About this project

Final Fantasy 1 & 2 Unofficial Update

This is an unofficial update to English translation of Final Fantasy 1 & 2 NES multicart by Neo Demiforce.

This fixes the fatal bug that makes the game freeze whenever you try to talk to anyone in FF1. Also redraws the title/game selection screen and adds B-button dashing to both games.

Version 1.1 changes some palettes on the title screen, but more importantly updates the patched ROM's header to meet NES 2.0 specs, which should fix saving. See the readme for more info.

"FF1&2e Unofficial Update" v1.1 by Grond

"Oy! Wot's all this, then!?"
 It's my unofficial update to Neo Demiforce's translation patch for "Final Fantasy I & II". It
 (Demi's patch, not the ROM) can be downloaded at - http://www.romhacking.net/translations/138/
 - among other places. 
!This patch must be applied ON TOP OF (i.e. AFTER)that one!

"Why make this?"
 Demi's original patch has a fatal bug that makes the game freeze whenever you try to
 talk to anyone in FF1. That's the main reason, anyway.

"Anything else?"
- I redrew the title screen to make it appear (at least slightly) similar to Demi's concept of how he
 wanted it to look ( http://web.archive.org/web/20011214121137/http://demiforce.parodius.com/k.gif ).
- B-button dashing was added to both games.
- FF1 was given a default "Respond Rate" of 6 instead of 1
- FF2's intro story text can now be skipped by pressing Start.
- NEW IN 1.1 : Header was updated to meet the NES 2.0 standard, and in the process I fixed the ROM to
 use its proper mapper, SXROM, with it's larger SRAM. What this really means is that you can actually
 save in both games now without one game's save being overwritten by the other's (assuming you are
 using an emulator that properly supports NES 2.0--most don't. Recent versions of Nestopia and
 Nintendulator should work; I don't know about any others).
