About Phoenix
======================================================
Well, Phoenix was a project of mine about four years
ago I did and I've come back to make an update for it.
The title screen was redone by M-Tee and is one of
my favorite title screens ever. I went with a localized
approach for the naming of the title screen. In the west,
the series is known as Phoenix and the chapter this game
is based on is called Karma. So anyhow, I ended up
expanding the ROM so I could have room for a larger
tile set. The lengths I go to...

About the game, I think this is one of the more unique
games I've had the pleasure to work on. The level
progression is very non-linear and not something you
see every day. You'd need to read a walkthrough or
something or else you'll just go in circles. I think
this makes the different.

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:

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).
