------------------------------- DEDICATION -------------------------------
This translation is dedicated to Ashley since I know how much she loves
cute little furry things like Hello Kitty. Make sure to send her lots of
shiny happy things any time you see her on IRC.

------------------------------ INTRODUCTION -----------------------------
Well, for once it's a Sanrio game that isn't a blatant clone of another
game. There are several similar platformers (Mappy comes to mind) but
none with the queen of kawaii, Hello Kitty. The goal of the game is to
water all of the flowerpots until the flowers bloom. While attempting
this, you have to avoid squirrels, snails & beach balls. In a sadistic
twist, Hello Kitty has a big mallet she can use to squish those pesky
critters. Make sure to stand still for a few moments to see the
subliminal anti-video game animation. And I always thought Sonic the
Hedgehog was the first character to do something when he got bored.
Guess that just proves that Kitty-chan is ahead of her time.
A note on the title translation. The literal translation of the title
is Hello Kitty's Field of Alpine Flowers. That's hard enough to say,
let alone try to hack into a game, so we decided to take liberties and
shorten it a big. Hello Kitty's Flower Garden was the obvious choice
and the word's KITTY's GARDEN appear twice in the ROM if you look at it
in a hex editor with no table loaded. However, since the action takes
place inside instead of in an outdoors setting, I decided to go with
Hello Kitty's Flower Shop.
-------------------------------- HISTORY --------------------------------
v. 1.00 - August 27, 2000
What's Complete
- all text translated (I believe.)
- minor graphics hacks (Title Screen & Level Graphic)
What's Incomplete
- nothing that I'm aware of
- there are some Japanese characters in the ROM I didn't find in-game

Translating - Musashi - http://gaijin.romhacking.com
I basically did this project just so we could add it to the list of
fully translated Sanrio games. It was perfectly playable without the
translation but I figured I might as well do it anywayz. I believe this
is the first game to be hacked entirely while sitting on the toilet.
--------------------------------- TOOLS ---------------------------------
The following tools were used for this translation:
Hexposure: hex editing for translation and graphic maneuvering
Tile Layer: graphics hacking
Nesticle: some graphic hacking
SNES Tool: patch creation
-------------------------- PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------
Patching a ROM is extremely simple. You need three things. A ROM,
the patch and a patching program. To patch with IPS, you simply
type "ips <ROM name> <patch name>". So if the name of the ROM was
HKFS.nes you would type "ips HKFS.nes HKFS.ips" and your ROM is now
in English. Make sure you have all the files in the same directory
if you have a problem.
To patch a ROM with SNES Tool, simply select USE IPS, choose
the patch and then choose the ROM to affix the patch to. It's self
explanatory. If you can't figure it out, the game is probably too
hard for you anywayz.
