The SARS Kung Fu hack is a simple modification to the
tileset of the CHR ROM for the original game. The rom
contained in the zip file below should be playable on
any NES emulator or on
the actual NES hardware itself (with some simple cartridge
hacking). Alternately, you can download the IPS patch below
and apply it to the original Kung Fu ROM yourself. To
modify the graphics of the game, the 8x8 pixel tiles that
represent each characters face were found and individually
edited to add the protective masks. Following the 8K of
used space in the CHR ROM there were 3 more identical copies
of the first tileset, adding up to 24K of space to do with
as I pleased. So, I also took advantage of this additional
unused space in the CHR ROM to hide some special bonus data.
Happy Hacking!
