Arabian Night SNES English Tranlation complete!

Post by ST Dragon »

For anyone that hasn't noticed, the English patch for Arabian Nights ROM on the SNES is finally 100% complete!
I've been long waiting for this and what a cool game it is!
This is one of the few turn-based RPGs which I'm actually enjoying.

Is this actually good? All I remember Takara for is questionable SNK ports.

Graphics and script are great and story-line so far is interesting and the music is excellent, quite different to most other SNES RPGs. One track sounds like an AMIGA Mod rather than the typical spc audio files.

So I tried to patch the rom and it made a .bps file. When I tried to load it into zsnes it says it is a bad rom. What am I doing wrong here?

No.
The *.bps file is the translation patch which you should have downloaded from the above link, you need to use the beat.exe patch tool (2nd link) to patch a valid Japanese SNES rom of Arabian Nights which should be in *.sfc format.

You'll then load the patched *.sfc Rom file in ZNES not the *.bps file.

Have fun!
