I.============================(VERSION HISTORY)=============================


	Version .9  -   (05/31/99)Public beta release


                           _____________________
Ia.=======================(HOW TO USE THIS PATCH)===========================


	Quite simple.  You need the following to apply this patch and then be
able to play the game:

			-SNEStool.exe (included in this zip)
			-DirtyPair.ips (the translation patch)
			-An FDS rom of Dirty Pair... do not ask me for it!!
			-an emulator to play the game on (http://zophar.net
			  --go to the NES section and download fwNES).

	Okies, now stick SNEStool, the Dirty Pair rom, and the ips file all
in the same directory.  Run SNEStool, and select the option "Use IPS".  Then
select DirtyPair.ips.  Then select the rom.  And you're done!  All you need
to do to play your game is to run your modified Dirty Pair rom in fwNES (or
if you need an alternative, Famtasia), and enjoy the game!


                              _______________
II.==========================(AN INTRODUCTION)==============================


	Ballzysoft Industries is a one-man group devoted to hacking classic
video games.  A new twist to old games, as it were.  This is done because
of the childhood memories I have of playing these great games, and now,
today, reliving the adventures.  Only now it is I who calls the shots.  I
hope that you, too, enjoy the products of Ballzysoft Industries as much as
much as I helped to create and reinvent them.

	I translated this game to show what an icky otaku I can be. I love
the sci-fi shlock anime that is "Dirty Pair", so getting this game in full
English was a must on my list.  Finding a translator for what minute
dialogue the game had proved surprisingly difficult.  After Chojin lost a
completed script translation to the CIH virus, I went to maht from RPGe and
got things finished up.  There.  It only took 6 months.  :/  Shoot, and
this game isn't even the highest calibur out there... My sweat and blood
went into this thing, though, so you gotta give me props there, even if the
game kinda does suck.

V.===============================(STATUS)===================================


	Me and Spinner were a tad suspicious about the fact that we couldn't
find much of anything to translate, but it appears everything that needs to
be translated has been.

	Take note: this game is hard. VERY HARD. I myself can't get past
stage 2, and I think I've progressed further than anyone else ever has. So
the ending dialogue is a bit shaky.  maht had some trouble translating a
bit of it, and I have no way of testing to make sure I didn't totally
screw up the insertion.  That's the only reason why this isn't a 1.0 final
release.  I have on my page savestates if you wanna get to the different
levels in the game.  If ANYONE can get past stage 2, please, send me your
save state!!  And tell me what you did, for that matter.  That building is
a freakin' labyrinth... :/

VI.==========================(SPECIAL THANKS)===============================

	 Graphics Extractor.

	-toma for his weebles!!

	-Bandai for making a crappy game to waste my time on.

	-Braxton, for font and title screen advice

	-The amigos listed in section III.

	-The d00dz who made the stuff in section IV.

	-and the obligatory 10 people whose names should be here but I
	 have forgotten.  You know who you are!!  Too bad I don't...

VII.====================(CONCLUSION / DISCLAIMER)===========================


	You know what this is, the usual yackity smackity.  You can
distribute this PATCH as much as you want on the net, just be sure to include
all original documentation, and do NOT distribute it as a patched rom or
with any other roms for that matter. Roms are like, illegal and stuff. 
Ballzysoft Industries takes no responsibility if this patch makes your
computer blow up or something similar to that effect. Dirty Pair and other
aforementioned umm... stuff is all copyright their respective owners. This 
patch itself is copyright 1999 Ballzysoft Industries. Ballzysoft is yet another
victim of the "dot com bubble". That's my story and I'm sticking to it. It's
remnants live on at http://rpgd.emulationworld.com/ballz/ . Ask me for
roms and I'll keep urinating on your porch.  I'm not some weenie otaku cuz I
took a cheerleader on a date Saturday night... two years ago, anyways. God
damn I wish I had a girlfriend. The secret lies in the cereal. Avoid Coco
Puffs like the plague, k?
