[:plant:] Mother 3 (I Can Die Happy Now)

I've been following the translation project with voracious interest for some time, so this patch is the culmination of a long, hard wait.

Does anyone care to post a clean checksum'd copy of the ROM what for patchin' purposes? The last fan translation I tried to install was derailed because I couldn't find a patchable ROM file.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

On Chapter 7 and loving every minute so far. I really like how the game feels like it's taken some steps forward, rather than just being a rehash (the dash ability is terrific since movement was such a crawl in Earthbound).

Best of all, even though references to Earthbound were a little thin on the ground, early on (save for the general look and feel), the fanservice comes hot and heavy later on, with:

Late Ch. 6 spoiler

Spoiler:

A roomful of stuff from the prequel: a bike, a Decoy Teddy, a jukebox that plays classic themes, and Ness's yo-yo in a case guarded by a robomaid. Wonder who put it there...?

and
Early Ch. 7 spoiler

Spoiler:

Dr. Andronuts cameo! He's as misanthropic as always.

and best of all...
Mid Ch. 7 Spoiler

Spoiler:

SATURN VALLEY REDUX! The pigs complaining about the place being nonsensical followed by the farting presents...bliss

Incidentally, if anyone can't find a ROM or has patching difficulties...get it here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Damn, CHz, you're a machine. I've been playing every free hour and still only Ch.7.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
