======================================================= =========================Gyruss======================== ==========================V1.01======================== Genre: Shooter Source language: Japanese Platform: Famicom Disk System Patch language: English Author: Pennywise E-mail: yojimbogarrett@gmail.com http://yojimbo.eludevisibility.org/ ====================================================== About Gyruss ====================================================== Background: Woo boy, this translation has been on my backburner since 2010 and I never really made a serious attempt at translating it until now. One of the things complicating the project was that the font was compressed with RLE. I had it all figured out, documented etc, but never did anything more since I don't do any high-level programming. Fast forward until recently when rainponcho graciously provided me with tools to take care of the font and now I have a complete translation for everyone. So, Gyruss was actually ported to the NES and released only in the US, but the port removed the intro and ending text. Not that it was super important, but it's now all in English with better sound. Enjoy Toccatta and Fugue in D Minor NES style! ====================================================== Version History ====================================================== 1.0 - initial release 1.01 - slightly slower intro text scroll speed ====================================================== Patching Instructions ====================================================== Due to limitations in the IPS format and the changes I made to the ROM, I'm only supporting BPS and xdelta formats for this game.

Information on found bugs or corrections would be highly appreciated. 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!" ====================================================== Credits go to: Pennywise - hacking, text editing rainponcho - graphic compression tools Ryusui - translation cccmar - testing ====================================================== Compiled by Pennywise.
