This is a patch of… rather limited utility, but it is functional. Some of the timer’s quirks might cause unexpected behavior, though - users would best make note of the following:
  • Leading zeroes are automatically blanked out by the timer - a timer set to freeze on “070” will show up as “ 70”.
  • Freezing the timer at “099” will cause the “time is running out” music speed up sound to play over and over again.
  • Freezing the timer at “000” will kill the player.
  • Three-letter entries like “OOF” or “WOW” are technically numbers in the context of the timer, in fact rather large ones - ending a level with the timer set to a word like this will mess with the time/score tally just as if the timer were set too high normally.
  • Anything that directly interferes with the timer will likely conflict with this patch - the vanilla game’s own green berries, for instance, will turn a timer frozen at “WOW” into “XGW”, which will then resume counting down.
  • If the timer hits the “freeze” value before reaching the “warp” value, it’ll freeze on its own.

Also:

The following defines are timer values. They can be defined as bytes (ex. $00,$00,$09) or as strings (as it is).

Note that the quotes after !freeze = must be removed in order to define a time as bytes; the same must be done for the quotes around “!freeze” in freeze: db “!freeze” just after freecode.

Tested with Asar 1.71, Lunar Magic 3.03, SA-1 1.31, Snes9x 1.59.2.

Well, it's a tad too specific... but like the fart patch, I feel it can be accepted, since it meets the standards. I suggest you make it a bit more customizable, like letting the user dictate which characters will be shown if timer gets below 10, for example.

Also, does not work with SA-1.

My trolling romhack. You can use it in yours. I'd say this is more of "setup the tools for hacking" than "I MADE DA BEST HAX".
I can as well make it allow you to change the value (any text, ex. WOW, HI, LOL, POW etc.)

I’d say it would be a GFX pack then.
