Scarica Puyo Puyo Sun 64 Arcade Conversion Rom Hack

Puyo Puyo Sun 64 (Aleck)

  A ridiculous trilingual variant of Puyo Puyo Sun 64 designed to run on SeTa's Aleck64 board.  Full voiceover for endings and optionally for Story Mode is provided.  Select "Cutscenes: Voice" in the options menu to enable it.  When not selected, the original typewriter sound is used instead.
  Japanese is exclusively in Japanese, Korean in Korean, and English borrows the Japanese voiceover but fully translates all text.  Settings are shared between all versions and can be changed in the Options menu.
  Special thanks (or blame?) to UltimatePenguin for translating the messages unique to the Korean version.


.:Patching:.
  Apply the xdelta patch using the similarly named xdelta.  The patch will only apply to a ROM in native (big-endian) byteorder.  Output will be a single big-endian file.

.:Hardware:.
  Depending on hardware used additional steps may be necessary after applying the patch.

  If used with an N64 adapter & flashcart or equivalent hardware no additional steps will be required.

  Modified "3D ROM PCB" or "E99" boards, dev carts, and E90 development hardware may require splitting the file into equal parts to fit on the chip layout and/or 16bit byteswapping.

  Most if not all "ALK-ROM01" boards are already configured for two Fujitsu MSP55LV128 128MBit SOP44 FlashROMs.  These require 16bit byteswapping the patched file and splitting it into two 128Mbit segments (0x1000000 bytes).  Place the lower half on the U3 chip and upper half on the U4.  The patch was tested on an E92 board using this option.

  "AS-COMROM" boards have a maximum capacity of 16Mbit, insufficient for this title.  "AS-COMROM2" boards are presumed to have a similar capacity.

  If your hardware does not provide a 4k or 16k eeprom (BU9580, BU9851, BK16D, etc.) it is highly recommended to set the "disable settings backup" DIP switch.


.:Controls & Output:.
  A dedicated Aleck input panel is required.  The number of controllers is automatically detected.  The menu to select 2P will automatically be suppressed if only one controller is present.
  Set the gate on the joystick to digital.  If set to analog, a warning will appear at boot.
  At minimum, each player requires Start and at least buttons 1 and 2 wired.  A third is recommended.  If wired, buttons 4, 5, and 6 mirror buttons 1, 2, and 3.  Rotation settings for each button can be set in the options menu.

  Stereo sound is implemented through the L/R RCA audio jacks on the E90/E92 board.  Make sure the left and right speakers are set correctly; sound from each player's field is only projected through their own speaker.
  If you are using a single speaker wired to the JAMMA harness, set the "Sound / 사운드 / サウンド" option to "Mono / 모노 / モノラル" in the Options Menu's "Gallery / 옵션 / ギャラリー" page, to the left of the "ALECK" page.

  Coin boxes with two slots are supported but coinage is shared between players 1 and 2.

  The Service switch will add credits.  This also completes any partial coinage.

  The Test switch will enter the options menu when pressed during the attract sequence, allowing you to change gameplay settings and test system configuration.  It cannot be accessed during gameplay to prevent state corruption.

.:Notes:.
  DIP settings:
  *) DIP switch options won't change until the system is reset.
  *) When freeplay is activated coin settings are ignored.
  *) Disabling settings backup prevents reading and writing to eeprom.  Default values are used for game options.  Any changes made to options through the options menu will be lost when the system is reset or turned off.
  *) Default difficulty is used when settings backup is disabled or when settings are reset to default values through the options menu.  The setting shown in the options menu is the setting in use.
  *) When the test / options menu switch is set the system will start in the options menu.  After exiting to normal gameplay, use the test button during the attract sequence to return to the options menu.  As previously mentioned, it can not be accessed from the title or during gameplay.
  *) When the DIP to suppress music during the attract sequence is set sound effects will still be heard.  However, the coin insertion sound may not play as a result.

  Options Menu:
  *) Coinage is not displayed in the Options menu or any of its submenus.  This is normal.
  *) All settings are shared in all languages.
  *) The System Test in the Aleck menu takes several seconds to run.  The screen will freeze during this time.  Couldn't keep the screen alive in the process.  Sorry.
  *) The options menu saves data only when you exit.  If power is reset prior to exiting no changes will be saved.
  *) The eeprom check in the System Test will erase all saved data.  The test is run even when the "disable settings backup" DIP is set.  Settings are only guaranteed to be restored if you exit the menu using button 2 or the exit menu option.
  *) There is no visual confirmation when an option is selected from the Output Test.  The signal for that option is constantly sent until another option is selected or you exit the menu.
  *) When leaving the options menu the "
