The document came with copies of Earthbound cartridges when it came out in western countries in 1995. Users looking around in the Nintendo Online news feed, found on the Nintendo Switch home screen, found a QR code that leads to the PDF. However, with the game's re-release for the Nintendo Online subscription service, it has been pointing a whole new generation of users to the well-designed guide often commended for its artistic style. It has offered a PDF of the original 1995 guide for free online for a few years. Nintendo must see its 135-page player's guide for Earthbound as highly important. It's a piece of nostalgia that many gamers would like to see for other classic games. Players digging around in the service's menus rediscovered Earthbound's complete player's guide, which Nintendo posted as a free PDF online. This is a dump of the NA prototype cart, so it's Earthbound.Why it matters: One highlight of this week's Nintendo Direct is the rerelease of Earthbound and its prequel on Nintendo's subscription service. ZombiePossessor: No one cares, Mother is the Japanese name. (Also, how do I find out a NES rom's CRC? Google doesn't seem to want to help me.) So it normally should be fine to use the clean dump. I doubt the clean dump would need any AP fix, since the AP screen occured only because the game data had been tampered with (the modified titlescreen and textbox fix) The reason why Demiforce hacked it in the first place is because it froze on Nesticle whenever textboxes appeared. Oh, and for those interested, the original untouched prototype rom works just fine on nesDS. Since the rom had beed edited, the checksum wasn't correct anymore, which made the game display it's anti-piracy text.ĭemiforce then hacked it again to solve the anti-piracy problems and changed the Zero from White to Blue to differentiate the AP hacked version from the other one. It was easy to do, they just had to edit one single byte for it to work.īut then, another problem arose. However, this didn't work on Nesticle, the emulator used at the time, so Demiforce hacked it to make it work again and added Zero to the titlescreen to differentiate it from Earthbound on the SNES. After some reading on, the (Prototype) is the clean rom straight from the cart.
