

Game

It has been many years since Link to the Past and Ganon 
is back to evil.  Link is not around to save the day. 
So, a new hero has to emerge.  This hero is the unlikely 
Ash from the Evil Dead series.  With his witty humor Ash 
must fight through dungeons that have been upgraded by Ganon.
With new tricks up his sleeve Ash searches Hyrule for items 
lost long ago.  With New puzzles and harder bosses Ash has a 
lot to go against to finally be the one to bring peace to 
Hyrule forever.  This game is meant to extend and merge 
both fanchises and at the same time be a little bit of a spoof.

Important game notes
 
1) Game is designed with the knowledge that you should have 
   game save states, You will probably need 100 or so.
2) 99% of Holes are designed to be AN instant game over.  As 
   such, I recommend you save in every room with a hole.
3) There is mature language in the game, not meant for 8 year olds
4) There are new moves/tricks in the game that were there but 
   not used in original game. Pay attention there are hints to help you.
5) Remember if one of my many traps get you and you do not have
   a game save you can always press select and do a "save and quit"
6) some items are not in the game so pay attention to what people say.

Patching Rom

1) This readme should have come bundled with the ips patch file for the game
2) Download Lunar ips patcher executable
         you can get it here- http://www.romhacking.net/utils/240/
3) Find original rom file to patch
         Here is some info on the file I used: 
               File Name: Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (U) [!].smc
               File size: 1.00 MB (1,048,576 bytes)
               File Modified time stamp(though it doesn't matter):  August 23, 2004, 9:27:42 PM
               Header: I am not sure if the file has a header.
4) Make a backup copy of patch file and the original rom just in case
5) unzip and Open Lunar IPS.exe
6) Click Apply IPS Patch
7) Find the ips patch file for the game
         (version may change)File name is: Bruce Campbell Vs Ganon (V1.0).ips
8) click open
9) Find original rom (if you found exact file it will be named Legend of Zelda, The - A 
   Link to the Past (U) [!].smc)
10) click open
11) You should get a pop up that says file patched 
         (this actually just means the file you selected has been patched does not mean 
   that it will work.  The patcher can patch any file with this patch file so popup 
   actually means process complete, hopefully you are working off the same original rom file)
12) Original file you selected is now the "Bruce Campbell vs Ganon" hacked rom so it 
    is a fine time to rename it.

Playing Rom

1) You can play it on almost any rom emulator but I find bsnes, and zsnes to work 
   the best.  snes9x does a pretty bad job.
2) If you do not have any emulators you can find them here in order of prefferance (you just need one)
         zsnes - http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/snes/
         bsnes - http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/snes/
         Other snes emulators - http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/snes/
         snes9x - http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/snes/
3) open rom and play
4) you may need to set input device and reconfigure iput buttons to suit your needs
5) If you want to enter cheat codes all codes for link to the past should work.
         Only code I personally used was (Infinite Life: 0780F7CF) 
         Other codes can be found here: http://www.gamewinners.com/gamegenie.php?game=blslegendzelda.htm

Version history

V 1.0 - Glitched on last boss so had to make a v1.1
v 1.1 - Gave Ash a shotgun holster to make him more ash like, changed bomerang, 
        hookshot, heart, and hammer graphics. Fixed some of the major bugs in 
        the game (it is beatable again). Re-inserted Bomerang upgrade fairy and
        shield 3.

Note: you can swap the roms out if you already started V1.0 but I recommend
      waiting till you get stuck at second to last boss becusae after you
      swap out rom text will be all jumbled after that. (well, untill you 
      beat it then text is reloaded from new rom)
