For a first use, you can either use the patch or the utility for vanilla maps, they will give the same result. However for someone who would have already used the old patch, I would recommend running the app instead of patching over the old patch, it seems a more logical option. For custom maps, you must use the app.

I have tested all 3 maps. The Falcon rising from water GFX and ending palettes will probably move with either the patch or the app, I have tested the game ending but not the part where the Falcon rise from the water. However I'm pretty confident the pointer is correct since it's the same calculation as the ones before and after and this particular data was only moved and not decompressed / recompressed.

If you want a darker or lighter mini-map, you can tweak the ROM palette colors (see readme) with like SNESPal. Color 1 is water, 2, 3, 4, 10 land / mountain and 5 locations. If you tweak the palette, the logic order is color 1 darker than color 2 darker than color 3 darker than color 4 darker than color 10. Color 5 should remain white. Colors 6, 7, 8, 9 are the Sealed gate equivalents, so logic is color 2 = color 6, color 3 = color 7, color 4 = color 8 and color 5 = color 9. Color 10 is assigned as 8 for the Sealed Gate so it has no proper equivalent. Enabling location hiding on Sealed Gate continent had the result of being 1 color short, I had to choose between the two option so I've chosen the 1st one.
