Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden 3 Japanese to French to English Translation
Copyright 2000, DragonballZ Translations and Vice Translations
Original patch by Vincent, DragonballZ Translations
Original Idea by Gideon Zhi
Project continued by Kitsune Sniper, Steven Csuth & Jason Rubin 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This patch is now for the Japanese ROM ONLY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought of all the kids who suffered to find the Ultimate Menace ROM and I
thought: "Why don't you make a patch for the Japanese Version?" Well, here it is!
Actually, I remember reading somewhere in a message board that Gideon Zhi planned to
do this patch, but since he didn't finish the french patch, well, I decided to
do it. 

If you find my patch and decide to post it on your 
site, please contact me at my email address and send me your site's 
address. If possible, I'll add your site to my links section, and I'll 
notify you of any updates.

Version History

Version 1.1J = May 20, 2000, 6:30 PM [11,678 bytes]
Whew! This is one HUGE patch! Everything that's in the original french to english
translation is here!

********************
NOTES / Known issues
********************
  There are menus that I couldn't translate, because I couldn't find the letters that they
  use in them...

  Some of the dialogue has been edited for clarity and space limitations. 

 -Vegeta's Big Bang Attack was originally translated as "Demon Flash". I kept this name 
  due to space limitations.

 -Vegeta's Final Flash was originally translated as "Vegeta Ray [Beam]".

 -... I forgot to send Steven the final attack names, as well as Future Trunks' moves.
  I based them off of Kyo Kusanagi's FAQ, which helped me a great deal! It's most likely 
  the best source of information on the japanese game. You can get it at www.gamefaqs.com.


 -DO NOT USE THE SMALLER PATCH ON THE JAPANESE ROM! The game will be seriously screwed up 
  if you do. Remember to make backups before applying the patch!

What's left

Those damn menus!

How to patch [by Vincent]
***************
First, get SNESTool12 [I've included it ~K]. Then put that in the same
folder with the rom and the patch. Double click on
SNESTool12. Press "u" to use the patch. Use the arrow
keys to move to the patch. Press "Enter" to select it.
Then use the arrow keys to move to the rom. Press
"Enter" to select. It should say "IPS patched ok."
near the bottom in the Info space. Then press "q" to
quit, and you have just patched a rom.


Please do not bother me on how to patch roms. Any questions regarding 
how to patch roms will be IGNORED [everything else is OK].
