Yesh, but maybe I was busy at that time and forgot to reply. I'll do that after sending this VM. ;)
Anyway, yesh, I am aware of Chao's position being slightly...not aligned. That's a ROM bug that I don't think I can fix. You can however fix it by going out of that map and going back in again. I think Chao's slightly off position is caused by the reason that the original map is where the moving truck is, and since I removed the animation, Chao wasn't repositioned properly. :/ Aw well~
And about patching over an already patched ROM, yesh, that is quite simple to do. I plan of doing that later when beta 2 comes out. ^^
...and also, v1.2 is the latest version, btw~ >.>
