Ninja Gaiden 3 - Restored Patch
By: MottZilla

The US version of Ninja Gaiden 3 is inferior to the Japanese version in 3 ways. Greatly increased damage from
all hazards, limit of 5 continues, and no password system. My previous patch addressed the first two problems,
fixed the damage and you never run out of continues. This patch finally tackles the final piece, passwords.

The US version had all password program code removed. So I started from scratch and devised my own password
program code. It works well, and the passwords match the Japanese version's passwords. This finally is the
definite version of NG3 to play. The original US release and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy release all have drawbacks
to the Japanese version, and this patch is on par with the Japanese version, or better since it is in English.

Ninja Gaiden 3 - Difficulty Patch
By: MottZilla

This patch can be applied to the US version of Ninja Gaiden 3 - The Ancient Ship of Doom. The US version of the
game has very noticably increased difficulty over the original Japanese release. All things deal more damage to you
than originally intended. It seems that most things deal twice the damage they did in the Japanese version. This 
patch will bring the US version back to the original damage numbers. Another way in which the US version was made 
harder was the limiting of the number of Continues you could use. They gave you 5 and if that wasn't enough too 
bad. The Japanese version gave you unlimited Continues. Not only did you have unlimited chances, there was a 
password system to resume your game at a later time. This patch does not restore the password feature but it does 
stop your Continue stock from depleting so you may have unlimited chances. 

So you have with this patch:
* Normal Damage Level
* Unlimited Continues

This should make the game more playable and more enjoyable for those that found the game a bit too unforgiving.
