ROM Hack Mother 1+2 Fan Translation

[Sterophonick]

I only use Windows, so I will use that so it's easier for me.
Use a tool called Lunar IPS.
I assume you know where to download the IPS?

The Clean ROM should have a SHA1 Checksum of F27336B9C96CA2D06C34E07A61A78538DEAC32B3.
The CRC32 should be A44569C.

You talk about the ips file downloadable from GitHub that @Wuigi mentioned earlier?

Please, can you explain me that?

I never use it, so explain me please.

The CRC32/SHA1 is just a way of knowing if your ROM has been altered or not.

EarthBound is my second favourite game of all-time. While I'd still prefer the SNES version because of the soundtrack (and that's very, very important in EarthBound), I think it's great this is being done at all. I hope someone might do a sound and colour restoration patch after this is said and done.

Kudos to you guys for the initiative. Fantastic work.

Ok, it is a clean ROM.

@Kirbeat So just follow the instructions with Lunar IPS. Get your ROM ready, and the patch.

@Kirbeat Was that helpful?

I found that a page talking about Lunar IPS, says that mac users can use Wine to run it. But still, there is a Mac program called MultiPatch but I try to patch the rom witch it and doesn't work.
I'll try to do it via Lunar IPS, but if it is something that I may to know, say it please.

So is the MOTHER translation in this the same as the earlier Mother 1 GBA hack? Is it more based on the official Beginnings ROM?

It is the same as the former hack.

It is the same as the former hack.

Nice! I vaguely recall earlier attempts only including a MOTHER 2 translation. Nice to have one ROM with both, will be neat to play when it's done!

Umm, I patched it via Lunar IPS in my Mac via Wine an it saya "It was patched successfully" or something like that. I will try tomorrow on a Windows but, if it doesn't works via Wine (and I know that Wine emulates Windows to a point that it can modificate roms, for example, it runs the GBA VC Injector) and doesn't works via Mutipatch, a completely normal and useful patcher (I patch the 4 Super Mario Advance with that for example), made me think that the patch doesn't work?
If it works for you so... (sorry for saying this but is my final chance of playing the hack) Can you upload the rom already patched?

Edit: And Lunar IPS DOES work in Mac via Wine, I patched SMA3: Yoshi's Island with the colour patch and it work so...
The IPS have a problem. No the patcher, nor the computer, the patch itself, or maybe isn't made for the exact rom that I have? I don't know, but confirm me if the patch work to you please.

@Kirbeat that's against forum guidelines

The Mother 1+2 Title Screen, Game Selection Screen and Mother 2 Title Screen have not been altered in the patch yet.

Ok, sorry.

 

[Sliter]

nice! MAybe nw I finally get to play this series xD

Oh, right, I never see Mother 2 after patching the rom, only Mother 1, and yes, Mother 2 is completely en English! But Mother 1 isn't, why? I'm going to apply the old Tomato patch of Mother 1 in English, but THIS hack (the one in this tread) don't have Mother 1 translated.
