Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
Metal Gear 1 Dynamic Vsync patch v2 ----------------------------------- (c) 2011 by FRS 1) This patch implements the Dynamic Vsync timing routines, allowing the game to be run on with the turbo enabled on machines that support this. The turbo will be enabled by default on any machine that has the standard CHGCPU routine on its BIOS (like MSX Turbo-R machines). 2) The patch will also implement the following enhancements: - TAB : throttle game speed - SPACE : speed up text dialogs, now works like Metal Gear-2 - Automatically sets the VDP to 60Hz on boot, to play the game at the correct speed even on european machines. If you have an old european TV that doesn't support this, keep SELECT pressed on boot to disable it. - Removed the annoying region lock. Now it's possible to play the japanese version on non-japanese machines - Enhanced sprite cycling: if you have a turbo machine, the sprite cycling routine will take advantage of that and the flickering of the sprites will occur at a higher framerate. - Improved graphics for the moving parts of the bridge. They now match the non-moving pieces better. Note: The game only features load/savegames to cassete, but you can use the GameMaster 2 with it. GameMaster2 will allow you to load/savegames on disk on a real MSX. How to apply the patch ----------------------- First, make sure you have the original japanese ROM, which has the following checksum: SHA1(MG1J.ROM)= a52021f1b257c7c35d626d5d642134091c45e4f4 You can use the following tools to verify the SHA1 checksum: - Windows: -MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility 1.1 - HashTab - Mac OS-X: - DropHash - HashTab - (or use the Linux solution below) - Linux: - Just type "openssl dgst -sha1 MYGAME.ROM" on a shell (without the quotes, off course). Note: If you want to play the game in English, 1st apply the Metal Gear Retranslation patch v1.9 before applying this patch. You can get it here: http://www.romhacking.net/trans/842/ Secondly, there are two versions of this patch: The IPS version and the XPC version. - For the IPS version, select an IPS patcher like IPSWin, LunarIPS or UIPS and use it following to the tool's instructions. - For the XPC version, on-the-fly patching: just place the XPC patch under the same directory of your ROM and make sure both have the same name (i.e: MYGAME.ROM and MYGAME.XPC). The bugfix will be applied automatically by ExecROM and you will be asked if you want to apply any optional patches included (usually cheating/trainer patches). - To apply the XPC version definitely, get xpctools (at http://www.sf.net/projects/execrom ) and type the command line below: xpcapply MYGAME.ROM MYGAME.XPC -o MYGAMET.ROM -ask ============================== FAQ --- Q: Will the patched game run on non-turbo machines? A: Yes, the patch implements a new timing routine that supports any CPU speed, including of course the standard 3.57MHz Z80A. Q: I applied the patch and the resulting ROM doesn't work! What is wrong? A: You're probably trying to apply the patch on a ROM with the incorrect checksum. Q: I applied the XPC patch and some undesired features (like invulnerability) are being enabled by default! How can I select which patches will be applied? A: You forgot to add the "-ask" parameter to the xpcapply command-line. Q: Why there are IPS and XPC patches? Do I need to apply both? A: Its the same patch in two different formats. You only need to use the format you think is more suitable to your needs. IPS files only support one single patch per file and need to be pre-applied, while XPC files support multiple different patches in a single file and can be used for on-the-fly patching. ============================== I hope you enjoy these fixes.
