This hack adds SRAM support to Valkyrie's Adventure. Pressing Start at the Game Over screen will save and instantly continue your game. The game also saves automatically when in an inn. If a savegame is detected, selecting Continue at the main menu will load the save, otherwise you will reach the password entry screen. Character configuration/level/XP/money/inventory, armor, and equipped spell are all saved.

For reference, original game functionality was to store inventory in RAM, retained for continuing but lost on reboot as it's not part of the password. Armor and the least significant digit for money and XP were lost every death.


Other significant changes contained in the alternate SRAM + QOL patch:
[list][li]If there's a blue lantern in your inventory, dungeons won't go dim after being lit up.[/li]
[li]Blue armor is now single-use and indestructible.[/li]
[li]Thieves now steal money instead of items; killing them gets your money back, though.[/li]
[li]Winning the game no longer requires having the legendary equipment and a Sandra soul in your inventory.[/li][/list]


This hack is compatible with the unmodified Japanese version, and the DvD Translations patch. Note that translation patch contains some minor late-game graphical glitches.
