1.About Royal Stone
-------------------
Royal Stone is a strategy/RPG for the Sega Game Gear. It follows the
career of a disgraced soldier as she attempts to clear her name and
save the world at the same time. The game's plot is surprisingly grim
for its time.

Royal Stone is also the sequel to Crystal Warriors, also on the Game
Gear. It wears its heritage plainly on its sleeve - battles play out
the same way, enemies are still obscured by fog of war until either
fought or scanned, even the structure of the levels, difficulty
progression, and boss appearances is almost identical. That said, for
all the similarities, there are a huge number of improvements. Royal
Stone feels like the game Crystal Warriors wanted to be.

4.Known Issues
--------------
--Some minor graphical garbage appears on certain animation frames
  during combat sequences. Only occurs on some emulators (happens
  when using Dega, but not with Meka or Bizhawk.)

There are a few known issues with the game itself not caused by the patch:
--In Round 15, there are two major foes - an enemy commander and an underling.
  If the commander is killed before his cutscene with the underling, the game
  crashes.
--After promoting a character to the Evoker class, it's possible to dismiss a
  monster that doesn't exist. It's also possible to select this monster in
  battle, which can cause unpredictable results.
--Scrolling through the spell list too fast during combat sequences can cause
  incorrect text to be displayed. The spells will still function correctly,
  however.
