-------------------------- DEDICATION & INSPIRATION ---------------------------
|
|
|
|
This translation is dedicated to Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup. If everyone were
|
|
more like the Powerpuff Girls, the world would be a much happier place because
|
|
we could all fly and shoot kewl laser beams from our eyes and the lucky ones
|
|
would have the mutant ability to speak Spanish fluently.
|
|
|
|
I started working on this project in 1998. I released the first patch in 1999,
|
|
over a year later. I released the first (believed to be) completed patch in
|
|
2001, over 2 years after the first. Now, nearly a year and a half later, I'm
|
|
releasing what will hopefully be the final patch for this game. In other words,
|
|
I have no idea what music inspired me during most of the hacking of this game.
|
|
So for lyrics, we'll stick to the song that's inspired me the most in the last
|
|
few weeks:
|
|
|
|
I seen some children / Crossing the bridge
|
|
What kind of life did / they get to live?
|
|
What kind of choice do / they get to make?
|
|
What if it was a / child's mistake?

--------------------------------- INTRODUCTION --------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Tabo's Tactics is actually two games in one. The first is similar to the old
|
|
card matching game Memory. The second is similar to a Rubic's Cube. The twist
|
|
is that both games have enemies and power ups! There's also a 2 player death
|
|
match mode!
|
|
Tabo is another kawaii character from Sanrio, makers of Hello Kitty and
|
|
Keroppi. The games are actually rather challenging for what one might assume
|
|
was a kids game. There are 25 levels in each and some of the later levels are
|
|
nearly impossible.
|
|

|
|
------------------------------- TECHNICAL NOTES -------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The translation is 100% accurate to the original meaning, to the best of my
|
|
knowledge. The original title of this game is Min'na no Taabou no Nakayoshi Dai
|
|
Sakusen which translates to something along the line of Everybody's Close
|
|
Friend Tabo's Big Strategy.
|
|
|
|
As for emulators, therein poses a slight problem. For some reason, Nesticle
|
|
seems to be the only emulator capable of running the ROM correctly in both it's
|
|
hacked and unhacked forms. Nesterj & NNNesterJ will run the unhacked ROM but not
|
|
the patched ROM. FCE Ultra and Nesten fail to run either version. When you start
|
|
up the ROM in any of these emulators, you get nothing but a grey screen.
|
|
However, some experimentation has proven that the ROM will run in these
|
|
emulators if you can get beyond the startup. So I have enclosed save states for
|
|
FCE Ultra, Nesten and Nester. This save state will start the game at the very
|
|
beginning and the game runs just fine. You just need to take the appropriate
|
|
save state (they're labeled by emulator, all versions of Nester use the same
|
|
format) and rename it to match your ROM and place it in the appropriate save
|
|
state directory. Load the state and then you're ready to play.
|
|
|
|
GoodNES calls this ROM Minna no Taabou no Nakayoshi Dai Sakusen (J).nes. The
|
|
original name the ROM was released under was Sanrio2.nes and it was originally
|
|
incorrectly identified by myself as Nakayoshi Daibouken at the time of the
|
|
initial release. Your best bet for locating the ROM is to check a full GoodNES
|
|
archive, though you should import the original cartridge from a shichiya
|
|
(Japanese for pawn shop) for legalities sake.

|
|
|
|
Special thanks to _Bnu for a couple spot translations when Musashi wasn't
|
|
around and I was too impatient to wait and to Spinner 8 who managed to complete
|
|
the Cube game, allowing us to verify the 100% translation. Bonus thanks to Dave
|
|
of Gaijin Productions for the retranslation of the title.
|
|
Thanks to the other people who helped beta test the translation. I'm sorry
|
|
that I'm too lazy to look up your names right now, but you're all listed in the
|
|
credits and more ppl read those than the readme anywayz. :p

------------------------------------ TOOLS ------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following tools were used for this translation:
|
|
|
|
Hexposure: hex editing for translation and graphic maneuvering
|
|
Tile Layer: graphics hacking & font insertion
|
|
Nesticle: some graphic hacking
|
|
SNES Tool: patch creation
|
|
|
|
Most of these tools, as well as ROM hacking tutorials, can be downloaded from
|
|
The Repository (http://www.romhacking.com).
|
|
|
|
----------------------------- PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Patching a ROM is extremely simple. You need three things. A ROM, the patch and
|
|
a patching program. To patch with ips.exe, you simply type:
|
|
|
|
ips <ROM name> <patch name>
|
|
|
|
So if your ROM was named tabo.nes and the patch was named taboev101.ips you
|
|
would type:
|
|
|
|
ips tabo.nes taboev101.ips
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the ROM, the patch and IPS in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
To patch with SNES Tool, simply select USE IPS, choose the patch and then
|
|
select the ROM to which you wish to apply the patch. It's self explanatory. If
|
|
you can't figure it out, the game is probably too hard for you anywayz.
|
|
|
|
To patch with IPSWin, you simply select the ROM you want to patch, the patch
|
|
you wish to apply and then click Patch. Once again, if you can't figure it out,
|
|
the game is probably too hard for you.
