Patch v0.80
Release date: 04/01/2008
*********************************************
Original Title: Hoshi wo Miru Hito
Original Language: Japanese
*********************************************
Introduction:

(thanks Eien Ni Hen)
Sometime in the future, there is a boy named "Minami". 
He doesn't know who he is or where he is from.  However, he is not without enemies.
A group of fierce psychic hunters called the Death Psychics, and the Guard Force,
together with its army of robots, all seek to capture him because he is a
powerful Psychic.  They find him and prepare to attack...

A computer called "Crew III" was built inside the metropolis of Ark City to oversee things.
Crew III has now assumed complete control, to the point of invading people's minds. 
The system was built to cleanse the city of people with harmful thoughts by using a form of
mind control.  The effects of Crew III are powerful enough to strip you of your very
identity.  However, there are a select group of people called "Psychics" who aren't
effected by its mind control.  And so, the Crew III begins to hunt them down.  These Psychics
are captured and taken to Ark City, leaving the 4 main characters behind.

Honestly, apparently this game is a legendary kusoge (sh** game) in Japan.
To sum up some of the problems: the initial town (as well as other places) are invisible, exiting many locations on the
world map warps you to the first town. The battle cursor defaults to "ESP", and once you've
selected ESP (or medicine) on the battle menu, there's no cancel button. You can't escape,
either. Passwords don't save your money or medicine ingreditents, and when you die, you'll
have to re-enter the password (a maximum 35 characters long, if I remember) to try again.
Now, you all can have fun trying to play it.

The main patch will add password memory, so you can save to three files. (when saving, just select a file to
save to and push A. To load passwords, just select a save slot and press A to load the password, then press A
again to confirm)
I also sped up the characters' walking speed.

Though I think most of you would want those, I've included an alternate "purist" patch that does not include
either of those extras (version "a")

Thanks to

 odino - translation
 KingMike - hacking, script writing (hope odino doesn't mind the extreme liberties
  I took. For a "futuristic" themed-game, I decided to attempt to go with a more
  colloquial script).
  If anybody wants a direct translation, I can do that.)

*********************************************
Emulation Status:
 This game should be playable in most emulators. I expanded the ROM from 128KB to 256KB,
 but it should still work in most emulators.

*********************************************
What's done:
 - All dialouge has been inserted. Menus should be translated.

What's not done:
 - Much of the battle text has not been translated, thus not inserted.
   (I just wanted to get what I have so far out on this fitting date)

*********************************************
How to patch:

MAKE SURE YOU USE A NES ROM EXPANSION PROGRAM FIRST, such as my program nflate.
If not, you'll have to use a hex editor and make a new file with:
-the first 112KB (0-1C000F) of the original ROM
-128KB blank space ($1C010-$3C00F)
-the last 16KB of the original ROM

How to use IPS.
 - Download this zip file.
 - Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.)
 - Download Lunar IPS. http://fusoya.cggames.net
 - Open Lunar IPS. Click Apply patch. Pick the ROM and the patch.
    -If that is too difficult, open Lunar IPS, then close it. Do this to associate IPS files with Lunar IPS.
    -Now just double-click the IPS file, and double click the ROM.

No distributing the patch with ROM, either pre-patched, or in one zip.
That's wrong.
