Re: Castlevania Appreciation Thread
Sure thing!
The YZB 4MB RAM cart hack was reuploaded here (along with YZB's other 4MB hacks): https://segaxtreme.net/threads/yzbs-4mb-hacks.24601/
Knight0fDragon's translation is here: https://segaxtreme.net/resources/dracul ... -night.83/
And the thread for it is here: https://segaxtreme.net/threads/translat ... -02.24647/
And the newer improvement hack is here: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6184/
The YZB hack seems to be final. The other two hacks, neither has been updated recently but hopefully they aren't abandoned. I haven't been keeping up with either, to be honest, so I don't know if any news exists regarding future updates.

Re: Castlevania Appreciation Thread
Just wanted to call attention to this rom hack of SotN.
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3606/
The major thing it does is remove the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Now the game is in full screen! There's also some bug fixes and a couple QoL improvements.

Re: Castlevania Appreciation Thread
I haven't had much time to dive into them but I've been playing the worst versions of Castlevania: the MS-DOS port and the Commodore 64 port. These are probably not what fans look fondly back on. I didn't know they even existed until a few years ago.
