A modder has hacked the PC version of Nights into Dreams to increase its framerate and improve its controls — just in time for the 27th anniversary of the original Saturn game's launch in Japan, which is today.
The modder, Colon D, uploaded two submissions to game modification repository Game Banana last week: one that increases Nights' framerate from 30 frames per second to 60, and one that removes deadzones from the analog input.
The framerate mod can be downloaded here while the input mod can be downloaded here.
The pages describe that users must first install a mod loader called Reloaded II to use them.
Colon D uploaded a video to YouTube showing off the improvements:
In the comments of that video, the modder gave some background into how and why she developed the improvements.
"Normally a 60 FPS mod would take a lot of effort, this one did not," Colon D said. "It was made on accident whilst I was making the Input mod."
