That's good to hear. Would be sad to have your SNESC die after all the work you've put in to help the community.

In other words I don't lose the games (or more importantly the progress) each time I do this. Thanks for the clarification.
There is an updated patch in the RHDN thread if you'd like to test it out.
ribm
New patch test.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/fvcsv7
Apply patch to a CLEAN game. Do NOT use SFROM Tool or else you will automatically apply an older patch and break everything. Use ID 1610 on hakchi to enable hi-res.
You might want to export your saves with hakchi so you can import them to the new patched game. It's best if you test the bug starting a new game, but if you want to use your previous save, make sure you use the normal battery save as you would on a real SNES, and do not use a save state (suspend save) since loading a save state, will also load the previous bugs.
Clean JPN game - Lunar ips patched.
No saves, new game - after 1st dialogue box shows up with no issue with correct gamma, from 2nd dialogue box onwards all textbox have the incorrect gamma again.
Afterwards imported battery save just to test and had same issue, after 1st dialogue with any NPC shows up without issue, all textbox from then on have the incorrect gamma.
However the previous issue after repeatedly talking to NPC does not show up in this patch.
2nd dialogue on new game:

I can't seem to replicate your issue. I am using sd3_6.ips (the wind corridor patch - current is sd3_6a.ips with the random gamma issue) and I am using Hawk's intro. After I get control, I talk to the guard outside 30 times (he says "No problems!") but my screen is not changing.
What did you do to get this to happen so I can try and replicate?

Sigh... I wish I could test stuff on my own.
ribm , did you patch the game yourself and ONLY used Hakchi to add the game? Because if you used SFROM Tool to make the rom first, then it automatically patched the game with a probably older patch which caused conflicts with the new patch. Please verify info because demi is not getting that weird dark and darker glitch you initially reported.
Here's the original patch that is supposed to be perfect: https://www.sendspace.com/file/eiqala
Try it again on a clean JPN game, do not use SFROM Tool. You can add the ID if you want (1610 in Hakchi) and test that NPC glitch of the screen getting dark and darker.
*edit*
Forget it, another user did a test and got the same same results as you. So it wasn't a fluke.

with the sd3_6.ips patch, you can try loading my save - 3rd slot and go outside and speak with any NPC multiple times (over 30 plus times when I just tested again for it to trigger, so find an NPC with a short text box)

Ok new patch
https://www.sendspace.com/file/w2t9uu
Please do not use SFROM Tool to test. Just patch the game with Lunar and add it directly to hakchi. Add the ID if you want. Do not load a save state, but you can load the battery save if you want.
Check for the NPC issue, the gamma issue, and check the wind corridor if you know how to get there.
sd3_6c patch tested:
Gamma: no issues after several dialogue boxes
Dialogue box dimming/black screen issue: no issues after testing over speaking with an NPC over 30+ times
Wind corridor: no issue https://imgur.com/a/zKVuZ
Going to actually play a full play-through of the game using this patch as that was my original intent when I first noticed the sd3_6.ips issue and will update if any other issues come up.
Gotta say, didn't expect when I start playing that I would be installing four diifferent patched versions of the game and talking to the same NPC over 300+ times for testing.
Yes, but someone else then said he saw no issue there. Hopefully ribm gets there and reports any problems.
I tell you what, as "wrong" as reversed PIDs might be, going with a different order in SFROM tool is probably the worst thing to happen with regards to this ongoing effort. It really has cause more confusion than it should have done.
Anyway, maybe we can mitigate the effects with a new way of writing PIDS.
e.g.
H1016
S1610
?

I'm gonna have to patch in an infinite lives code, I suck at Battlemaniacs.
Luckily sucking at Battletoads and Double Dragon is exactly what you need in this case.
Edit: Made a patch. You start with 255 lives, which is probably enough. http://www.robin64.co.uk/files/Battlemaniacs255.ips

Just get a game over in the 1st stage, continue, and you'll be a level 4. The patch is just for a cheat, it doesn't "fix" anything. Use ID 1068 / 6810.
Someone use the same ID on Battletoads Double Dragon. Just get a game over and check the message you get for glitches.

1068 fixes both Battletoads and Battletoads Double Dragon confirmed.
Battletoads has beautiful shadows on everything in that level, snakes includeds.
Battletoads Double Dragon showed no corrupt graphics in the scrolling text on game over.

Just got there myself in both the original and the retranslation, yeah, it's fine.
Gotta say, while we're on it, that patch is pretty impressive. The title screen goes from boring to having a full song, the font becomes much nicer, backgrounds have artwork, text boxes have a new transparency feature..
Edit: Fine with 0000 too, so.. /shrug

Got my SNES mini today - I've been trying to flash the custom kernel onto it, but during the final part of the process, the light always turns off, seemingly disconnecting from my PC. When I then try to play the thing, it boots straight into the "Shutting down" screen, turning off a few seconds after. Now, I can flash the original kernel back onto the console and play it fine that way, but I can't seem to find a way to get more games on this thing. Can anyone help me out? Already tried turning off selective USB suspend in Windows 10 and running the program as administrator, neither of which made a difference.
yes testet it and it works with the Id in both the Original German Retranslation and the Later English Retranslation but in the German Retranslation is a weird bug on the World Map, the top and Bottem wobbles a bit
I was sure there was something wrong with it maybe i used a wrong id and messed things up :(

It's cool, man. We're here to figure things out. I'd rather people make a report even if they messed up than say nothing at all, I'm sure everyone here feels the same.
And you might not have messed up. There could be something else going on.

Yes the Retranslation is probably the best way to play this game. GBA version was great only for the run feature (not sure Retranslation has this) but this basically makes BOF2 a brand new expeerience.
It sounds confusing when I say something like "1068 / 6810" but I make the instructions pretty clear on the compatibility sheet on how the numbers work.
I don't use SFROM tool, and go with the assumption that people do it manually, while directing people to the tool and relevant info for those that do.
You can lead a horse to water etc....
Oh? Didn't know that. I wanted to like SNES BoF2 so much, but I hated it. Too slow and the enemy encounter was criminal. I ended up selling the game and buying Castlevania Dracula X, and I didn't regret it one bit.
Did they fix the enemy encounter rate in the GBA version?
This is what you're looking for:

It looks like Retranslation does have auto-dash, per the readme:
