Releases: SBDWolf/PMD-Sky-Cutsceneless-Hack
v1.0.3
- Fixed clouds not getting cleared in the world map after certain story points.
- Fixed Grovyle's facing direction in "In the Future of Darkness".
Removes all unnecessary cutscenes for a speedrun.
Both of these patches have to be applied on a European ROM. The US Codes patch makes the Wondermail System utilize the US version of codes, but it still has to be applied on a European ROM.

Known issues:
- Some inconsistent music fades.
- The "Did you play "Explorers of Time" or "Explorers of Darkness" question is assumed to be answered as No. This is fine for every speedrunning category except for Recruit 'em All. A workaround should be to generate the save file on vanilla.
Both .xdelta and .bps patch files are provided.
The .xdelta files are to be applied with xdelta, while the .bps are to be applied with flips.
To install:
If using Flips:
- Acquire a clean European ROM of PMD Sky (note: if using a rom named BAHAMUT, use the BAHAMUT_Header_Fix patch first).
- Acquire Flips from here.
- Launch Flips and select Apply patch.
- Select the patch that you want to apply, then the ROM to apply that to (make sure you are viewing all file types), and then the name of the newly generated ROM file.
If using xdelta:
- Acquire a European ROM of PMD Sky (note: if using a rom named BAHAMUT, use the BAHAMUT_Header_Fix patch first).
- Acquire xdelta. You can get it from multiple places in various forms. Here's a GUI version if you're unsure on which to get.
- Use xdelta to apply the patch to the ROM.
v1.0.2
- Fixed no music glitch on Aegis Cave's first visit (this can happen on vanilla too, but it seemed to happen much more often on cutsceneless, so I decided to fix it);
- Fixed black screen after death in Apple Woods.
Removes all unnecessary cutscenes for a speedrun.

v0.5
- Fixed a bug that made a hacked Primal Dialga starter crash on the expedition guild members selection cutscene before Craggy Coast.

v0.3.1
- Adjusted some music fades;
- Removed a few more cutscenes in post-game (until the graduation fight);
- Changed the English in-game title to "EoS Cutsceneless" followed by the version number to better distinguish the ROM in something like nds-bootstrap.
- Hotfix from v0.3: removed the "Did you play "Explorers of Time" or "Explorers of Darkness"?" question again, as it was using the incorrect kind of Yes/No prompt.
Instead, until I figure that out, for the moment being I have hardcoded PLAY_OLD_GAME to always be set to 0 after the quiz, so that recruit rates are always unboosted (aka, game assumes you've answered No); - This is a change since v0.2, where recruit rates were always boosted instead.
