@Messianic 

Fair enough, and I have checked the link you submitted :

https://forum.starmen.net/forum/Community/PKHack/Earthbound-Deluxe/page/1/

After reading some of the other comments...I do worry about the difficult spike after the first boss. 

* all of the status ailments, making you unable to do anything but lose * 

Do I need to grind to level 20 to survive past the 2nd town ? 

Also, can you give any tips for someone new to Earthbound ?

Well I beat Mondo Mole. I was a bit overleveled but what you're supposed to do against him is still interesting enough. Since I'm leveled enough to have a decent PSI list available, I may as well provide my rebalance suggestions. Keeping in mind that I expect most of the time there aren't more than 3 enemies around in general.

As follows:
-All single-target food items recovery (current) -> (5 * current / 3)
-Runaway Dog drops Bread Rolls at perhaps 2/3 of the current frequency
-Lifeup Alpha recovery average 80 HPs -> 60 HPs
-Lifeup Beta recovery average 240 HPs -> 150 HPs
-Favorite Alpha per enemy damage average 80 HPs -> 100 HPs
-Favorite Beta per enemy damage average 160 HPs -> 180 HPs
-Fire Alpha cost 6 PP -> 4 PP
-Freeze Alpha cost 4 PP -> 6 PP
-Freeze Beta cost 8 PP -> 12 PP
-Freeze Beta average damage 360 HPs -> 300 HPs
-Thunder Alpha per bolt damage 40 HPs -> 50 HPs
-Enemy Cop's Offense 23 -> 20 (makes it MUCH easier to avoid falling below 25 HPs during that awful, AWFUL marathon; everything else about this nuisance is tame)
-Enemy Cop's Defense 23 -> 25 (makes Cop not suck in Twoson)
-Enemy New Age Retro Hippie's Defense 18 -> 16
-Enemy Unassuming Local Guys' Offense 23 -> 18 (probably nerf Everdred's Offense a bit too, but not too much)
-Enemy Mobile Sprout's Offense 21 -> 18
-Enemy Mobile Sprout's Defense 15 -> 12

I think that should cover it.

Your balance ideas are noted. If I find it necessary as I tweak/add things I will make some changes to balance.

Hmm...looks like you updated this hack on another site ?

* the new ISP file is very buggy *

Bump. Wanted to ask what the current status on this hack was. Like I know it's released, but have the suggestions listed by others on here been implemented yet and the download updated?

I had a version that I released on Starmen.net a while back, and I wanted to work on implementing the final dungeon and some other things but life gets in the way. The latest version is in the PKHack forum on the M2DX topic. I am in the middle of implementing a new set of ASM hacks that allow to to custom program enemy attacks to not be limited by the 4 attack limit, and can now even have a bit of low level AI to some enemies. The final dungeon is still something I want to do. When this game is TRULY DONE, I will post a final version here.

@Messianic 

Ah, it appears that you updated this hack a few months ago...would you be able to provide the updated information here as well ?

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2518/ 

Like a more detailed "Description" and "Readme" file ?

Also, looking forward to your custom enemy programs !

[Jorpho]

Perhaps the download here should have a more descriptive name than "autodrop1.zip" ?  (A readme would be kind of nice too, if there's one available.)
