REV 1 1.0

About:

An ultra minimalist collection of fixes and quality of life improvements developed by the SF1 modding community over the years, consolidated into a single patch for your convenience.

Installation:

Intended for use with an unmodified ROM dump of the North American version of the game.

Interoperability with existing mods is not guaranteed, however the patched ROM should remain compatible with SF1Editor for further modding.

Use your favorite IPS patching utility, such as Lunar IPS or Flips, to apply the included "sf1-rev1.ips" file onto a non-interleaved ROM (i.e., not SMD format.)
