FF3 translation notes (Christmas 2005 initial release) --------------------- To apply this translation to your existing FF3.NES, run the included FF3TRANS.EXE program, select your FF3.NES file in the first dialog, then enter a name to save the translated .NES file as in the second dialog. (Don't overwrite your original ROM!) On non-Windows systems, compile the included "ff3trans.c" program with a C compiler, and run the resulting program like this: ff3trans ff3e.nes If you're using Windows and you get errors trying to extract FF3TRANS.EXE from the ZIP file, you may need to "unblock" the file: right-click on the ZIP file, open the Properties dialog, and click Unblock. In order to make the translation as high-quality as possible, the patch takes the approach of Dragon Quest/Warrior IV and expands the ROM size to 1MByte; unfortunately, some emulators don't support this type of ROM correctly. When the ROM starts, it checks whether the emulator can handle 1MB ROMs, and displays an error screen if not. If you see the error, ask the author of your emulator to fix MMC3 support for 1MB ROMs. Emulators known to work: * MESS 0.101 * NesterJ for PSP 1.07 Emulators known to NOT work: * FCE Ultra 1.05 * NESten 0.61beta * Nintendulator 0.950 There are IPS patches included that fix FCE Ultra 1.0 and 1.05 (apply the appropriate IPS patch for your version to the FCEUXDSP.EXE file), and source "diff" patches for FCE Ultra 1.05 and Nintendulator 0.950.
