Application Instructions ---------------------------- 1.About Kunio-tachi no Banka ---------------------------- Banka is a beatemup for the Super Famicom/Super NES console. It is a distant cousin to the game known in the US as River City Ransom; in fact, it is a direct sequel to Nekketsu Kouha - Kunio-kun ("Renegade" in the States) which eventually spawned RCR. Since it is not directly related to RCR, it does not have the RPG elements you might expect it to have; nonetheless, it is a decidedly above-average beatemup. It's quite long, as well, and has a very large script in comparison to other games in the genre. --------------- 2.Patch History --------------- The project started on June 7th, 2002 out of the need for a new beatemup game to play with my friends. I hoped to get the script translated fairly quickly, but it chewed up and spat out two translators before I finally found a third who stuck with it about three or four weeks prior to this writing. Kudos go out to Datenshi for not giving up!

They scroll side-to-side. No WAY am I touching that. -------------------------- 5.Application Instructions -------------------------- If using ZSNES, make sure that the patch has the same name as your ROM. In other words, if your ROM is called "banka.smc" make sure the patch is "banka.ips" okay? If you're using a Mac, a Mac IPS patcher is available. Check the AGTP Links page. If you're using a copier, you probably already know how to patch the ROM :) Be sure to apply the patch to a clean copy of the ROM, and make sure your ROM DOES HAVE a header. If you right-click the ROM and select Properties, it should read "Size: 2.00MB (2,097,664 bytes)". SNESTool will remove all of your headers for you easily, and you can find it at http://rpgd.emulationworld.com In the utilities section, click on the IPS Tools link.
