I've worked on a couple small 'port' hacks to bring some CD exclusive features to a ROM format.

First is the second day of Grand Slam mode which features a new set of pin positions (not always 8 entirely new pins and in the case of Germany 14 they're all the same like they forgot to make a new set) and no restrictions on wind on the first 3 holes.

Next is an 'always on' version of the Double Yardage option on CD, club distances are doubled (putter is doubled off the green, normal when putting on the green).

Both of the above are available with the 4 original courses or in the Scotland hack version where Scotland is substituted for Australia (that hack was not created by me). If you rename and replace any of these files to turfmast (after backing up your original!) you can play any of these on Fightcade with someone else with the same file.

Also in here is a file for NGCD to add a new distinct audio track to Scotland using the 2P Credits theme from Metal Slug. Previously Scotland and Australia share a music track. Would be fun to eventually have something like this for a 5 course ROM version, but just a wishlist for now.

If you have any bugs, feedback or anything else, please let me know.
 
I have revised the structure of all of these to be just patch files instead of whole roms and I separated the two Grand Slam 'features' (Alternate Pins and No Wind Restrictions) so that they can be applied in whatever combinations people want.

I have also added patch files for adding a title audio callout on the US/EU bios just like the Big Tournament Golf title has on the JP bios, both for the 'hidden' World Tour Golf title and for the Neo Turf Masters audio imported from the CD version.

Since this creates a significant amount more possible combinations, I thought not keeping them as whole roms is probably the best idea, but any feedback in this regard is appreciated.

These patches are cross compatible with v1.08 of the Scotland hack as well as the regular rom. There is a short jank readme with some notes and compatibility details.

I have tested them pretty extensively but it is entirely possibly I have overlooked something, please let me know if you find anything.
