Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei 1 & 2

[Swaggermuffin]

Reporting in with my own bug reports. I'm running the game on SNES9X, if that's a factor. I imagine it is.
I went to sell some items at the shop in Micon, and the names of items in my inventory are mangled. I had a Jackknife and 2 Jewels on me at the time, and their names reported as E F G H I and J K L respectively. I left the shop to go see what I had in my inventory, and they displayed fine. I went back in to the shop, went to sell them again, and their names had changed like so:



It's text from the item menu, but you probably already noticed that. I sold the Jackknife and now the Jewel's name displays fine. It's not a major problem; it's not crashing the game, and I can work around it.

Fantastic work, by the way. Thanks for releasing this.

That is truly bizarre. What emulator are you playing on? Are you playing from a clean save?

snes9x-1.53-x64, clean save. After that happened I reloaded from the save point and the same thing happened against another kind of enemy. Worked fine when I tried other ROM though.

When you say "other ROM", what do you mean? And if you are using Snes9X, could you tell me what it says for the CRC32 at the bottom of the screen when you load the game? It should be an 8-character code. And I'm assuming you mean any enemy near the beginning of MT1? Sorry for all of the questions, it's just that I've been unable to reproduce this bug, but it seems like a serious one.

I first patched and played a ROM I got from a pack of SNES ROM's I downloaded a long time ago(probably just a bad dump). The patch worked fine with a ROM I downloaded after that.
CRC32: 7529E53E

kmt_beta_080914_4.zip going good so far. The only persisting problem from the first beta is the name glitching while saving which effects nothing else that I can tell.

I haven't played much from the beginning since I've been skipping between saves, but so far the only issue is that item names either aren't showing up in battle, or they're scrambled.

Hello. This is a very good translation.

I ran into a bug where item names don't display. I don't know if you already addressed this, as I am playing with the second version of the patch. Regardless, here is a screenshot:



If it helps, I am playing on ZSNES. Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Oh, someone else pointed it out too... well, whatever.

Thank you for the feedback. I thought I had this fixed in an earlier patch, but it seems that since it's still happening, I will try to tighten up the code that draws the item names. I will post an update once it's completed.

For the record, this hasn't happened to me since the first publicly released beta yesterday. Items (or at least jewels) have showed up for me since version 2. Weird stuff.

And yet again, good work. I wish more rom hacks tested like this. Be careful not to burn yourself out, ha.

Hello again. The item text issue was a one-shot error; it was cleared once switching to another command. Still doesn't change the fact that it exists.

Also, perhaps not a bug and just a simple text issue, but this string of dialogue is missing an A for And at the Medusa introduction.

Here's another quick text issue; I suspect it's because the text exceeded the box draw area?

[Fang]

Since you seem to have finished the second area, did you notice if the text from beating Medusa Shadows pushed the EXP and money gains off the screen?

No; if it was a subtle issue, I probably wasn't paying attention, but if it was glaring, I would've noticed, and everything went pretty smoothly.

Just played a little bit of MTII.  Similar to the invisible item name issue, spell names aren't showing up in the COMP menu or in battle.  They show up when you view the status in the Cathedral, but that's the only way I've found to see which spells a demon has.   So far everything else has been perfect (just got to the second town, about to head into the Princess Hotel). 

This is awesome and I'm so stoked to be able to play these games.  A million thank yous.

I just wanted to point out that I'm having the same issue with spell names on 080914_5, but with Megami Tensei I (haven't tested 2). Item names are working fine for me, though, and everything else is looking excellent as well! Thank you so much for your work on this.
