1. Information-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I saw this game one day, and checked it out, since I've had a soft spot for Othello ;) but 
there didn't seem to be much text to translate and I thought 'what the hell,I'll give it 
a go' ... so I grabbed 'NaGA Sprite Editor' (VERY Cool editor, I might add, maybe 
they could release a companion 'ROM Hacking for Dummies (hell I could use one :P)) and went to 
work. Then someone on ND's message board reminded me of SNESTool's IPS creation feature... 
and this is how it came out :)

2. How to use-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Simple enough, just use either SNESTool or IPS.exe (you could probably find them at zophar.net 
or somewhere) and glue this to your rom image (and you've read enough readme's I hope so I won't
have to remind you that I can't help you find the rom... you'll 'just' have to find it yourself! 
;)

3. Bugs/etc.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I've tested the patched game on various emulators with varying results:

DBoy (Latest ver.): 'Checksum error' then exits, probably the same with any IPS patched game ;\
SMYGB:              it runs, but locks up occasionally, press escape to exit; using the restore
game feature returns to frozen saved game. :\
HGB:                as far as I can tell, works 100%

Release version .001:
------------------------
- I modified all the katakana into english ('romaji') characters.

- What's left:

* Translating the 'Adventure Mode' portion of the game.
* Translation of the quiz segments that preceed each match.
* Translating the 'Replay?: Yes/No'/'Restore: Yes/No' options into english.
* Possibly finding a better font.

Upcomming:

* I *might* seek Neo Demiforce's guidance on this one, since I'm new to this stuff ;)
