Original Title: Hoshi wo Miru Hito

Original Language: Japanese

Introduction:
|
|
|
|
(thanks Eien Ni Hen)
|
|
Sometime in the future, there is a boy named "Minami".
|
|
He doesn't know who he is or where he is from. However, he is not without enemies.
|
|
A group of fierce psychic hunters called the Death Psychics, and the Guard Force,
|
|
together with its army of robots, all seek to capture him because he is a
|
|
powerful Psychic. They find him and prepare to attack...
|
|
|
|
A computer called "Crew III" was built inside the metropolis of Ark City to oversee things.
|
|
Crew III has now assumed complete control, to the point of invading people's minds.
|
|
The system was built to cleanse the city of people with harmful thoughts by using a form of
|
|
mind control. The effects of Crew III are powerful enough to strip you of your very
|
|
identity. However, there are a select group of people called "Psychics" who aren't
|
|
effected by its mind control. And so, the Crew III begins to hunt them down. These Psychics
|
|
are captured and taken to Ark City, leaving the 4 main characters behind.
|
|
|
|
Honestly, apparently this game is a legendary kusoge (sh** game) in Japan.
|
|
To sum up some of the problems: the initial town (as well as other places) are invisible, exiting many locations on the
|
|
world map warps you to the first town. The battle cursor defaults to "ESP", and once you've
|
|
selected ESP (or medicine) on the battle menu, there's no cancel button. You can't escape,
|
|
either. Passwords don't save your money or medicine ingreditents, and when you die, you'll
|
|
have to re-enter the password (a maximum 35 characters long, if I remember) to try again.
|
|
Now, you all can have fun trying to play it.
|
|
|
|
The main patch will add password memory, so you can save to three files. (when saving, just select a file to
|
|
save to and push A. To load passwords, just select a save slot and press A to load the password, then press A
|
|
again to confirm)
|
|
I also sped up the characters' walking speed.
|
|
|
|
Though I think most of you would want those, I've included an alternate "purist" patch that does not include
|
|
either of those extras (version "a")
|
|

KingMike - hacking, script writing (hope odino doesn't mind the extreme liberties
|
|
I took. For a "futuristic" themed-game, I decided to attempt to go with a more
|
|
colloquial script).
|

If anybody wants a direct translation, I can do that.)

|
Emulation Status:
|
|
This game should be playable in most emulators. I expanded the ROM from 128KB to 256KB,
|
|
but it should still work in most emulators.
|
|
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
What's done:
|
|
- All dialouge has been inserted. Menus should be translated.
|
|
|
|
What's not done:
|
|
- Much of the battle text has not been translated, thus not inserted.
|
|
(I just wanted to get what I have so far out on this fitting date)
|
|
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
How to patch:
|
|
|
|
MAKE SURE YOU USE A NES ROM EXPANSION PROGRAM FIRST, such as my program nflate.
|
|
If not, you'll have to use a hex editor and make a new file with:
|
|
-the first 112KB (0-1C000F) of the original ROM
|
|
-128KB blank space ($1C010-$3C00F)
|
|
-the last 16KB of the original ROM
|
|
|
|
How to use IPS.
|
|
- Download this zip file.
|
|
- Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.)
|
|
- Download Lunar IPS. http://fusoya.cggames.net
|
|
- Open Lunar IPS. Click Apply patch. Pick the ROM and the patch.
|
|
-If that is too difficult, open Lunar IPS, then close it. Do this to associate IPS files with Lunar IPS.
|
|
-Now just double-click the IPS file, and double click the ROM.
|

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

That's wrong. |
