1.About Super Robot Wars 3
--------------------------
Super Robot Wars 3 ("SRW3") is a strategy/RPG
in the same basic vein as Shining Force, just
with slightly more strategy and slightly less
RPG. It features a conglomeration of mecha from
a variety of anime series, as well as a few unique
original creations to tie the stories together.

The series contained in SRW3 are:
Gundam 0079, Char's Counterattack, Gundam 0080,
Gundam 0083, Z Gundam, ZZ Gundam, Mazinger Z,
Great Mazinger, UFO Robo Grendizer, Yuusha
Raideen, Getta Robo, Daitarn 3, Choudenji Robo
ComBattler V, and the Masoukishin originals.

2.Patch History
---------------
Work started on SRW3 waaaaaay back in June of Y2K.
Akujin dumped the script, translated much of it, and
returned it; by the following winter, things were very
much looking up. A few snags were hit, though - mainly
in the combat dialogue, the chapter titles, and the
compressed graphics (such as the title screen.) With
the help of others, and with my own steadily increasing
romhacking skills, the patch was finally completed to
the point you see here.

December 25, 2002 - Initial version 1.00 Release

----------
3.Features
----------
-300 kilobytes of English script!

-An extra 512K of blank space was tacked onto the end of
the ROM to accomodate the new script, and the method that
the game uses to find its text was reprogrammed so as to
make full use of this new space.

-Expanded quick-status and unit select windows during
missions!

5.Known Issues
--------------
-Some unit, attack, and character names are too long for
their windows. Nothing can be done about this at this point,
but it shouldn't be overly obtrusive and should not impact on
your enjoyment of the game. This may or may not be fixed at
some point in the future...

-Some of the stage names will probably only partially display
on a copier. This is due to the SNES' sprite display limitations
as well as my own initial lack of understanding of the game's
graphic displays. This may or may not be fixed at some point in
the future...

-The character/unit scrollbyes in the ending sequence don't always
display 100% correctly if a unit or character name is too long for
its window. There is currently nothing I can do about this.

6.Application Instructions
--------------------------
If using SNES9X, make sure that the patch has the same name as your ROM.
In other words, if your ROM is called "srw3.smc" make sure the patch
is "srw3.ips" okay? If you're using a Mac, a Mac IPS patcher is
available. Check the AGTP Links page. If you're using a copier, you
probably already know how to patch the ROM :) Be sure to apply the
patch to a clean copy of the ROM, and make sure your ROM HAS
a header. If you right-click the ROM and select Properties, it
should read "Size: 1.50MB (1,573,376 bytes)". SNESTool will add all
of your headers for you easily, and you can find it at
http://rpgd.emulationworld.com
In the utilities section, click on the IPS Tools link.
The answers to the questions it asks you do not matter unless you're
using a copier to play the game.
