Ohhhhh yeah, I remember hearing about that patch for CV2. I never got around to trying it, but I found it on Romhacking.net and both reviews are pretty positive, so I'll have to play through it later. Like you said, the original was a bit too cryptic, so this will likely make it much more enjoyable. It is a bit sad nothing was done to the bosses, though -- being able to walk past them kind of deadens the experience.
