Simple Read Me
Introduction + Disclaimer
********************

Well this is my first try for ROM hacking. I guess that I'm not so good but just trying ( and joins of all those CT spoofs out there ). 
After I've become more proficient in these things, maybe I'll try FF5 ROM hacking later, after this spoof is complete. Can anyone point me to a FF5 table?


WARNING!!!!!
***********

This spoof contains bad ( offensive) language, with so many human private parts mentioned,that is. If you're banned from viewing anything obscene or anything like that in your country, just don't apply this patch. This patch is good only for those who has played the game on their original format ( if a first-timer play the patched game, probably it will be hilarious - probably screwed up too). This patch has been tested and works for me, so it SHOULD work for you, as long as you follow the instructions below.


How to use the patch
*********************

Unzipped the patch using Winzip ( http://www.winzip.com ) or anything like that to another folder whatever you like. Then go to Zophar Net ( http://www.zophar.net ) and download the SNESTools. Unzipped it to the same folder where you put the patch. Now copy an modified Chrono Trigger ROM ( don't ask me where to get it - find it yourself) to that folder. Run SNESTool, select 'Use IPS', select the patch file and the ROM file, press 'ENTER' and you should be fine.

or.

If you use Zsnes, just rename the patch so it have same name as the ROM filename, and then put it in the same folder as your ROM. E.g. if your Chrono Trigger ROM file is named chrono.smc, then rename the patch to chrono.ips and put them in same directory. 


What's New - History ( Spoiler ALERT )
*****************
ver 0.15 ( 50 kb ) - 19 October 2000
- 20 kb increase of this spoof!
- hacked until the first battle with Magus at Magus castle in 600AD.
- I actually didn't test ver 0.13 before it's released, thus some bugs escaped. I've fixed what I found, but some still remain, like a bug in 65000000BC that I don't fix yet because I still can't figure out how to do it!
- WARNING!:- Don't go to 65000000BC before Melchior instructed you to find the Dreamstone ( well it wasn't Dreamstone you gotta find for inside the spoof, but only to give you some rough idea ) to fix the Masamune ( the visit that you won't meet Ayla yet ). The game will stop at one certain dialogue if you speak to a certain people when you go there.
- There's some extra documentation at my homepage <http://www.leenesquare.com> abt. a table bug. If you think you can help, scroll down at my 'Readme and Documentation' section to 'extra documentation' section and take a look. If you know how to fix it, mail me or put it inside the message board.



ver 0.13 ( 30 kb ) - 1 October 2000
- Another increase of 10 KB but I only proceed a little in this game.
- hacked until after the battle at Zenan Bridge with Ozzie in 600AD.
- More bugs fixed!
- All text in Truce village Mayor house being hacked. Another valid reason why first time players shouldn't play a patched game!
- Annoucement: With this so little progress even with 10KB increment, I'll post the next update when it reach 50K in size! That'a an 20K increment from now on.
- I'll make my homepage more colourful form now on!
- Revert back to Winzip as it give more compression!

ver 0.12 ( 20 Kb )
- From now on, I will release an update after every increase of 10kb for the IPS file. So next release will be when the file approached 30kb. Always check it at my website for more updates.
- Hacked until The End Of Time.
- Fixed all the text overflow and forgot-to-be-undeleted-earlier that I've found. If you still spotted any opps, take a screenshot and mail me at my new e-mail address:- maruko@penjejakawan.org 
- Now using WinRAR instead of Winzip.

ver 0.11
- Second release to go along with my homepage revamp.
- The 600AD scenes ( when Queen Leene abducted ) almost complete.
- Probably there's some original text ( that's shouldn't be there ) is left by me and forgotten to be deleted. If you found it, feel free to mail me at maruko@penjejakawan.org


ver 0.1
-First release
-Game fully spoofed at 1000AD, about 30% in 600AD. 


First thing, I wanna say that my English is not perfect. So don't complain if you found a grammar mistake in the patched game. Second, please don't ask me when this spoof will be finished, because I don't know either. But FYI, I've spend much of my free time on this spoof, so expect for another major additions in a month or so. Tell me of any bug to maruko@penjejakawan.org or post it at the brand new message board.
 

Whatever
