OK,first bug:
Happened while playing V 1.36 and didn't stop at 1.40
Game:Lufia and the fortress of doom (NTSC) (1)
Problem:At a certain point which I cannot recall for reasons I do not see,
the encounter rate has gone sky-high (monster with EVERY step) and no matter which item is used the encounter rate won't go down.

Second bug:
Happened in version 1.40
Game:Tales of Phantasia (Jap, Dejap translated)
Problem:The game won't load. when I load it it gives out a black screen and nothing happens.
I can load states,in which the music plays and the scenery is "alive",but the game won't respond to any button I press.
EDIT:Forgot to mention checksum fails in here!

To those who will help me...
thanks in advance.

That's probably because of the translation patch.

who knows? no auto IPS patching for me,as I'm working with a patched .fig file.
It's Fignya(don't ask) so I don't care why cheksum fails.

You need to add or remove a header from the unpatched ToP rom image. Use NSRT.

That's a game bug, I'm pretty sure. I think changing zones fixes it.

I played twice through Lufia 2 and the only bugs I found were the famous graphic garbage screens. Nothing about higher encounter rate.

Check if your rom is correct with NSRT.

Also, this is maybe simply the game itself. Lufia 1 was hard because of the monster encounter rate in some areas.

BTW, now that I think about it, Lufia 2 had no random encounters... or only on the world map.

I am playing Lufia 1,not 2!
can't you see?
and switching zones didn't help.
no matter where I go and how I get there the encounter rate stays maximized.
And...
what is NSRT?

About the one-step monster encounter, check your equipment. You might have a ring or similar item that makes monsters appear at every step you take. Unequip it and everything will be OK again.

Random encounters on the world map, wandering monsters in dungeons a-la Chrono Trigger and Earthbound. They were often part of the puzzles you needed to do in the dungeons.

It worked in Lufia!

I removed the header using that NSRT,but it still won't work!

You might have to use the -fix command to fix the rom image if the original is interleaved/byteswapped.

For that, the correct command is -deint.

Yeah, you're right. I looked at the wrong place.
