Introduction 2. Version History 3. Patch Instructions 4. Submitting Bugs 5. Disclaimer ----------------- | 1. Introduction | ----------------- SaGa 3 simply put, is a fantastic game. It is truly an exceptional game that deserved to have an offical translation. But since that didn't and won't happen, that's where we come in. Countless hours were spent to give some gamers a chance to re-live a game from the past, and others a first try. We hope you enjoy our work and that we did a good job at giving you the best experience possible. -------------------- | 2.

Patch Instructions | ----------------------- To get started you'll need an unmodifed Japanese version of SaGa 3. How you obtain that is up to you. Ideally it's from a ROM that you dumped yourself from an imported cartridge that you paid for. To ensure that the patch will work you can verify the CRC of the original and patched versions of the rom. CRC32 can be downloaded here: http://download.cnet.com/AV-CRC32/3000-2248_4-10781906.html CRC values: Original Unmodified ROM: ADADA633 English Patch v0.2.612 597A986D Beta 1.0.780 D462C473 Beta 2.0.827 F184D34C Beta 2.0.830 2AF5AF5A To patch the ROM, simply run the xdeltaUI.exe application included in the zip file. For the patch choose saga3eng_v0.2_r612.xdelta. For the source file select your umodified rom. The output file should be the name of the patched rom you wish to create. Finally click on the patch button. Once the patch has been applied you can run CRC32 on the patched rom ensure your CRC value matches the one above. -------------------- | 4.
