Sansara Naga
======================================================
Ok, this is one of those "long-term constructions"
started like ages ago. The project for translating
this pure gem of Japanese gamedev started back in
remote year of 2009. Due to various reasons, all the
works were delayed, postponed and finally started
from the scratch in 2013, when I actually decided
to cleanup all of my "standby" projects before doing
something totally new.

So, the game was practically re-hacked and working
together with Pennywise (as usually) and Eien ni Hen
(I do hope we'll be working more often :)) we transformed
the original total mess into the translation you
may enjoy right now.

About the game itself - this is one of those gems
I never guessed the reason of non-releasing it outside
Japan, as it was created by pure professionals of their
business. The music was done by Kanji Kawai (GITS) and
and Rei Sakuma (Ranma 1/2) and characters were designed
by Tamakichi Sakura (Super Mario Adventures).

The game itself is a crazy mix of various oriental and
Hindu mythologies, sick characters, vast world full
of original creatures and dragons :) The system here
combines some rpg elements with a pet-breeding game,
but otherwise it's very unique - you'll see it for
yourselves. It's more "exploring" open-world than a
story-driven game in all aspects.

Enjoy the game and remember - go and buy the
original, if you like it.

PATCH HISTORY
======================================================
1.0  - Initial Release
1.01 - There were some minor issues with the translation
       that have been fixed for this version. We've also
	   made some small script improvements as well, but
	   the overall experience remains the same.
======================================================
PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS
======================================================
The patch is in the BPS format and needs to be applied
with byuu's patcher, beat.

These are some of the links where you can download it.
The patching process is the same as IPS.

Apparently beat has issues working on XP, but I've been
told the third link works on XP.

Apply the patch to the original Japanese version of the
ROM:

Samsara Naga (J).nes

SPECIAL NOTICE
======================================================
There may be some slight misspellings in the game but
otherwise it was immensily tested. Another token of my
gratitude to all those who helped me with this one.

I'd very grateful, if you send me reports about bugs
or glitches found during gameplay, but please, do not
forget to add some descriptions, savestates and names
of emulators you use. (screenshots would be useful
as well).
