How to tell if you have Parallel Worlds or remodel version?
by on (#156320)
Hi, I have the parallel worlds with title screen glitch. I was under the impression that was the harder version not the remodel. I thought remodel was listed on title screen. I had someone tell me that the version I have is the remodel version?

How do I know which version I have?

The original patch has a glitch in the title screen on real hardware. Here's a fixed patch: http://zelda.qwertymodo.com/gamefiles/z ... _ikari.zip


On page 1 qwertymodo posted a file fix for both versions that should be able to help you out.

Yeah, I already have that file. I am pretty sure I am right and he is wrong.

I'm pretty sure 1.0 has title glitch.
1.1 has fixed title but still PW

Parallel remodel has a completely different title screen that says remodel on it.

First off he told me 2 things that don't seem correct. He said I have 1.1 which is Remodel. According to what Red Scorpion wrote here.

I have version 1.0 as it has the title screen glitch and 1.1 is not Remodel anyhow, just a patched version of PW that fixes title screen and such but has end credit glitches.

Does this thread help? It seems to show how to manually fix the error with hex editor. Hope it helps if not, I can look around a bit for another way still. http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=17732.0

You have misinterpreted this thread. I am not looking to fix the title. I was only looking for confirmation that the version I have is the brutally hard original Parallel Worlds and NOT the Easy Remodel version, that is all.

Ok well I don't know a 100% sure way, but I have played both. In the first cave you get to there is a room with a ton of holes as well as fireballs shooting at you. In the remodel, the room has only a few holes. Hope it helps, this cave is within 5 minutes of game play so should be able to let you know what version you are playing quickly.

Ok apparently the remodeled version is this one.

Go to 5:50 into video

Then hard version is this one.

Go to 6:30 into video

The hard version in the cave where you get Lamp has harder rooms full of spikes and a knight that jumps around.

They both apparently have the title glitch so I guess the version I had was remodel.

Yeah that is definitely the cave I was talking about. I don't think I have been able to get past the "hard version" of that room on a cartridge yet! Was definitely made for the save state emulation crew imo.

What? I went through 1st time lol that's not that hard. You just walk in and before he moves walk up to him and start going left through the spikes. After that all you have to do is walk straight down past the skull thing, he didn't even shoot at me when I went straight down.

Then you only have 2 bats to kill with pots, grab the lamp and done.

I dunno the version I played the fireballs were shooting like they were machine guns lol.

You can see what version you have in Link's House at the beginning.

That's awesome. I just read my new file and it says 1.0

PW1.1 still had the title glitch. There's also a minor 1.2 update to both PW and PR, but I'm not sure if SePH and Euclid consider the PW version an official release. Both of them still show v1.1 on the bed sign.
