The purpose of this hack is allow you to access these items without needing a time machine or editing save files, while maintaining as close to the original experience as possible. As such it does these two things specifically:

• Bypass the connection and communication process of the “Get Item” function of the WonderGate menu, and deliver a random item to your current save file
• Bypass the connection and communication process of the “Get Image” function of the WonderGate menu, and activate an image based on your score (in order of what you have unlocked already)

Essentially it does what the menus suggest, and acts like it’s actually communicating. It doesn’t make any edits to menus.

This hack is compatible with the original Japanese version (No-Intro), as well as 1.0 of Nikc’s English translation patch, though as of this writing there will be some minor text / /graphical errors not seen in the original Japanese version due to missing translations for these lost menus. This won’t effect their function nor the rest of the game. It also works on original hardware.

To take advantage of this patch, you’ll need a save file in any slot with some progress. Then select one of the below options in the WonderGate menu.

Get Item:

• This option will issue an item at random to your selected save file, even if you already obtained it. You will get to the view the special cutscene that accompanies it as well!
• Technically, all these items can be obtained through the normal course of play (possibly even the Devil’s Tear).

Get Image:

• This option will issue an image for the title screen based on your score. Any save file used will unlock it for everyone.
• The requirement gets higher and higher pretty quickly, but there’s cute little cutscenes that congratulate you and tell you the next amount you need.

There is also a cheat version of this patch included, which avoids the randomness and the score check, and just gives you all the stuff you’re looking for, no frills.
