Hi

I started playing the "Castlevania - Halloween 98" hack but there's a point in the game where it seems impossible to continue. Right after you go through a door, you automatically walk above a hole and fall down. Is there any trick to get past this point or is there absolutely no way to continue there?

Screenshots of this point:

Nope, no way to get past that unless you hack the level and stick a platform there. That's probably where the changes stop anyway, so I wouldn't even bother.

So maybe a solution would be for someone with knowledge of Castlevania to fix it for people. <img src=smilies/thumb.gif>

Meanwhile, I had a look at it with "Stake", a Castlevania hack tool. I could add a platform there and I saw there are changes later in the game too, still I wonder why someone released an obviously unplayable hack. Should I put a fixed version of this hack online for download? Though I don't know what the hacker intended to do with that screen and releasing another hack is probably the least thing ROM collectors want.
