Description:
Instead of generating a monster based on the inserted CD, the shrine CD function now generates a monster based on the current year, season and the player name. The type and statistics of the monster are similar to as if a random CD was inserted. The original restrictions still apply, so it may not always be possible to generate the chosen monster.
The probability of generating a unique monster is ~1%. A few non-CD obtainable monsters have been added to the group of unique monsters, such as those obtainable by slating or obtainable in other versions of the game.
This patch is compatible with the NTSC US version of the game only.

Monster Rancher Without Disc Swapping
Reviewed By: peacefighter on 01 Mar 2021This makes the game play just as it could have been without the need of changing out discs to get new and different types of monsters. When you go to the shrine it will “read” the Monster Rancher 2 disc as normal, but it changes based of the time and your name. I did run in to a problem where I started the game and my name and the season lined up so the disc monster I could have gotten was too powerful so I had to reset and try a new name, but after picked a new name the game work perfectly. If you have a problem change your name and try again. This hack works very well. I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to or can’t swap discs. This is highly recommend for any Monster Rancher fans.
