Hack description

This patch simply allows the player to go backwards through their inventory when holding down the L button, very handy late in the game when you've amassed a decent arsenal. The formerly unused Select button now brings up the victim radar as well as the R button (unchanged from the original game).

Since releasing Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I've received a ton of emails from people who wanted to use this feature in the vanilla game, as well as hackers who wanted to include this feature in their own hacks, so hopefully this will make their lives easier.

New version (by Board_Avenger) retains the original ROM's 1.00 MB file size after patching.

This mod is fully compatible with Board_Avenger's Bloody Disgusting Edition and they work well in the same ROM. To use both together, you can simply apply either one of the two patches to your source ROM, then take your newly patched ROM and apply the second patch to that to get a final ROM with both mods activated.

Enjoy and happy zombie hunting!

Great hack but could be better	Faydgamer	2023-08-19	Version 1.1
Highly recommended but I think it would be better if it changed the controls in this manner; R - inventory right. L - inventory left Select - map Having to hold L and press b to go backwards in the inventory is great, but it would feel more modern if you just press R to scroll forward then press L to scroll backwards, and use select for map. Hopefully an update can happen

I have but one regret:	Board_Avenger	2019-01-11	Version 1.0
I just wish this had come out before I'd written Bloody Disgusting Edition to my personal cartridge! Better get the soldering iron back on again so I can add this to it as well... This is a feature added in Oh No! More Zombies... that significantly improves gameplay so it's great that it's now out as a separate patch for the original game as well. Much appreciated!

Massive gameplay quality upgrade	FlamePurge	2019-01-10	Version 1.0
Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a fast-paced run-and-gun third-person shooter. Save the victims as quickly as possible, or die trying. (Or just fail to save all 10 victims, and get a Game Over anyway.) All four face buttons are used for your weapons and sub-items. The Y Button is to attack, the X Button is to use a sub-item, and the A and B Buttons cycle through sub-items and weapons respectively. Only trouble is, while the player is escaping certain doom, they can often overshoot their desired equipment, having to mash the cycle buttons all over again. This patch remedies that. Accidentally pass a weapon you wanted? Stop cycling and hold the L Button down, then press the B Button again! Don't play Zombies Ate My Neighbors without this. It's a life-saving game-changer. Highly recommended by a ZAMN player of 22 years.
