This project alters the Nymashock core for Bizhawk to improve how Castlevania SotN (Usa) performs. It reduces
slowdown, shortens load times, and expands available system memory from 2MB to 8MB. Intended for use with
Bizhawk 2.8 but 2.9.1 should also work. Intended for use with the Randomizer ( sotn.io )

Instructions:
First make a copy of your Bizhawk Folder as the new core should only run Castlevania SotN and not other PS1 games.
Running other games might be possible but is not recommended. 

shock.wbx is a replacement Nymashock core. You must rename or remove your original file which will be in
your Bizhawk\DLL folder. It will be named shock.wbx.gz (Bizhawk 2.8) or shock.wbx.zst

Then place shock.wbx in the DLL folder.
