  qb'      This patch is a translation  of an 8-bit Nintendo  ROM image. `qb
,d$b.      A ROM image is a  file dumped from a  cartridge copier device ,d$b.
$$  '      onto  a computer.  Essentially, it's a replica of a  Nintendo `  $$

`  $$      The  particular  ROM image that  we've translated  comes from $$  '
  qb'      a game  called Final Fantasy 2,  released  by Square of Japan `qb
,d$b.      in 1988.  We are translating it  because it was never brought ,d$b.
$$  '      over to America originally.  When most people  think of Final `  $$
`qb        Fantasy 2,  they think of the  Super Nintendo  game featuring   qb'
,d$b.      Cecil and Kain,  but that game was actually  Final Fantasy 4. ,d$b.
`  $$      (Square rearranged the  numbers around  for Americans to hide $$  '
  qb'      the fact that they had been denying  us some of their games.) `qb

$$  '      With this in mind,  we decided to finally  ressurect the game `  $$
`qb        and  let Americans  play it for  the first time.  Although by   qb'
,d$b.      today's standards it  is far from state-of-the-art,  many can ,d$b.

`qb        When we broke up,  I told him I would let  him take over full   qb'
,d$b.      responsibility of getting it translated on his own,  on a few ,d$b.
`  $$      conditions.  one of  those conditions  was  that he had to DO $$  '
  qb'      something  with it;  he  couldn't  just  let it go to  waste. `qb
,d$b.      Unfortunately,  that's  exactly  what happened.  He was going ,d$b.
$$  '      to finish it up, but he wanted to expand the overall ROM size `  $$
`qb        to fit in all the extra text, which is near impossible.         qb'

,d$b.      Many  techniques  here go above  'classic' ROM  hacking.  For ,d$b.
$$  '      instance, thanks to BiGWieRD's X-Late 3,  we have the ability `  $$

,d$b.      means is  that if we have a  byte  left over here and  there, ,d$b.
`  $$      we can optimize space by using that extra byte somewhere else $$  '
  qb'      that it's needed.  If you would like to know more  about this `qb

`qb        Another  technique is  one of DTE  (Dual Tile Encoding).  DTE   qb'
,d$b.      method was cracked on 1/16/98, meshed by the combined talents ,d$b.
`  $$      of Landy, Alex W. Jackson,  and Dark Force.  What it means is $$  '
  qb'      we took  advantage of a  coding technique  Square uses in its `qb
,d$b.      japanese for the "chon chon" marks. Since there are two tiles ,d$b.
$$  '      used in  chon chon characters,  we took the  subordinate tile `  $$
`qb        and placed  it after the  dominant character,  allowing us to   qb'
,d$b.      display two  characters with  just one byte  call in the ROM. ,d$b.
`  $$      When first  implemented,  we  had about  1000 extra  bytes to $$  '
  qb'      work with (!!!),  so ever since then  there's been a lot more `qb
,d$b.      leniency  concerning detail  and story length.  Without this, ,d$b.

Final Fantasy II - Translation-patch
Manufacturer           Neo Demiforce
Downloaded at     Role Playing Games
Version                         1.02

You will need the FF2-ROM and the uCON-tool to apply the patch.
The uCON you will find at my homepage.
Try AltaVista to get the FF2-ROM.
Attention!
You will only get the NESticlepatch from this file!
The other files took place and Demi's program didn't work anyway!

How to apply the patch to the FF2-ROM:
1 Place the patch, the ROM and the uCON in the same directory.
  For example right on your harddrive: C:\
2 Get out to DOS and write: ucon i ff2.smc ff2patch.ips
3 The game is patched! Run it on your favorite emulator.
  I think the best are either Zsnes or Snes9x which you can get at my site.

This game is cool. Really cool!
Look at the graphics, listen to the music and enjoy the story,
the whole thing is just to cool!
Thanks Neo Demiforce!
