What? It's DONE? How can this be?!
----------------------------------
Yep...more than 4 years after the project's start, Legend of the Blob Bros. 2
is finally complete! (It feels SO GOOD to say that.)

So much has been done between the last release (v2.0 Demo) and this one, it
would be impossible to list all the changes. Levels, graphics, program
hacks...you name it, it's been either vastly improved or completely redone
from scratch. Forget 2.0 Demo ever existed--this is the real thing, the
finished product!

NOTE: This file contains only basic information, such as what programs and
files you'll need, and instructions for applying the IPS patch. For more
detailed information about this hack, please visit the Legend of the Blob
Bros. 2 webpage, located in the "ROM Hacks" section of RuSteD LOgIc
(http://bmf.rustedmagick.com).


The stuff you'll need
---------------------
- BB2Patcher.exe (or BLOBBRO2.IPS and an IPS patcher).

- A Super Mario Bros. 2 NES ROM (PRG-0, CHR-0, 262160 bytes).
  NOTE: The PRG-1 revision will NOT work with this hack!

- A decent NES emulator. loopyNES is best for DOS users, while FCE Ultra is
  best for Windows users. Other good emulators include fwNES, SMYNES, and
  nester (or one of its clones).

  NOTE: I *do not* recommend using NESten to play this game. As of v0.61 Beta
        1, the emulator contains bugs that may cause odd glitches, rendering
        certain levels impassable, or even crashing the game. If you must use
        NESten, please don't use savestates.

- For the best visual experience, I recommend downloading the latest version
  of BMF's NES Palette (available at my website) and loading it into your
  emulator. This palette closely simulates the colors output by a real NES,
  and was the primary palette used during this hack's creation. Many "older"
  NES palettes (especially NESticle's) are *very* inaccurate and will make the
  graphics look all yucky. =P

- A good amount of free time. =)


Applying the silly little patch
-------------------------------
** BACK UP YOUR ROM FIRST! **

-  Windows users: Just run BB2Patcher.exe, enter the location of your SMB2
   ROM, then click "Patch". Piece of cake!

-  Non-Windows users: Download an IPS patcher for your particular OS, and
   apply BLOBBRO2.IPS to your SMB2 ROM. Please don't ask me how to use a
   patcher--read the instructions!
