Paaman 2 - Down with the Madou Society!
|
|
Patch v1.0
|
|
Release date: 4/18/2003
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
Original Title: Paaman Part 2 - Himitsu Keesha Madoodan wo Taose!
|
|
Original Language: Japanese
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
This translation was produced by:
|
|
|
|
KingMike - graphics, insertion, a couple minor ASM mods.
|
|
Shih Tzu - translation of the text.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to:
|
|
Chris Covell - for his CHR optimizer program, CHARlie. The title screen was just barely insertable after use of his program.
|
|
Without it, I'd probably have run out of tiles, and then I wouldn't have been able to insert it!

*********************************************
|
|
Emulation Status:
|
|
Any emulator supporting Mapper 65 (one of the Irem mappers) should do it.
|
|
Preffered: Unofficial Nester, FCE Ultra, Nesten (needs program v0.61 beta 2 and mapper pack v1.3).
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
|
|
What's done:
|
|
- A couple ASM touches.
|
|
- Translations inserted.
|
|
|
|
What's not so good:
|
|
- Password screen has a display bug. I'm not sure what it is. I'll have to look.
|
|
- Also, as for weapons, "Balloon" became "Ball", "Freeze" became "Cold", "Transform" became "Mystery", and finally "Myst",
|
|
and "Powerball" became "Pow ball". This is because the game uses sprites for each text character (only Irem knows why),
|
|
so I was very limited in how many letters I could use. Also, the available space for font characters was very marginal.
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
How to patch (Windows, sorry non-Windows users. I succumbed.):
|
|
- Download this zip file.
|
|
- Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.)
|
|
- Download IPSWin 2.0 from somewhere (www.zophar.net might have it, but no guarantees. Look for "Utilities").
|
|
- Open IPSWin 2.0, click the little folder thing in the first box. Choose the original Japanese ROM.
|
|
Choose the IPS patch in the lower text box in the same manner. Click Patch. Enjoy!

Who is Paaman?
|
|
Paaman is an anime superhero created by Fujiko Fujiro, who was also the creater of Doraemon, Obake no Q-Taro, and several
|
|
others. It was a B&W anime from 1967 to 1968, and there was a color anime from 1983 to 1985.
|
|
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to come up with much background on Paaman besides that. He looks like an interesting hero,
|
|
though.
|
|
|
|
How to play:
|
|
This game has both side and overhead view areas.
|
|
In either case:
|
|
D-Pad: Move
|
|
Select: Nothing.
|
|
Start: Pause/Change weapons.
|
|
B Button: Shoot
|
|
A Button: Jump (side+top) / Fly (side only)
|
|
Flying:
|
|
In side view, Paaman and company can also fly. Press A once to jump, then press A again while in midair.
|
|
You can now use the D-Pad to fly around. You can still use B to attack. If you press A again, you will stop in place.
|
|
Press B to drop back to the ground. If you get hit by an enemy, you will also drop.
|
|
You will also be able to enter doors (walk into them in top-view, press Up while in side-view). Doors with a P are bonus
|
|
rooms, others let you continue with the stage.
|
|
There are three types of bonus rooms.
|
|
CRATES: Break the crates to find powerups... and enemies.
|
|
TILES: Make a path around the room without retracing your steps. Use the arrow tiles to jump two tiles forward. Clear all
|
|
the tiles to get a prize. I believe you can also get a password here, but I don't know how to use the passwords.
|
|
HINT: In rooms with many arrows, notice the directions that they are going. Since you must remove all tiles to win, know
|
|
that you'll have to cross every arrow. So, use the arrow tiles as a guide to plan a path around the room.
|
|
CARDS: Match the cards. You get three chances. If you turn over an "X" card, you lose.
|
|
|
|
Weapons:
|
|
Punch: Level 1 - Just punch the enemy!
|
|
Level 2 - You can shoot beams at the enemies.
|
|
Ball: Level 1 - Shoot balloons at the enemies.
|
|
Cold: Level 1 - Shoot ice crystals at the enemy.
|
|
Level 2 - Shoot once to stop the enemy, twice to kill 'em.
|
|
Myst: Level 1 - Shoots question-blocks at enemies (?)
|
|
Pow ball: Transform Level 2 - Strongest weapon.
|
|
|
|
Powerups (from completing mini-games):
|
|
#L - Recovers # of units in life bar.
|
|
#P - Increase lives.
|
|
K - Effect unknown.

No distributing the patch with ROM, either pre-patched, or in one zip.

That's wrong. |
