Description:
Instead of generating a monster based on the inserted CD, the shrine CD function now generates a monster based on the current year, season and the player name. The type and statistics of the monster are similar to as if a random CD was inserted. The original restrictions still apply, so it may not always be possible to generate the chosen monster.
The probability of generating a unique monster is ~1%. A few non-CD obtainable monsters have been added to the group of unique monsters, such as those obtainable by slating or obtainable in other versions of the game.
This patch is compatible with the NTSC US version of the game only.

Reviewed By: gamingcat02261991 on 06 May 2020For those not willing to waste time scanning CDs, this hack is for you. The monsters you can receive vary depending on your name and gender, but otherwise are randomized for each season. For instance, I received a Draco Kato in Spring 1000, and in Summer 1000 I got a totally different monster. There may still be a few flaws such as the bug regarding how to unlock Mock and the occasional freeze-up on the loading screen, but other than that, this is a very solid hack, and great for newcomers of the franchise.
