HOW TO APPLY THE PATCH:

This patch is meant to be applied ONLY to English PAL version of Landstalker rom. The rom HAS to be in BIN format. An easy way to know if your rom is the right version of the rom is using the Rom Info feature of GeneTic v0.1 (included in the patch zip archive). Open GeneTic, and from the Tools menu choose Rom Info, and select your rom file. If the results reads exactly like the following:

	Landstalker
	(C)SEGA 1993.JUL
	E

then your rom is the right versione, otherise you SHOULD NOT apply the patch, or you'll screw your file. Remember, it is ILLEGAL having a rom file without owning the orinigal cartridge.
If you have the right rom version, but in SMD format, you can convert it to BIN format using another feature of GeneTic v0.1 ( Tools menu, SMD->BIN ).
When you're sure you have the right rom version, you can apply the patch. Here's how you can do it using GeneTic:

1) IMPORTANT: make a backup copy of your rom
2) Open GeneTic software
3) From Tools menu choose Apply IPS Patch
4) You'll be asked to select the patch file, choose landstalker-ita_0-1.ips
5) You'll be asked to select your Landstalker rom file
6) Some messages will tell you about succesfull checksum fixing and rom patching, and your rom is in 
italian language, now. Have fun :D
