===================Kininkou Maroku Oni==================== =================Oni Chronicles -Genesis-================= ===========================V 1.01========================= Genre: RPG Source language: Japanese Platform: Gameboy Patch language: English Author: Pennywise/aishsha E-mail: yojimbogarrett@gmail.com aishsha@gmail.com http://yojimbo.eludevisibility.org/ ====================================================== About Kininkou Maroku Oni ====================================================== Project History: This is the very first Oni game, a Japan-only RPG series that saw about 10 sequels. There were a total of 5 games on the GB, 2 on the SNES, 1 on the PSX, and 1 on the NDS. There were also a few novels and an anime series based on these games. What's perplexing is how a mediocre first game made all this happen. Make no mistake this game is quite flawed, but it's also a decent game. I was initially harsh on the game thinking it was a piece of crap, but as I played through the game, it began to grow on me. The translation started maybe about two years ago and was fairly straight-forward to hack. The ROM was expanded, items were expanded to 16 characters, and you can name your character up to 6 letters. The script was fairly basic Japanese, but with plenty of enemies that were Oni, Yokai and other various things from Japanese folklore. Only a few things in the game were localized, the rest has been left as-is. ====================================================== Game Tips ====================================================== *The main character's default name is Tenchi. If you leave his name blank, that's what it will appear as. *Some of the best equipment in the game is obtained from enemy drops. Be on the lookout. ====================================================== Known Issues ====================================================== I ran into a few random issues that I've had trouble replicating. Chances are you won't notice them or that they are only temporary and not that big of a deal. ====================================================== Patching Instructions ====================================================== I've included two patch formats for this translation. IPS and BPS. For BPS, you will need to download the program from one of the links below. http://byuu.org/programming/beat/ http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/893/ http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=5917 Apply the patch to the Japanese ROM: Kininkou Maroku Oni(Japan).gb We would be highly grateful, if you find some time to contact us with proposals or corrections. 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 aishsha - translation Ryusui - spot translations FlashPV - title screen design Keyblade999 - testing All those who contributed into this process. ====================================================== Compiled by Pennywise.
