I did a few tests with the Spanish translation yesterday, it does't matter which rom version you patch it comes out 99.99% the same, the only difference is the version byte in the header. This translation changes whatever spots Canoe is looking for to run it with the preset.

Damn... You're absolutely right, I just patched it and sure enough, it basically reverts the Rev 1 version into Rev 0...

I'll see what I can do, but don't get your hopes up SupaSAIAN.

Hey SupaSAIAN, do you happen to know if the Spanish translation is for Rev 0 or for Rev 1?

The description says it's the Rev 0 ROM, but then the CRC-32 that it says is for the Rev 1 ROM.
Rev 0 = 5399BDDB
Rev 1 = 6C50C2CF

The ReadMe for the translation says this:
I put it through Google translate and I think the Spanish translation patch is for Rev 1?

I'm not sure but I think it's for Rev 1, in his website (http://magno.romhackhispano.org/rsaga3.html) he has other version for the english patched ROM with CRC-32 42C664C2 and I think this is the translated Rev 0.
Anyway I get the same results with that patch, I also tried the game with retroarch and the issuse persists but it runs fine in Snes9x 1.55 in my pc... strange.

Thanks in advance and do what you can with it, if you find it impossible I will try to ask to it's creator to see if he can fix it.

Hmm. CRC32 42C664C2 is for headerless rev 0 patched with Mana Sword's translation.

I tried looking around for information on if Mana Sword's translation is for rev 0 or rev 1, but I found absolutely nothing.
I have no clue if patching onto rev 1 compared to rev 0 will cause any adverse effects, but nobody has said anything about it so I guess it's fine?

One possible work-around is to apply Magno's English translation on top of Rev 1 Mana Sword translation.
Mana Sword's translation requires a header, but Magno's requires NO header.
Magno's English patch doesn't revert the ROM back to rev 0 like the Japanese patch does.

This should probably be fine since I haven't heard of any issues with using Mana Sword's translation on rev 1 instead of rev 0.
So I would assume it's a similar case with Magno's translation.

I'll keep looking into this though.

I have tried both revisions following this process: add header with Tush, apply Mana Sword's translation, remover header with Tush and finally apply the Magno's translation.
Both of them doesn't works with official ID but does with 1610 but with the sound issuse.
I don't know if it's relevant or not but with Retroarch in the SNESmini the issuse is also there, but in my laptop with Snes9x 1.55 works fine.

Ah! Yeah, you're right! I guess Magno's English patch makes a couple different changes that make 10F6 reject it.

https://www.sendspace.com/file/6cwjz4

This is definitely just a beta patch! Keep in mind, I'm not very good at ROM hacking.

So try to see if the game is actually able to be completed, but there's no hurry so go ahead and take your time.

This one's for you SupaSAIAN!

No explanation this time since I'm not exactly sure what the Preset ID 10F6 is looking for.
If certain byte locations are not what 10F6 wants, then it just C7s.

One of these specific byte locations is at address $C1:5CEB-5CEF.
I have no clue what this address does at the current moment.
I played the game for a tiny bit with trace logs, but the game never accessed this address during my playtime.
I'm assuming it happens at some later point in the game.
But I think it's battle related. Not sure.

This is why this is just a beta patch, since I have no clue what this address is used for.
So I just kind of did some guesswork.
I tried my best to sort out all of the nearby instructions since $C1:5CEB-5CEF has to be a specific set of bytes.

Thaks a lot pimpinelephant, I have tried your patch over the clean Japan Rev 0 with Magno's translation and it works with 6F10 without sound issuses.

I'm not very good finishing games (I get bored pretty fast

), if you want I can ask Magno at Elotrolado forums what that address ($C1:5CEB-5CEF) is used for.

pimpinelephant · « **Reply #2726 on:** May 26, 2018, 01:44:46 am »

Yeah, it's no big deal at all if you never finish. I'm pretty sure it should be fine since I only made slight differences, and I tried my best to keep the instructions rolling without a hitch.

And for the address, it's not a big deal either so no worries there.
$C1:5CEB-5CEF is just a tiny part of the instruction set, but it's important because for some reason 10F6 requires these bytes to be certain values.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with battles though, since bank $C1 appears to contain a bunch of battle instructions.

Ok I'll try to finish the game by myself or at least to get as far as I can, thanks again pimpinelephant for fixing this Spanish translation.

Update for Super Robot Wars Gaiden - The Elemental Lords preset ID and extra byte values.

So I'm a bit of the ways into Part 2 of the game, and have noticed that while EF10 is the optimal ID to clear up sound issues, 08 should be used in the extra byte value instead of 09.

With a lot of mech sprites on screen, if I cast cyflash with cybuster you can noticeably hear the music bog down during the attack animation using extra byte 09. Using 08 gets rid of any audio hiccups. 07 has no audio problems but the game feels slightly slower. 06 actually glitched out the attack animation cause it was running so slow. 09-0B all similar the game runs well, but the audio gets really laggy. -no-nolatency is a must as well to not have audio problems. I think pimpinelephant came up with very similar SA-1 extra byte results using another game, so for both 08 is the sweet spot for no game lag or audio lag.

Top Racer (Japan)
topracer3b
https://www.sendspace.com/file/le45m8

Reduced the ROM sizes from their expanded 1 MB back to their original 512 KB.
None of the code was changed from 3a, so these patches are not required.
Only for those that want original sized ROMs for space-saving, etc.

I also took a look at Super Godzilla... and wow!
I totally thought it would be an easy fix, nope!

The entire game was designed with 239-line mode in mind.
This means that literally everything has to have their vertical-position altered accordingly.
I can move the HUD (BG3) up to properly display the bottom part, but then everything else (BG1, BG2, OBJs, etc.) are all still in their original positions, which makes things appear out-of-position.
I can totally see why Sluffy never got around to DBZ: Super Saiya Densetsu.

I am definitely nowhere near good enough to do anything with this game at the current moment.

Great work pimpinelephant, the space-saving is essential in the SNESmini for non USB-HOST users like me.

Do they need to be tested??

pimpinelephant · « **Reply #2733 on:** May 28, 2018, 08:00:42 am »

I don't think so. I think they should be fine.
Nothing was actually changed, so everything should still be working the exact same as the 3a patches.

Alright, I took a look at ActRaiser 2 to see if I could somehow get around the slowROM check and force it to run in fastROM.

I disabled fastROM on boot-up (current canoe fix), but then turned fastROM back on after it finishes the Enix logo screen.
Nope... I was dumb to think the game only does its slowROM check once.
It would get to the menu screen, but there was zero sound and then black screen after choosing New Game. (slowROM check failed)

I'm thinking the game does its slowROM check on every NMI, but I'm not sure on anything yet.
I'll definitely keep looking into this.

I can definitely try, but I'm not very good at this kind of stuff.

I know that Sluffy tried working on Ganbare! Daiku no Gen-san for a little bit, but wasn't able to figure out the cause.
The issue with simple black screens is that the cause could be anything.
Will have to look around trace logs and see if it does anything different after Irem logo.
