Castlevania Advance Collection

Braden Farmer edited this page Sep 27, 2021 · 5 revisions

The Castlevania Advance Collection contains several different Castlevania titles for the Game Boy Advance and SNES, as well as various bonus content. The collection can be purchased on Steam here.

All of the games that come in this collection can be extracted. Please note that the Game Boy Advance games in this collection have the following issues when run inside a third-party emulator:

  • None of the GBA games have working sound. This is due to the enhanced audio added as part of this collection, implemented as WMA files instead of emulated audio.
  • If using a GBA BIOS, it must be disabled in your emulator in order for the games to boot.
