-- INTRODUCTION --

Okay!
Thanks to Ben Goodrich for his
phantastic megaman 3 level editor, Mega Edit, first
of all. I used Hex Workshop and Nesticle as well.

Well, if you've got this patch from a totally
messy website, it may be you don't know what game's
hacked. Well that's Megaman 3.

To you lazy ROM-site keepers:
Clean up you'r lists from hacks. ROM's is ROM's and
hacks is hacks. There should be more than a million
of them now. Good and bad hacks.
Well, if you seriously feel like adding my hack
on a rom site, include this readme.

Feel free to put the ZIP on you or other sites,
just include eb3.txt.

-- PATCHING THE HACK --

If you don't know how to use IPS patches, read the text below.

The IPS (Internal Patching System) files is used to patch rom hacks
and other files. To patch, you must have a IPS patch file
(eb3.ips), the orginal rom the hack of the IPS was created
of (megaman3.nes), and a program to patch them. (SnesTool or IPS.EXE).
Get these programs on the web. Open the program with the two files
(.NES and .IPS) as it's written in the TXT file following the
patching program. Then the NES rom will be patched to the new file
(The Eight Beasts 3 hack in this case).

-- STORY --

The two legends of the eight beasts and the evil wizard was remembered among the people of the world. In the 1950 AD, a mysterious scientist found a old book in a ancient library, about the eight beasts and their power. He summoned them, and started his plans to have the ultimate control of the world. He also made new, strong beasts out of the old with he's last robot invention, and YOU, the hero of the world, must now save the earth from him.
