Star Ocean translation not working? Try this on for size...

The only way I could get the dejap translation for Star Ocean working was re-naming the rom extencion into .bin. I used INSNES to do this and then I had to attach the IPS(translation) file (again with INSNES) directly into the ROM. The reason I had to do this was propably due to the fact that I had split the ROM earlier in order to move it to my PC so that might be the reason for this not-workingness. Maybe the splitting and joining somehow corrupted the ROM I don't know. If anybody has any idea why this occured please tell me.

Use NSRT to see if you have a valid copy of TOP. You have to test against an UNPATCHED copy of TOP though. Very likely you did not read the readme for TOP to apply the correct patch (there are patches for both interleaved+not-interleaved versions).

In any case, you really don't need to hardpatch... ZSNES already softpatches anyhow.

Replace TOP by Star Ocean and everything applies the same way

Well, this was just something I wanted to point out. As it is, the game works just fine, except for the random crashes that sometimes occur. Somehow they seem to be connected to the BGM and if it's playing or not. I read that somewhere. Saving makes my day
