Seiken Densetsu 3 (E) - Patched from original japanese version
---------------------


Recorded on zsnes v0.989c

you can download the emulator at www.zophar.net/zsnes/zsnes989.zip


Note:
----- 
You may ask you why I haven't recorded this movie on zsnes v1.36? The answer is simple:
Since the zsnes v1.01 the movie-recorder has been changed and I think it's very sad.
With this new movie-recorder it's just impossible to record movies longer than 10 minutes at least on games like Seiken Densetsu 3, Chrono Trigger and other big games because the player input will not be recorded exactly after this time. The reason is the compressing method which makes the movie-files smaller. But on a zsnes v0.989c or v0.991 there is no compressing method and you can record as much as you want without changes in the movie.
You can still compress with Win-Zip and its the same then.
I recommend to watch the movie with the version of the zsnes-emulator it has been recorded!


About the game:
---------------
Seiken Densetsu 3 is by far the hardest game to beat compared to all RPG games I made a movie before. One little mistake and you can lose the game at most on enemies like Nightblade's, Swordmaster's, Werewolf's and Bee's. They all can make fullscreen attacks of more than 450 HP damage each, and if you aren't extremely carefull with this guy's then it will be a safe end for you. This movie has something really special and can be called a masterpeace. With absolutely no saves and with just one zmv file I was the whole game under constant danger to lose all. But I still challenged even at the near end of the game the strongest secret enemy "The Black Rabbit". Because of this all I can say for sure this is a movie of extremely high skill level, a real thrill. Before I recoreded this movie I trained in all dangerous places or against hard bosses to be prepared and it was worth. One more problem was to get the weapon/armor seeds and randomly convert them in all equipment I need.


Instructions how to turn the original version into english:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Download the original "Seiken Densetsu 3 (J)" rom

2. Download the English Translation Patch v1.01 of Neill Corlett at www.neillcorlett.com/sd3/index.html

3. Unzip the file in a folder and run "Install.exe"

4. Just choose the original "Seiken Densetsu 3 (J)" rom (as smc) and click OK. Thats all!


How to playback the movie:
--------------------------
Just rename your patched rom in "seiken3e.smc" (the sames as the zmv movie file) and put this file with the movie-file "seiken3e.zmv" in the same folder. Now start the "zsnes v0.989c emulator" load this rom and then just go to "MISC" in the main menu and click on "MOVIE OPN" and in the next window on "PLAY". The playback starts.


Hint's:
-------
You can speed up the movie by pressing the "fast foreward" button or by changing frame rate in "CONFIG" ---> "OPTIONS". Remove the mark from "auto frame rate" and write "9" in the letterbox for 9-times faster playback as normal.

You can save till 10 different savestates during the movie-playback. Press "f3-button" for chosing a state then press enter. Now press "f2-button" to save a state. You can play from this points yourself if the movie-playback has finished. But NEVER press "f4-button" during a movie-playback because this will load a state and cancel the movie. You can load the states AFTER the movie-playback has finished.
