Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight Ultimate (PS1 script)
悪魔城ドラキュラX 月下の夜想曲 · Castlevania: Symphony of the Night · Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight
Rafael Silva's fork of Meduza Team's Ultimate patch for the Saturn Symphony of the Night, swapping in the classic PlayStation English script and adding a further round of visual and bug fixes.
What it is
Meduza Team's Ultimate patch already reworked the Japanese Saturn port of Symphony of the Night, improving its performance and presentation and putting it in English with the newer PSP-era script. This fork by Rafael Silva keeps that base but uses the English text from the original 1997 PlayStation release instead, for players who prefer that localization.
What's new
On top of the Ultimate patch's improvements (faster performance, fewer empty bands at the top of the screen, a tougher hard mode, translucent clouds and windows, location names in teleport rooms), the fork restores missing Richter sprites in the prologue, corrects the Fire Shield and prologue flame palettes and stops item counts from overlapping item names in the inventory. Version 1.1b fixes icons that broke after dialogue, missing or swapped fairy lines and some grammar slips.
Playing it
