FILES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PW2ENG10.IPS - Japanese to English translation patch for the MSX2 version of Penguin Wars 2. If you plan on translating the game you only need to apply this patch. This patch contains all features. PW2BGF10.IPS - bug fix patch for japanese version of Penguin Wars 2. Proper recognition of MSX Music / (FM-)PAC S-RAM and some English texts that were already in the game are corrected. This patch is intended for those who want to correct some minor flaws in the Japanese version, but don't want to translate it. PW2ENG10.TXT - this text file. HOW TO APPLY THIS PATCH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. This patch is in the IPS format. That means you need to apply it with an IPS patch program. There are many programs to choose from. On a regular MSX you can use IPS4MSX.COM. Lunar IPS or IPS.EXE for instance does the job nicely on PCs. MAC-users can apply the patch with a program like UIPS. But there are many other suitable programs. If you're planning to play the translated version on openMSX you don't need to patch your ROM at all. This emulator supports soft patching. Look in openMSX' documentation on how to use patches in this way. 2. Make a dump of the Japanese Penguin Wars 2 game for MSX2. If you don't know how to do this or if you don't have the equipment to do it yourself AND own the original cartridge, then you can get one of the ROM files available on the internet. Be sure you use the patch on a clean dump though. Any changes made to the ROM file, like for instance an applied cheat, might result in undesirable side-effects after patching. Make a back up of the dumped ROM file just in case. 3. Place the IPS program, this patch and the ROM for Penguin Wars 2 in the same directory. Apply the patch to the ROM file. 4. On an MSX2, MSX2+ or Turbo R the game should work with any program you ordinarily load MegaROMs with. Provided that you have enough memory of course. On emulators that don't have auto ROM type detection or when it doesn't seem to work correctly, choose the 'ASCII 16' ROM type. CREDITS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tsunami: Translation, beta testing Max Iwamoto: Coding, graphics, font, redesign, beta testing Special thanks to BifiMSX for telling us about the PAC not being able to handle loading from or writing to S-RAM in R800 mode. Max slightly changed the routine. The game will now automatically switch to Z80 mode when accessing the S-RAM. No need to do that yourself manually.
