J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: Volume 1: Moria Password Fix is a set of patches for the Super Nintendo game that addresses a password validation glitch encountered in the mines of Moria. This bug prevents valid passwords from being accepted, requiring players to revert to older passwords. The patches, available in both IPS and BPS formats, support various regional ROMs and facilitate a smoother gameplay experience.
These patches fix the Moria password glitch for J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings - Volume 1 (SNES).
When the player reaches the mines of Moria, the passwords the game generates are valid, but a bug in the password validation code results in the code failing. This means one would have to use an older password from before Moria or restart the game entirely; either way, this would be incredibly frustrating. The behaviour and bugfix is documented by ClAndrew on his blog: https://cml-a.com/content/2021/04/06/lord-of-the-rings-snes-bugfix/.
ClAndrew implemented a bugfix via SNES Pro Action Replay codes. These patches mimic his work and implements it as ROM patches for those wishing to flash the fix to a physical cartridge. Shoutouts to him for his efforts reverse engineering that section of the game and implementing a fix! Supported are the headerless USA, Europe, and German ROMs listed below and comes in both IPS and BPS formats.
