I. About the Game
-----------------
Natsume Kiroemon, the 45th leader of the Natsume family, is due to inherit the Koryu 
no mimi, a tool which gives its bearer easy access to wealth and women.  As a result 
of his father's death, he left the Italian monestary where he'd been training and 
rightfully took the name "Natsume Kiroemon" as well as the power of the Koryu no mimi.

Upon his return to Japan, Natsume fell fatally in love with Kanako, one of the members 
of the rival Mina family.  However, the evil hand of the Mina family attacked Natsume 
constantly and abducted Kanako.  Now Natsume has unlocked the seal, making the Koryu's 
power surge, and he's striking back at the Mina family.  Both Koryu and Kanako's fate 
are in your hands!

You will need to apply this patch onto a ROM image of koryu no Mimi. Please do 
not ask us where to obtain this image, it can be done with a search of the
Internet. However, it is required that this patch be applied to the ORIGINAL, 
unmodified rom. Also, make sure the Rom has NO Header before patching.

To apply the image, you will need an IPS patching program. The easiest one to 
use would be IPSWin. You can get this and other programs from www.emuxhaven.net. 
Open this IPS program and apply the patch in this zip file (koryue.ips) to the 
original Koryu no Mimi rom. After you patch the ROM, just start up your 
emulator, load up the rom, and start playing!

-When played on a Real Snes, there will be a Large Slowdown Ingame. This will 
 be fixed in a Future Patch.
