Golden Sun: The Lost Age featured an unlockable Hard Mode that boosted enemy stats, which wasn't present in the first game - until now.

This is a simple patch that applies TLA's Hard Mode stat boosts to GS1 - specifically, enemy HP is increased by 50%, and enemy Attack and Defense are each increased by 25%.  That's it - no other difficulty or balance changes are applied.  To be clear, this patch simply directly applies the enemy stat changes to the game - it doesn't add in a selectable "Hard Mode" option into the game like how TLA Hard Mode is accessed.

Apply to a clean ROM for best results - however, since this patch only changes enemy data, I think you'd be fine to apply it to a modified ROM as long as the enemy data was untouched.  But as always, be sure to keep backups and whatnot.

You can grab the patch here: GS1 Hard Mode.ips
