1.About Chaos World
|
|
-------------------
|
|
Chaos World is a bloody excellent RPG for the NES. It has all the
|
|
things that make today's next-gen RPGs great, without all the flashy
|
|
graphics and sound. And if you think flashy graphics and sound make a
|
|
game, then Chaos World is here to prove you WRONG.

2.Patch History
|
|
---------------
|
|
Chaos World started waaaaay back in the summer of '99, as my first
|
|
really big translation attempt. Xeur offered to translate the script,
|
|
and by sometime in October, had returned all of the smaller blocks and
|
|
all but one of the large blocks to me. At that point, he took a job in
|
|
Japan, and lost touch, leaving the last major dialogue block without
|
|
a translation. So I pieced together what I had, and released an almost-
|
|
playable patch to the masses. Unfortunately, there were a few fairly
|
|
major bugs - the guild text was messed up in places, and King Ruval,
|
|
when he was supposed to commission you to rescue Prince Levin from the
|
|
kidnappers early in the game, just sorta stared blankly at you. As a
|
|
result, the text-embedded story flag was never switched, and you could
|
|
not go any further ^^; There was also a bug in the battle text which
|
|
has since been resolved: In April or so of '00, Jair helped me with
|
|
some minor assembly modifications. Basically, we rearranged the
|
|
placement of monster names so that we could fit longer names in. After
|
|
that, the project was unfortunately rather dead in the water... that is
|
|
until Xeur resurfaced in January of 2001 and returned the last of the
|
|
script to me ^_^

5.Application Instructions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Download SNESTool from your favorite emulation utility site, and unzip
|
|
it to the same directory as your Japanese Chaos World ROM. Before doing
|
|
anything else, make an extra copy of the Chaos World ROM by right-
|
|
clicking it and choosing copy, then right clicking in a blank area and
|
|
choosing paste. Now let's say your original Chaos World ROM is called
|
|
"chaosw.nes". Double-click SNESTool, choose "Use IPS" from the menu.
|
|
Pick whichever version of the patch you wish to use on the ROM, then
|
|
pick the ROM itself. Load in your favorite emulator that's not LoopyNES
|
|
or NESticle or any of the other numerous emulators that don't support
|
|
Chaos World and have fun!

6.Translation Notes
|
|
-------------------
|
|
I figured I'd better throw this in here, 'cuz a few things were, in
|
|
fact, changed.
|
|
|
|
The main character's father had a name change. He's now "Mars" instead
|
|
of "Marvellous" which was just WAY too big.
|
|
|
|
In each of the regions, at least one townie said something to the
|
|
effect of "You're killing monsters as you travel? Wow!" I gave these
|
|
poor, unimportant souls the Working Designs treatment. See if you can
|
|
spot 'em ;)
|
|
|
|
Karlintz became Carlint because it was already hacked in before anyone
|
|
realized that it was a mistranslation ^^;
|
|
|
|
Droll Ogre has become Draw Omega, just because that particular
|
|
mistranslation RULED.

7.Patch Notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
What's the difference between the "a" patch and the "b" patch? Well,
|
|
when hacking the game about a year and a half ago, doing all sorts of
|
|
technical crap manually, I accidentally stumbled upon a bug that made
|
|
me laugh my head of. The solution was fairly simple, but I just loved
|
|
walking up to one townswoman in particular at the VERY beginning of the
|
|
game, and having her curse at you and throw you into a battle that you
|
|
can NOT win :D Of course, her text changes after speaking with the
|
|
King, so there's no way for you to power up before talking to her ^_^
|
|
|
|
Since I loved the bug, I figured I'd let the world see it. Apply the
|
|
version A patch and talk to the woman walking around by the gravestone
|
|
as soon as you start the game :) The version B patch is identical to
|
|
the version A patch (except that it doesn't have her bug) so they
|
|
should be hot-swappable without having to download a new ROM.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
