With this patch you can now play the GameCube link cable bonus levels without needing to link the game!
Download here from romhacking.net
The patch makes all 10 bonus levels playable directly from the ROM. Once all 10 bonus levels have been beaten Ly's Punch Challenge 3 will unlock.
Note: This patch only works for the EU version of the game. The GameCube connectivity has also been entirely disabled.

Great stuff RayCarrot! Even 20 years after the release, it's never too late to fix a broken game.

Thanks
For those interested I also made a
Twitter thread recently describing the technical details behind how this patch works.

Impressive work, this must have taken quite some time to reverse-engineer.
Have you thought about documenting this in a more "reader-friendly" than a Twitter thread by the way?

Hm, any suggestions where? I don't have a blog or anything like that to do it on and you can't add that many images in a post on here. Otherwise it'd be nice to document it better somewhere since I had to simplify things quite a bit in the Twitter thread to fit.

As for images in forum posts, I regularly run a tool that uploads them here when hosted externally, so it shouldn't matter too much either.
