          Japanese to English translation for MSX2 by MSX Translations

                                 version 1.0.0

                             Released  03.FEB.2018


			Dedicated to Nijmegen 2018 fair



							     NEW IN THIS VERSION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   First public release.


							           RELEASE NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   This game uses many advanced MSX2 features such as screen splits, scroll,
etcetera. We optimized the game to work almost perfectly on real MSXes,
especially Turbo R. But on emulators there are many issues. For example in bonus
level screen changes do not work properly even on such advanced emulators as
openMSX. BlueMSX has some visual imperfections sometimes, but we left it this
way, because our main concern are real MSXes. Please keep this in mind when you
see some graphics artefacts. Also the game was crashing on BlueMSX and openMSX,
but we managed to fix that issue. We still would like to send our discoveries
to the emulators creators so they can improve them to ensure even better
compatibility with real MSXes.



									   STORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Mr. Ghost, who has been suddenly turned into a ghost, is in a big panic. It's
even more terrible because he has completely no memory of before that. "There
are spirits referred to as little droplets, but these comrades are imprisoned in
hell. Please help them."  The story grows increasingly complex because the
question is who or what said that? "I'll probably have my hands full just with
my own issues... But probably I will understand some more when I meet Great King
Enma", Mr. Ghost thought while setting off to hell together with the little
droplet.



									FEATURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - Full translation of all the texts in the game.
 - Re-wrote the print subroutines with support of new lower-case variable width
   font. A total of 4 new print subroutines to support all game features.
 - New game logo in title screen and new level names in all of the levels.
 - Bonus 2nd logo with googly eyes in letter "O".
 - Reinstated the second bonus level in stage 5 which wasn't accessible.
 - Added a feature to enable the turbo mode on Turbo-R ST/GT computers. Works
   only when required to ensure perfect visual performance.
 - Translated/ altered in-game Japanese Kanji to be represented by new icons on
   for instance Enma's forehead, items you can purchase an more.
 - Fixed a bug when you have more than 10 lives.
 - Fixed unsafe PSG initialization.
 - Improved the screen split at the top of the game screen so it will look more
   polished and doesn't flicker (It's optimized to work on most common MSX
   models and emulators). The best performance is on real MSXes, especially
   Turbo R.
 - Minor improvements to the game to remove some small flaws.
 - Automatically disables network module on Russian MSX2 computers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   MRGEN100.IPS - Japanese to English translation patch for Mr. Ghost

   MRGEN100.TXT - this text file

   MRG2NDLG.IPS - 2nd (alternative) logo. Apply after main patch (MRGEN100.IPS)

   MRGEN1TR.IPS - trainer 1: unlimited flashing

   MRGEN2TR.IPS - trainer 2: unlimited back attacks

   MRGEN3TR.IPS - trainer 3: unlimited lives



							 HOW TO APPLY THIS PATCH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. This patch is in the IPS format. That means you need to apply it with an IPS
   patch program. There are many programs to choose from. On a regular MSX you
   can use IPS4MSX.COM. Lunar IPS or IPS.EXE for instance do the job nicely on
   PCs. MAC-users can apply the patch with a program like UIPS. But there are
   many other suitable programs. If you're planning to play the translated
   version on openMSX you don't need to patch your ROM at all. This emulator
   supports soft patching. Look in openMSX' documentation on how to use patches
   in this way.

2. Make a dump of Mr. Ghost for MSX2. If you don't know how to do this
   or if you don't have the equipment to do it yourself and own the original
   cartridge, then you can get one of the ROM files available on the internet.
   Be sure you use the patch on a clean dump though. Any changes made to the ROM
   file, like for instance an applied cheat, might result in undesirable
   side-effects after patching. Make a back up of the dumped ROM file just in
   case.

3. Place the IPS program, this patch and the ROM of Mr. Ghost you want
   to patch in the same directory. Apply the patch to the ROM file.

4. On an MSX2, MSX2+ or Turbo R the game should work with any program you
   ordinarily load MegaROMs with. Provided that you have enough memory of
   course. On emulators that don't have auto ROM type detection or when it
   doesn't seem to work correctly, select the 'ASCII 8' ROM type.
