I'm terribly unfamiliar with all this, but I really want to play ToP fully translated, so if there is anyone that can give me a basic, 'Patching Roms for Dummies' explanation, I would be very grateful.
Here's what I've been trying. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
- Downloaded the Final patch for ToP on the Dejap website, along with a Japanese rom, and the SnesTool for making a header and to patch my rom.
- Extracted all the files into one folder.
- Opened the SnesTool, and selected 'add header'.
- Chose the rom to make the header for (I have no idea why it asks about an ihom file and the whether I want static ram, so perhaps that's the key?), of which it said it made one successfully (the rom became the proper size of 6,291,968 bytes).
- Then I went to 'use ips' and selected the TOP_GD7L.IPS file (should I have tried another file, and if so, which one?), of which it said the patch was ok(?).*
- Opened Zsnes and loaded the file, of which ended up in the black screen. Please help me out here!
Any assistence on this matter would be phenomenally appreciated! Thanks!
