Final Fantasy III: Antifreeze Hack is a ROM hack for the Super Nintendo that modifies the game to allow characters and monsters to repel Freeze status using repurposed item and monster flags. Developed by madsiur and C-Dude, this hack is compatible with the original FF3us version 1.0 and introduces various patches for enhanced gameplay freedom, released on June 29, 2024.
This hack repurpose the unused "repel Magitek" item flag in FF3usME to make it repel the Freeze status instead ($D85006 bit 3 in the item data). It also repurposes the "block Magitek" flag in the monster data for the same purpose ($CF0014 bit 3). Although you can't set Freeze on a monster in the original game, that option could be useful in the case a rom hack would have a spell or a rage that set Freeze.

This hack repurposes the unused "repel Magitek" item flag in FF3usME
to make it repel the Freeze status instead ($D85006 bit 3 in the
item data). It also repurposes the "block Magitek" flag in the monster
data for the same purpose ($CF0014 bit 3). Although you can't set
Freeze on a monster in the original game, that option could be useful
for a spell or a rage that set Freeze.
The bank $C2 hack uses free space at $C26480 and the EX hack uses some
at $EEAF01. At most, antifreeze-XX-nh will use 59 bytes of free
space and the character or monster only hacks use about half that amount.
Those free space offsets can be changed in a ASM file by changing the
offset of the "seek" macro call.
To assemble the hack use bass v14 by typing a command such as
"bass -o rom.smc antifreeze-C2.asm".
