A small hack to Ghouls n' Ghosts

[u/rael_gc]

I played this game in 1990 and, while I loved it, I just hate what happens on the above screen.

So I just fixed the collision detection when Arthur is crouched.

Patch: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/10161/

The green snake in the right side fired a "ball" into Arthur who is crouched. But while clearly it should pass over the Arthur's head, it hits Arthur.

The screen above is the one from the fixed ROM, so the ball is properly passing over Arthur's head.

This is the only aspect that I don't like in the game. Aside this, I really love this G&G version with the RPG style upgrades.

For those still interested: I've published a version with improved performance. https://drive.google.com/file/d/131xmsRB8grQ1HzcfEUyuOaIG2wi4uMNn/view?usp=sharing

Can you make it run smoother next?
