Front Mission (SNES) Addendum v1.02

[Oxinar]

Thank you very much. I burned the rom, played some stages on original hardware. So far so good.

Hey all,

Having some trouble applying this patch. When I patch this addendum to the 1.0b version of F.H.'s initial translation, upon loading with Snes9x I get text artifacting.



Then after this it goes to some strange character portrait text cutscene that's not in the 1.0b version where the text is also unreadable, then it gets stuck on a blonde female character and I can't progress.

The 1.0b version is completely playable however. My rom informations are below.

This is most likely a header issue. Basically, if the old English translation worked before applying the addendum, please remove the header from the ROM before patching. You can do so by checking the "Remove header" checkbox in the RHDN patcher.

Moreover, the addendum is made so that, when properly applied, the resulting ROM has a correct checksum. So if Snes9x shows that the internal checksum is wrong, that means the patch was applied incorrectly.

Incidentally, the included BPS patch contains checksum information, so Floating IPS and other patchers should warn you if you're using the wrong ROM.

Perfect, I removed the header after the initial patch and everything worked.

Much appreciated.

Headers are a pain. I'm glad you got it working.
