About Dirty Pair
======================================================
Background: 

Way back in the late 90's an individual known as Ballz
did an English translation patch for this game. However,
the translation was incomplete due to several endings
that were not known to have existed thus needing no
hacking and translating. Over 10 years later I step in to
finish the game.

Mostly standard procedure on my part as the game was
relatively easy to do and not a lot of text to worry
about. It's probably not the worst game I've ever done,
but it's a sorry excuse for a game that's supposed to be
based on the classic anime series. Even more unfortunate
is that it's the only game based on the series. Anyhow
the game has almost nothing to do with Project EDEN,
a Dirty Pair movie, and even though it consists of just
4 stages, it's repetitive and boring. The movie on the
other hand is actually very good and would've made
for one kick ass game on a newer and more advanced
system like the PC Engine or SNES. So, I recommend
watching the anime series instead of playing this game.

Oddly enough the game seems to be a rip off of Layla.
Thus making it a badly done rip off of a Dirty Pair
rip off.

One thing of note is that I did not bother to test this
patch other than to make sure I didn't mess up the any
of the endings or intro with savestates. As far as I know
it should be fine, but you never know especially for
those brave enough to tempt fate.

Game Tips
======================================================
The game has a total of 5 different endings and what
ending you get depends on your shooting accuracy.
The game divides the numbers of enemies hit with
your bullets by the number of bullets fired.
So the ending you get is ultimately determined
by a threshold percentange starting at 50% and
going down.

======================================================
Patching Instructions
======================================================
The patch is in BPS or xdelta format.

The patch needs to be applied to a disk image without
the 10 byte FDS header. If your FDS game has a header,
it needs to be deleted and can be done so with a hex
editor.

P.S.

Support the game industry by buying used games!

Even if the money doesn't go to the developers
directly, as the games become rare and harder
to find, the price goes up, and people become
more inclined to buy new releases "while they can!"
