Photograph Boy English Translation .99 Copyright 2001 by Zatos Hacks http://zatos.parodius.com/ ------------------ Applying the patch ------------------ First, I'm sure many people will be confused about how to patch the ROM. To save from explaining how to use IPS for DOS, I'll point you to the link to IPSWin. Get it here: http://zerosoft.zophar.net/ Most people still can't patch it in DOS even after a very clear explanation of how to do it. IPSWin is much simpler for the DOS impaired. It asks you to find your ROM file, and then it asks you to find your IPS patch file. Then you click 'patch' and huzzah! All done without the leetness of using DOS. Enjoy. -------------------- About Photograph Boy -------------------- Photograph Boy is one of those genre bending games from Japan that never made it here. To be quite blunt, you take pictures to advance the levels. Sounds simple, but it can be challenging and a lot of fun. --------------- About the patch --------------- The patch is not satisfactory to me. The game uses a hardcoded pointer system, which made it impossible with my skills to alter them. This means I had to line up all the text to match with its original points. If anyone else has done this before, they know just how messy this can get. Unless anybody wants to help fix this in the future, it will probably stay as is. It's decent, but could be much better. This game isn't too much of a story driven game, so that won't even matter too much. The game is what's enjoyable. Also, the title screen is still in Japanese, so if anyone ever wants to help with that, feel free. Otherwise, its staying as well. The fact that its animated makes it worse. ------- Credits ------- Hacking: Zatos Translation: Alexander Beetle Special Thanks: Gideon Zhi Tomato ---- Bugs ---- If you find any bugs in the translation, please report them and I will fix them ASAP. jskeels@bendcable.com
