Notes

=====
|
|
|
|
After finishing Ys 1, I was still looking for something else to do. I
|
|
thought it'd be nice to do the sequel, since the first two games'
|
|
storylines tie very closely together. I knew of another group doing it,
|
|
at http://members.xoom.com/ys_project/ but they hadn't updated in two
|
|
years. I read about their problem, and thought I could help out. But
|
|
a day or so after emailing them, it bounced back. So I just decided to
|
|
take it on myself. I was fortunate that the text was encoded in the
|
|
same style as Ys 1. It did take a little longer to finish than I
|
|
expected, but that was no problem.
|
|
|
|
I don't plan on doing any more Ys games, since the third part is
|
|
already available on the SNES and Genesis consoles (I recommend the
|
|
Genesis one, myself). And parts four and five are being taken care of.
|
|
If you ever get the chance, be sure to play the Turbo Duo version of
|
|
Ys Book I-II. Although it's quite old, it's still an excellent classic.

Instructions

|
============
|
|
|
|
The file "ys2e.ips" must be patched to the original ROM image to play
|
|
this translation. Any IPS patching utility should work. Two commonly
|
|
used utilities are IPS.exe and Snestool. You can find these two
|
|
programs at most emulation websites.
|
|
|
|
*** Always keep a backup of the original ROM image. ***
|
|
|
|
To use IPS.exe, run this at a command prompt:
|
|
|
|
IPS <ROM NAME> <IPS NAME>
|
|
|
|
Snestool has a graphic interface that makes it easier. After starting
|
|
it, select "Use IPS", then select the IPS file, then the ROM image
|
|
that it should be used on.
|
|
|
|
This game has been tested with the NESten and Nesticle emulators. If
|
|
the game shows jerkiness or flashing, try tweaking the timing
|
|
settings.
