Chrono Trigger: Unsightly Pixel

Chrono Trigger: Unsightly Pixel is a patch for the Super Nintendo game Chrono Trigger, authored by Gi Nattak. It addresses a minor graphical error involving a stray light brown pixel on town maps caused by compression issues. The patch removes this pixel, which mistakenly appears in the grass due to overlaps in shadow graphics, without significantly altering the original appearance of the scene.

There is a small stray light-brown pixel that exists on the town maps thanks to a graphic compression issue. This patch removes the pixel, which is actually part of the upper left house's shadowing pixels, but due to how the graphic gets compressed it shares a spot with a totally separate house and thus winds up right in the middle of the grass in front of said house. Removing it barely effects the look of the upper left house's shadowing and in turn removes this mistake of a pixel from being where it shouldn't be.

Description:

There is a small stray light brown pixel that exists on the town maps thanks to a graphic compression issue. It is quite hard to notice, but once you do I guarantee you will never be able to unsee it. This patch removes that pixel, which is actually part of the upper left house's shadow pixels, but due to how the graphic gets compressed it shares a spot with a totally separate house and thus winds up right in the middle of the grass in front of said house. So removing it barely effects the look of the upper left house's shadowing, and in turn removes this mistake of a pixel from being where it shouldn't be.
