Seiken Densetsu 3: Seiken Densetsu 3: 2 Players restoration hack

Seiken Densetsu 3: 2 Players Restoration Hack (For use on Unheadered ROMs with 3 Player hack applied)

Recently a group of users and great hackers have joined forces to give some (lots of) love to Seiken Densetsu 3, one of the most beautiful and charming games on the SNES.



Recently someone pointed out that the 3 players hack triggers a bug under certain circumstances in a section of the game. So, given that some translations (i.e. Spanish) include the 3 Players hack, and also some people have that hack added to their customized ROMs, here is a little patch that simply reverts the changes made by 3 Players hack, for UNHEADERED ROMS.

(More information in the readme).

Seiken Densetsu 3: 2 Player restoration (For use in Unheadered roms with 3 player patch applied)

First best regards to all romhacking community!

Recently I've reading a new discussing thread in which some talented hackers putting lots of love to SD3 have revived my love
for this game. I remember having a very good time when playing it about 15 years ago, when Spanish translation finally saw
light of day. I realized that it was a very flawed game, but that graphic style and that wonderful OST always enthralled me.

Recent posts of the thread (link below) pointed out that the 3 players hack triggers a well known bug with save files in the
ghost ship section of the game under certain circumstances. That reminded me that the latest version of the Spanish translation
contained the 3 players hack, so I decided to put remedy and revert the translation to 2 players again.

So here it is, a simple patch that reverts the changes of the 3 players patch, for unheadered roms.

Happily, this patch makes the Spanish translation fully compatible with Praetarius' fixes (I don't know if it was before,
since depending of patching order, Crc32 was different). It was already compatible with most hacks, including cosmetic and
hmsong mods (although G-Trans tittle screens will cause special characters not showing correctly in the intro roll).

Parche para revertir a dos jugadores la traducción española de Seiken Densetsu 3 y cualquier rom sin cabecera con el parche
de tres jugadores aplicado.

Hace la traducción compatible con el Fix de Praetarius (ya era previamente compatible con todos los demás hacks existentes)

Aunque no tiene nada que ver con este parche, la traducción contiene, entre otros, la antigua pantalla de título
"Secret of Mana 2", de snes-projects. Podéis cambiarla por otras más actuales, pero no os extrañéis si durante la intro
algunas palabras con caractéres especiales no aparecen como debieran.
