Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (Famicom)

Post by PlayerC90 » January 14th, 2015, 3:53 am

Hey, I wanted to play this game on my Retron, but it doesn't work. The game itself loads and works fine, but once I apply the patch it only shows a grey screen.

This is the translation I tried to use: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/764/

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Due to the way the translator made the patch it makes sense why it won't work as-is. If you read the readme supplied with the patch it states that you need to expand the original rom yourself before patching for it to work. He did that based on the assumption that there's no way for the IPS format to expand the rom on it's own (which is incorrect). Of course there's no way to expand the rom yourself on the Retron so I've taken his patch and reworked it so it not only translates the game but it will expand it like it's supposed to without requiring you to do anything else.

Here's the link to my reworked patch:

Please report back if it works. I've tested it on my PC...both reproducing the original result you got and my new patch which was successful...and it works great but I have no way of testing it on the Retron as I do not have the original game.

I applied your patch and played around a bit, it works now on the Retron as well.

That's great, thanks a lot! :D

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it looks like this patch has been blocked for a ToS violation. Looks like the others are working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately I do not have access to a computer and home Internet at this time (personal matters here) so I will not be able to fix this for awhile.

R9, if it becomes necessary I'd be happy to setup some sort of patch repo on a subdomain.

Just let me know if Mediafire gets too dickish. ^_^
