Edit: Bugfix release: http://www.mediafire.com/?44oh4ozry1pd3m9

 

To be fair, the GHZ3 emerald monitor is hard to find. It's in an area that existed in the original though, so if you find it, you've found an area you didn't know about in the original!

 

Oh guys, you can make Emerald monitors optional. Just find the secret garden in MZ1. =P

 

Yeah, I'll release a bug-fix version soon, fixing the LZ2 problem. Sorry about that, something I overlooked.
Regarding the chaos emeralds, it's another thing I overlooked, as how many you get are saved, but I forgot to load them. I also need to add code to save the array of which emeralds have been got. =P

 

Did you beat it with the level select code active? =P
