In ZSNES, the mode 7 graphics are slightly bugged up. In SNES9x ********************************************* What's done: - All dialouge. What's left: - Couple minor graphics glitches I could find. Occasional garbage sprites on menu. Occasionally, the G in the price on the shop menus in a couple towns near the end of the game would corrupt. Would be nice to get the credits horizontally-aligned. Maybe later, but these are small glitches I felt don't detract from the game. - Any spelling, grammer, linebreak errors I missed? ********************************************* How to patch: PROPER ROM: -Japanese original. -1,536KB in Windows Explorer. (No header. Use SNESTool to DELETE HEADER if the file is listed as 1,537KB) - Download this zip file. - Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.) - Download Lunar IPS. http://fusoya.cggames.net - Open Lunar IPS. Click Apply patch. Pick the ROM and the patch. -If that is too difficult, open Lunar IPS, then close it. Do this to associate IPS files with Lunar IPS. -Now just double-click the IPS file, and double click the ROM. ********************************************* How to play: Main screen: Walk with pad. Press A to speak. Press X for menu. Battle: This game uses a unique battle system, called the Dyna-Real Battle System. In this game, you set directions for what actions each character should perform in battle. They act automatically, carrying out whatever orders you have placed in their battle strategy. You assign each character 3 commands at once: one action to perform alot, another to perform sometimes, and a last action you want them to perform alittle. (okay, so actually, the main action has a 70% probability, and the other two are each 15% probable) Open the main menu. There is an option called "Battle Plan". Here, you have 3 different strategies you can assign to each party member: Attack, Defend, and Skill (in that order, from left to right), with the last two being Escape and Urgent. Escape is for running from non-boss battles, and Urgent takes place when a character's HP or POWER (points used by all? actions in battle) runs low. Each plan has a limit to what you can use: Attack - Weapon, Shield, Item (no spells) Defend - Weapon, Shield, Spell (no items) Spell - Weapon, Spell, Item (no shield) During battle: Press A to choose battle style. Then, press Up/Down to choose battle style. Press Left/Right to choose character. Press A to confirm, B to cancel. Press X for menu. Press L/R to scroll up/down battlefield. Select Button: This is pretty useful. It allows you to change all characters to a certain Plan at once, when pushed simultaneously with another button: Defend X Skill Y A Attack B Escape Probably the easiest way to think of it is: Select+B to escape battle, other three buttons to active the 3 Plans, right to left: Plan 2 (Defend) X Plan 3 (Skill) Y A Plan 1 (Attack) Also, if you take more than 6 minutes in a single battle, you die instantly. So be prepared! PROTIP: Defend often. Defending self-restores HP and POWER gradually. ******************************************* Magna Braban: Henriki no Yushya (c) 1994 Ask Kodansha English Translation: (c) 2006 KingMike No distributing the patch with ROM, either pre-patched, or in one zip.
