SNES /SFC Must have game conversions and requests

[R9delta]

No problem

Anyway from my experience and testing over months and months of this...the file name has no bearing on a patch's success from what i've seen...with a few obvious exceptions that you don't change the file name extension and that the file name is not excessively long. Of course anyone else is free to offer a second opinion but generally any patch that i've uploaded to my site should work as-is (which is what I aim for)

Excellent, thanks again!

So I noticed you have a game conversion up for The Firemen Japan to US Prototype, is the game complete when patched? I did some digging around and read that the US Prototype rom is a "nearly complete" game. What does this mean?

[R9delta]

The patch just takes the dumped japanese rom and converts it to the existing US prototype rom. It only makes it as complete as that rom is to begin with. I simply make patches to convert from one to another. No more, no less. My knowledge of the US prototype for the game is about just as limited as yours is. So to summarize what I actually know about it beyond that...well....

Beats me *shrugs* unfortunately I'm not sure just how complete it is

Would it be possible to make the following Patches:

Chrono Trigger (Japan) -> Chrono Trigger (U) [T+Ger0.95_TransNation]
Super Mario RPG (Japan) -> Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars (U) [T+Ger0.99a_Alemanic]

Thanks a lot,

Yeah, easily. Unfortunately I won't have access to a computer until tonight but I'll see what I can do once I get the chance.

There you go Though I will say while i appreciate the help (and it definitely did as it saved me some time) I would avoid sharing roms on here simply just to stay on the legal side as possible here. Although that's probably something for hikaricore to address more so than myself.

On a better note though if it's any help to you...you had actually already done a great majority of the work (finding the roms needed) that I do myself to make a patch. That alone is usually a 5 minute process and the rest of it is maybe a 3 minute process.

Here's the rest of what I did to make these patches for you in case you need something else made and i'm not available or taking more time than preferred:

1. Download SNES Rom Utility. That can be attained here: http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/593/

2. Download Lunar IPS. It's available here: http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/

3. Put all your roms you are working with and both utilities in a folder you can easily access on your PC.

4. This step was not actually necessary in this particular case but i'll explain. Open SNES Rom Utility and open that japanese rom you're working with in it. In this case it was Chrono Trigger (Japan).sfc. If the option "Remove header" is available to do then do that and click ok. The rom it saves will be the new one you need to use. You can delete the old one. Rinse and repeat the same process for the rom your writing the patch to. In the case it would be Chrono Trigger (U) [T+Ger0.95_TransNation]. Again this step wasn't needed in your case as the roms you found and shared already had the header removed and the option to do so was greyed out.

5. Open Lunar IPS and click create patch. First you are going to choose the japanese rom you're making the patch from. Chrono Trigger (Japan).sfc. Next you're going to select the rom you're patch to. Chrono Trigger (U) [T+Ger0.95_TransNation]. Now name your patch or leave it as is.

That's it, you're done You can do the same thing for Super Mario RPG or any other SNES game you want to make a patch for

Thanks a lot!

The problem on my side is, that I do not own a Windows PC (Mac only) - so I cannot use the tools you mentioned in your guide. Maybe I will install Windows via Bootcamp in the future on my Mac so I can do the IPS patches by myself.

I've also removed the ROM download link.

Best regards,

Thank you kindly for doing so, as R9 said the legality of a standalone rom is questionable at best. For the sake of the community we'll stick to patches (at least in public communications).

Additionally a huge thanks to R9Delta for maintaining this thread, you do great things for all of us and it's appreciated.
