Thank you for downloading Rockman2 Boss Battle Extravaganza Thing.

This is a translation of ROCKMAN 2 DE IPPATSU NETA by Mr. X (former host of
http://sapporo.cool.ne.jp/kuniokun) (c)2008, which is based on Rockman 2 by
Capcom (c)1988.

English translation by Steve Penninipede (http://sites.google.com/site/spennlue)
(c)2009.  Please let me know if there are any typos or other errors, or if you
liked the game and you're glad it's in English :D


Thanks to:

 -Mr. X for making the original program.  Unfortunately, his site seems to have
  lost to the mists of time.

 -All the smart, patient folks at the http://www.romhacking.net forums for their
  coding and translation help, as well as bug testing.

 -LUElinks/ETI, another message board full of people who performed some last-
  minute checks to see if this thing actually works.

Feel free to distribute this RAR unaltered.

Patching the game
-----------------

Files included in this RAR:

 -R2 BBET.txt: this document
 -Rockman2 Neta English.exe: translates the game into English
 -"bonus" folder, containing two optional patches
	-R2 BBET 1 Health.exe: reduces health to a single point
	-R2 BBET Boss Doubler.exe: adds more bosses to fight
	-Two additional programs which undo the effects of the above
	

The package you downloaded does not include the game itself, although it is
available at my site: 

http://sites.google.com/site/spennlue/

What we have here are a document (which you are reading right now) and a program
which will translate the game and ReadMe into English. Simply tell the program
which folder the game is in.  There are also a few fun bonus patches, which you
are free to try out if you want an extra challenge.  These extras have only been
tested on a patched (English) version of the game, so be sure not to use them on
the original Japanese version.


Settings
--------

Some of the game's settings can only be changed by editing the "rm2neta.ini"
file.  You may have to close and re-open the game to see any changes.


ShowFPS
 Set this to 1 if you want to see the FPS (frames per second) displayed in the
 game window.  Set to 0 to hide the FPS.

FullScreen
 Set this to 1 to run the game in full screen, or 0 to run it in a window.  If
 the picture does not display properly in full screen mode (for example, it is
 squished from the sides), try running the game in compatibility mode for
 Windows 95.

VsyncWait
 Set this to 1 to turn on Vsync.  Vsync helps keep the picture from splitting or
 tearing, but may slow down older computers.

Zoom
 If FullScreen is set to 0, a higher zoom will increase the size of the window.
 1 = normal, 2 = double zoom, 3 = triple zoom, etc.  Don't set it to 0 or you
 won't be able to see anything.  If FullScreen is set to 1, the Zoom level
 should also be set to 1.


In-game Menus
-------------

GAME START
 After a brief intro, you'll be taken to the main game.  Fight!

CONFIG
 All sorts of goodies get unlocked as you play.  These will show up as "?????"
 in the mean time, so you won't even be able to see what they are until you
 unlock them.

KEY CONFIG
 If you want to change your controls, you can do that in the KEY CONFIG menu
 after the title screen.  Controls for this game are modeled after the original
 NES controller; press A to jump, B to shoot, and START to open the weapons
 menu. Assign a key on your keyboard to each of these, and you're good to go!

 To leave the screen and save your changes, press the button you assigned to B.
 If you totally mess up your controls, you can just close the program, delete
 the rm2neta.ini file (located wherever you installed the game), and run the
 game again.  A fresh new rm2neta.ini will be generated for you.  Don't mess it
 up this time!


Misc
----

 -This game has been compared to a skit called "The Last Days Of Dr. Wily"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpP_BKPa5Oc).

 -Make sure to tell me that you played and/or enjoyed the game!
