Makai Island: Insensitive Sprite Replacement

What's changed

Several enemies and buildings in the game, mostly on the first island, were drawn as crude racial caricatures. The unreleased American prototype softened a couple of them but left others untouched, including the Moai statues and totem poles. HangedMan replaced all of these with new sprites made to match the detail and style of Capcom's other games of the period. The only other change is a correction to the name of Cook Island.

Combining it

The hack can be used together with other patches for the game, such as SCD's restoration hack, which brings the American prototype closer to the MSX version.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the game, following the instructions included with it. Version 1.0 came out on 28 April 2024.
