A few suggestions.

I'd like to second the suggestion for a beginner sub-forum or sticky threads. I've been lurking on here for a couple of days to try to figure out what's where and what is everything on the site. Personally I would appreciate a list with links to commonly used patches or resources. for Example, I want to try some minor tweaks to the SNES version. one of the things I would like to do is replace the monster sprites with the original Japanese versions but I can´t find the sprites anywhere and all the patches I have found online also do other things in addition to change the sprites. I feel like I'm missing the obvious but I can't find it. something for beginners, I feel, would help me and others who are new to this forum greatly.
