Marioland / Metroid 2 full colour romhacks

Myself and spikeman have been tag-teaming the gbcolorizer code and have managed to get colorized gb games running on real hardware:

Here's the patches in their current states.

Metroid 2:

Marioland:

Spikeman is working on fixing that annoying random glitching tile bug. Once that's fixed really these will be running flawlessly. I'm currently getting people to playtest metroid 2 since I don't know the game very well and I figure someone with experience could plow through it much faster than myself.

Hardware testing was done on a couple of gameboy devcarts I built. My mbc 5 devcart supports uv eproms up to 1mbyte and dip flash chips up to 512k. Also my mbc5 cart has the largest size sram and a battery circuit so it can save your game as well.

Finished your version of colored super marioland a few days ago. it was great. no glitches, a few colorization issues here and there which i assume cannot be corrected because of restrictions of gbcolorizer. these are really minor issues. late colorization of some sprites, a few wrong colored sprites here and there.

good luck on future projects and thanks to the all contributers.

Marioland 2 I fixed it crashing with the colorizer code:

You can play it start to finish in an emulator. Making it work on real hardware would require relocating the original game code. I don't like marioland 2 that much so I can't be bothered.
