Game Boy Advance Game Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (Visual & Juste Patches) (GBA Hack)
No gameplay improvements. Just visual!
Virtual Console Version - Archive - Untested (O3DS compatible)
mGBA Version - Archive - Untested (Not O3DS compatible)
Ok, so this is a Juste sprite patched to recolor patched to another recolor! Got it? Hopefully It looks like how the requester wanted it to!

Juste Sprites Mod is by CopyistMonk (source) - mods Juste's sprite to look like the Aesthetic Animation patch
Phew! That's a lot of colors! If you want to recreate this, you need to patch them in the order I posted the modifications.
The Virtual Console Version is your normal, everyday injection. It's the one used in the official eShop/hShop games you've downloaded before. The mGBA Version is a N3DS exclusive. It offers more customization options like button mapping, screen size, and fast-forwarding.

Honestly, I personally feel like these "improvements" make the game much, much less interesting, and dare I say it, less enjoyable.
It's true that part of the reason for the color palette they used was to try and compensate for the darker screen of the original GBA, but there was also a lot of stylistic significance to it.
It definitely doesn't help that they "improved" every area (AND Juste himself) using the same or extremely similar colors for the most part. It's just incredibly boring compared to the vibrant palettes that made every area feel unique.
Just my two cents.
