What are some good Metroid 1 Romhacks other than Rogue dawn?

Anything that has some quality to it is welcome, but I am especially looking for "conservative" hacks that keep most assets (mechanics, graphics, music, items, enemies) and mostly just offer the same experience as the original game, but with a fresh map and different room layouts, item locations, secrets, etc.

I've been going through a very rough patch in my life the last couple of months (been studying 4 months non-stop without a break, all day, every day) and Metroid is by far my favorite NES game. Once I'm through this ordeal I just want to turn off my brain for a while and play some good old Metroid, but experience and explore everything like it's the very first time.

Yeah, I know. It's """Opinions""", and that's OK. Still it irks me to see people place M1 even lower than M2. Sure, M2 added a handful of good new features, but that doesn't make up for the overwhelming amount of aspects which suffered very objectively in the transition (ear-bleeding music, linear map, repetitious gameplay, tiny viewable distance, etc). Sure, a lot of these were simply due to hardware limitations, but overall M1 is a much more satisfying experience. I suspect a lot of people had their introduction to the series with SM and never bothered to play M1 for longer than 10 minutes ("this game sucks!"), let alone finish it.
