Rondo of Blood English Patch (PSP to TurboGrafx-CD).

[Burnt Lasagna]

This looks great...just don't know/haven't figured out how to insert this into the game itself, seeing this really makes me wish I knew!
Of course there's always the chance that this would be to big, but I really can't say.

I'm not sure what kind of RAM/VRAM constraints the title screen is under, but i can tell you the 'Castlevania' logo and the 'Rondo of Blood' subtitle both fit nicely into a 16-color, 176x128 sprite block.  That totals up to 11,284 bytes of data in RAM/VRAM.  Not much at all, really.  In contrast, the original title logo looks like it's 256x80, which comes out to 10,284 bytes in RAM/VRAM.  So the new logo would literally only be 1000 bytes more in RAM/VRAM... hmm.

That title screen ain't bad at all. Fitting all the data back into the game probably wouldn't be an issue, but I guess there are what you'd call tile limitations in how many unique 8x8 tiles the game can use at a time.

Yea, I didn't change any tiles though.  Just the title logo (which is a sprite).

thats a very nice looking castlevania logo, fits well with the game. We're gonna need these factory pressed with full manuals and inserts!

I have a feeling this wouldn't be too hard for somebody with some PCE ROM hacking experience.  I'd suggest asking somebody like Tomaitheous or DShadoff for some tips.  It would likely involve locating the original logo sprite, replacing it without screwing up data offsets, and then replacing the palette for said sprite.  Replacing graphic data really isn't all that different from replacing audio data (which you're already doing), so you're already ahead of the game, in that regard.

Wait...honda of blood?

I'll try and shoot DShadoff and or Tomaitheous an Email.
Knowing how to change the title screen my also point me in the right direction for changing the text for the boat rower (which I'm also having trouble with).

What kind of compression did the graphics use? I'm just curious. Looking into some PC-Engine hacking

I find it hard to believe all of it's been uncompressed so far but you never know.

Is that the sequel to Prince of Peugeot? -

It has been, the title screen and a few other things are an exception.

I guess they probably compressed the title screen because either the opening or the pre-game cut scene are lumped in with title screen without loading from the CD.  Either way, compression or not, there are ways to skin that cat.

Here's the title logo sprite, if you want to mess around with it.

  I was worried that nobody would notice.

Exactly!!!

[Keith Courage]

why not just release the patch with the original title screen for those of us who like that one more. Especially since it doesn't require anymore work.

Here's a little mockup approximating what it would look like on a real CRT TV...
