Final Fantasy 4 - Cosmetic Changes 2 ------------------------------------ By Spooniest Based on "Final Fantasy 4 - Cosmetic Changes" by Joel Smith and "Final Fantasy 4" by J2e **NOTE: THIS PATCH IS FOR A HEADERLESS ROM.** Made using Windhex and LunarIPS This is a retouching of the J2e script for Final Fantasy 4. I liked the Cosmetic Changes hack, but there were still lots of things that irked me about the text. Also, I wanted to get my feet wet using a hex editor, because I'm thinking about porting in the DS script, if I can get the help I need to do it. Installation ------------ I reccommend using SnesTool to apply the patch. Place the .exe file in the same folder as the .smc file (FF3 US v1.0) and the .ips file; the three of them, together in one folder. Now double-click the .exe file. First, hit 'A' to Apply header. Move the cursor to the file you want to check. If it asks whether you'd like to remove the header, congrats, you have a headered rom. Say "Yes." Now press U to Use ips. Use the arrow keys to select the .ips patch, then the .smc file. When you get the message "Ips patched ok," you're done. Now run it in the emulator of your choice. **NOTE: THIS PATCH IS FOR A HEADERLESS ROM.** List of changes from Joel Smith's "FF4 Cosmetic Changes": 1.
