Spot Goes to Hollywood (Mega Drive) — Quality of Life ROM Hack

This ROM hack upgrades the Spot Goes to Hollywood experience on the Sega Mega Drive with a set of quality-of-life improvements:

Features

• New Control Scheme:
  Choose between two control styles from the Options menu:
  • Original: Classic isometric movement (up/down/left/right = diagonal directions).
  • Revamped: Direct movement based on button input (up moves up, left moves left, etc.).
• SRAM Password Saving:
  After clearing a stage, the last password you received is automatically saved to SRAM. This makes it easier to continue your game after a reset — no need to re-enter passwords manually.
• Region Lock Disabled:
  The game’s region lock has been removed, allowing it to run on any hardware regardless of region.

Requirements

To apply this patch, you will need the original ROM:

How to Patch

1. Obtain the required ROM file.
2. Apply the included .ips patch using a patching tool like Floating IPS (Flips).
3. Load the patched ROM on your favorite emulator or flash cartridge and enjoy!

Notes

• Save data is stored automatically in SRAM when a password is obtained.
• Control scheme selection is available from the standard Options menu.
• No other gameplay or graphical changes were made — the experience remains faithful to the original with smoother handling and easier game continuation.
