Question: Why not just use IPC patching? I've never heard of xDelta, is it common amoung ROM Patching?

Size and legality concerns, as well as preventing people from patching the wrong game.

IPS patches are better suited for files that have the same size. For example, let's say we have two text files that contain a line of text.

File 1: This pasta is delicious!
File 2: This candy is delicious!

An IPS program would compare both files, notice the different word, and make a patch that changes "pasta" to candy. But the finished hack ended up with a file size that was much larger than the original...

File 1: This pasta is delicious!
File 2: This candy... I've never seen anything like it! It's delicious!

An IPS program would compare both files, notice the differences... and make a patch that changes "pasta" to "candy... I've never seen anything like it! It's delicious!"

Not only would the IPS patch be huge, it would also contain unmodified data from the game (the bit of text "s delicious!"), so it could get me in trouble because I'm unintentionally including data from a commercial game. You know how crazy lawyers can get.

Plus, the modifications that MottZilla made to the game basically created a copy of the main program data in the middle of the game file, which made the IPS program create patches that had most of the game inside them! XDelta has built-in routines that basically say "Move stuff from here to here, leave this part alone, then apply the changes". They turned a 300 kb IPS file with most of the game inside to a 20-odd kb file that only had the changes.

Hope that made sense. It's 8 AM and I need my coffee. :p

I'm not offended, you're just used to dealing with other people who do this sort of stuff and understand all this.  I'm not one of those people, I don't have a clue about this stuff.

So, I have my old KNT.NES, this patch of yours, and the program you posted above.  But using the patch, my old .NES file, I just get an error "target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT"

In any case I don't have anything to play a .NES on on this computer. 

Yes, it appears the problem is that your file is old. It's probably an earlier version with changed data. If I recall correctly, the game was originally copied to rom format with an incorrect game header, which was later fixed. There was also a website that had a horrible habit of adding their address to the end of every game, and it could've come from that place.

In any case, you can find the correct version under the name "Cattou Ninden Teyandee (J)", usually in zip format. The correct version has a CRC32 value of 6F1485ED. This is normally displayed when you open the zip file in a program like Winrar or Winzip.

I never considered anyone would have so much trouble with this. I'm used to dealing with people who have been playing patches for years... then again, this happened to me back in the day with my Dragon Ball Z patches, haha.

I'll write a tutorial on how to patch the game shortly.

Edit: Here you go.

Hopefully that's clear enough, I'm really bad at writing instructions.

Edit again: I had to rebuild the patch due to problems with the older version, you now have to use a different version of the game - a much better version, anyway. Sorry again.

The patch must be applied with an XDelta patcher.
 If you're too dumb to understand this, well, that's your problem.

That's aggressive... Well, I was about to try this but you killed my mood...

Agh. Sorry. Both of you, please accept my apologies. I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Grab this.

It's a GUI frontend, and it makes things easier.

I apologize for the tone of the readme, I uploaded this quickly and was tired when I wrote that. The readme has been amended to include that line.

It took me way longer than I had hoped for, but I've finally released my translation patch for the game. Features include:

* Upper and lowercase text;
* A super awesome title screen;
* A fully translated script with no shortcuts taken (thanks to MottZilla and his efforts to expand the game ROM);
* A made up translation created in the spirit of the show, by a fan, for the fans;
* An awesome rendition of the Samurai Pizza Cats title tune by Optomon;
* Fully translated credits including the character names that show up under their portraits.

The translation is done, for free, for everyone. I have no idea if this game will work on flashcarts, hopefully it will. Have fun, enjoy, and whatnot.

I am aware of Tengus. I'm just wondering if Mount Tengu has an English SPC equivalent.

Is Tengu the same mountain that appears in the game's world map?
If so, it's commonly been referred to in SPC as "Mount Koochie". 

... how the HECK did they get that past the censors?!

I am aware of Tengus. I'm just wondering if Mount Tengu has an English SPC equivalent. The Wikipedia SPC article mentions that the Ninja Crows are from Korea or something, it may have been translator goofiness at work again, but since I don't have access to all these episodes I needed someone to verify these for me.

Regarding the other thing: Edo Dome it is. Thanks.

*bump for thread editing*

Any help?

I just realized this guy:
http://www.edoropolis.org/umrain/motw/frank.html
Looks a lot like Kinnukuman/the guy from Ultimate Muscle.

Anyway, looks like I got enough material for the uh. Thing. Eheh. Thankyew.

(Changed topic!)

I need to know if these names and places have SPC counterparts. I couldn't find anything on the internet.

In Round 4 of the SPC game, the Ninja Crows are said to be based on Mount Tengu. I need to know what the location or name of their base is in the US version. I only found that they're supposed to be from Korea (or that their helmets are from Korea...)

Also, in Round 7, a place called "Edo-Dome" is mentioned. I think it's a huge stadium.

Thanks!

Download 9-in-1 Ninja Cat, it lets you go to any level.

Francine/Otama says "No thanks!"

Threaux: Thanks.

I kinda need them and can't find them on the intarweb. For uh. Stuff.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINS.

Am I the only one that noticed this video is a THRILLER parody?

Here's the video (short version) and here's the longer version.

Was that someone named Adam? Because Ego pretty much did this entirely by himself, except for voicing Meryl and Adam at the end. =P

No, his nickname there is 'soniczip'. I dunno if he's Egoraptor or not... he's not very liked in the forum, though. A lot of people flame him, but they're mostly elitist jerks so eh.

Sweet Transvestite (The Rocky Horror Picture Show OST)

Someone at a forum I visit posted this there. Apparently he had a hand in making it or something.

This is NOT WORK SAFE. It's got profanity, violence, profanity, blood, profanity, innuendo, profanity, gunshots, profanity, and a stupid joke about the DARPA chief being on a toilet.

It's still funny if you're a Metal Gear Solid fan. Again, not work safe!

I need some help. I'm setting up a site for something I've been planning to do for a while, but I don't know where to find a decent webcounter which also tracks referrals. I'm looking for either a decent free webservice (like Sitemeter, only not as restrictive in referral tracking), or a PHP-only script that can be run on my webserver. I don't have access to MySQL.

I didn't know if I should ask here or on the games forum, so I chose here.

Any help?
