Dragon Quest 6 Translation by NoPrgress
=======================================

This is my fourth release.

The included .ips file has been specially designed to correctly patch
the original ROM, the 33% patched ROM released on 11/20/2000, the 75% 
patched ROM released on 5/20/2001, and the 90% pathed ROM released on 
8/7/2001. It will not work on ROMs patched with any of the DeJap .ips 
files. If you're not sure which patch you have, apply it to an 
unpatched ROM. 

Any natural saves (Imperial Scrolls) from the 33% patch, 75% patch, or
90% patch will work with this patch, and real-time saves wandering about 
should still work. Real-time saves in battle, or where dialog or menu 
windows are on the screen will probably not work. 



This is a maintenance patch for the 90% patch release on 8/7. Only a
small handful of the remaining untranslated strings have been 
translated. Most of the changes in this release affect spelling/grammer 
issues. Many thanks to all who submitted these errors. Special thanks 
to Zeku for providing such a thorough list.

This patch *should* be fully playable through the entire game.
So what's left? Mostly scattered strings throughout the entire game
and some of the random effects of certain battle skills (Goof-off 
and Chance). 



Here are the current translation stats:

Dialog text:     ~93%
Battle text:     ~80%
Menu/item text:  ~95%



This is my second official "beta" release. After I translate the 
remaining strings and fix the remaining bugs, I will release a 
"final" patch.



To the best of my knowledge, there are still four issues/bugs:

* Backing out of the Info->All option sometimes crashes the game.

* Backing up through the equip windows makes the arrow disappear and
  sometimes crashes the game.

* Using a battle spell/skill where you have to target an enemy/group,
  the spell/skill window behind the enemy list disappears.

* You start out early with 'Recall', and later gain 'Remember',
  'Forget', and 'Unforget'. I *have not* used any of these memorization
  skills, so I don't know how accurately they are working (or 
  translated). Many people have told me they seem to be working
  correctly.
