------------------------------- DEDICATION -------------------------------
 
 This translation is dedicated to my ex-gf Jacqueline who bought me the
 laptop that I used to complete the translation after being computerless
 for 8 months. I don't take back any of the mean things I've said about
 her in the past, but I won't say them anymore. :p

 This patch is also dedicated to all of the translation news sites, such
 as RPGd and Snakeeyes Gaming Corp, that Zophar's Domain steals all their
 translation news from (when they bother to post any at all.)

------------------------------ INTRODUCTION -----------------------------

 Following in the tradition of most of the other Sanrio games, Sanrio
 Carnival 2 takes a well known theme and improves upon it greatly. This
 is a puzzle game, along the lines of Tetris or Columns, and includes
 three different modes.
	The first is the standard "get enough matches so you can advance
 to the next level" game. After each level, you play one of those games
 where you slide the tiles around trying to put them back order. The
 second mode is battle mode where you and the computer compete to get
 a certain number of matches while trying to blow each other up with
 bombs. In the third mode, you just try to get as many matches as you
 can until there are no more possible matches left. There is also a 2
 player mode which lets you compete against someone else in battle mode.

 Hacking & Translating - InVerse - http://www.pigtails.net/ST

 This was the first project that I did entirely on my own. I don't think
 I even had any spot translation requests on this one, but there was a
 9 month lapse between when I started the project and when I finished it,
 so I'll thank Musashi just in case he did any spot translations that I'm
 forgetting about. He deserves thanks even if he didn't.

--------------------------------- TOOLS ---------------------------------

 The following tools were used for this translation:

  Hexposure: hex editing for translation and graphic maneuvering
 Tile Layer: graphics hacking & font insertion
   Nesticle: some graphic hacking
  SNES Tool: patch creation
  
-------------------------- PATCHING INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------

 Patching a ROM is extremely simple. You need three things. A ROM,
 the patch and a patching program. To patch with IPS, you simply
 type "ips <ROM name> <patch name>". So if the name of the ROM was
 Tabo.nes you would type "ips Tabo.nes Tabo.ips" and your ROM is now
 in English. Make sure you have all the files in the same directory
 if you have a problem.
      To patch a ROM with SNES Tool, simply select USE IPS, choose
 the patch and then choose the ROM to affix the patch to. It's self
 explanatory. If you can't figure it out, the game is probably too
 hard for you anywayz.

--------------------------- CONTACT INFORMATION -------------------------

 The official Tabo's Tactics home page is currently located

 E-Mail addresses concerning the project can be located on the 
 official page.

 So there you have it. Have fun and remember. It's just a game.
