Boss Rush Patches and maybe other projects

I know that thprac exists and also there are a lot of patches out there but I wanted to make my own for various reasons

---

Why use these patches instead of the other ones

• You can update them with thcrap: my repository
  
• Changed saved folder so your Boss Rush saves won't corrupt your savegames
  
• Removed all in-game text mucho texto
  
• Stages look as they should when facing its midboss/boss (mostly)
  
• You get resources (Power, Lives, bombs) before the midboss and before the boss (I don't know if they are balanced enough btw)
  
• You can choose if you want to play with and without midbosses
  
• I'm trying to make you face every attack pattern at any game (in th14 you battle both Tsukumo sisters one after the other, in th16 you face every spell from Mai, Satono and Okina, also check out future plans)
• WBaWC and UM patches
  
• Removed continues but no bombs yet
  
• Support, you can contact me in order to make changes to the patches

Known bugs/glitches

---

Non-bugs (won't be fixed)
Most of the bugs here are also present in the main games, I'll only fix them if I already know how to fix them and it's not hard to do so.

• In DDC stage 4 the Tsukumo sisters keep their names between battles so if you kill Benben you will face Yatsuhashi "Benben"
• In LoLK pointdevice mode if you get in the same position as the boss before it spawns you will get stuck dying after respawning (seems to be fixed as of v1.01)
• In LoLK extra when you battle against Junko she is also named Hecatia Lapislazuli
• In HSiFS stage 4 Narumi refuses to die after killing her
• In HSiFS stage 5 Mai second spell if you time it out you will see that the spell lasts longer than it should
• In UM stage 6 the background changes suddenly because it uses an instruction to get out of a loop

---

• I would like to create another category of patches in order to disable bombs and other game-specific cheats like cherry in PCB, Season releases in HSiFS or ufos
• Maybe future versions of the patches will remove safespots (I'm testing the removal of the safespot of Sagume 3rd spell in LoLK)
  
• WBaWC ufo removal patch
  
• GFW manage resources and experience
  
• EoSD manage resources, Patchouli Rush, enable PoC w/o Full Power, force max rank
  
• IN manage resources, merge with 8 stages patch, adjust the requiements of time points to face Last Spells and Point items to get lives
  
• PCB manage resources, Prismriver sisters
  
• TD? remove spirit trance and replace life/bomb souls with lives/bombs or pieces
  
• UFO? manage resources and remove all ufos
  
• SA? create my own Satori Rush
  
• UM card removal?
