● ● Introduction ● ●

 Thank you for downloading True Story FF5r-IC.

 This patch modifies the Super Famicom version of “FINAL FANTASY V”.
 This patch is based on FF5r (created by ff5aki) and has been further modified.
 
 Previously, I released a patch called FF5r-IC.
 This work is a different modified version from that previous work.

 The truth is that FF5r-IC can only be played on an emulator called uosnes.
 We have confirmed that it works. For other emulators,
 If the expanded ROM works, you can probably play it.
 I don’t think there’s any problem, but if you don’t have any particular preferences, I recommend uosnes.

● ● What is the true FF5r-IC? ● ●

 ・Instead of Bartz, the main character is a green-haired female character.

 ・Since the main character is a female, there are some conversations that are a bit yuri-like.

 -Magic and items that appeared in other numbered titles in the FF series
  Many other original spells will also be introduced in this patch.
  There are many variations of magic.

 -Some jobs have been deleted and original jobs have been added.
  (Psychic, Moogle, Dark Knight, Viking, Impersonator,
  ・10 types: Spirit User, Elite Summoner, Alchemist, Astrologian, and Holy Master)

 ・Turn rarely used abilities into useful ones, or create original abilities
  By modifying them, we are expanding the range of character development and strategies.

 ・Damage inflation becomes quite intense towards the end of the story.
  You can enjoy large-scale battles with numbers flying around.

 - The major weakness system, which deals quadruple damage, makes for dynamic battles.

 - Each spell consumes low MP, making them easy to use.
  (That being said, this doesn’t mean it’s a soft game.)

 This patch uses the “disk change system” described below.
  By using multiple ROMs, you can control magic, items, enemies, etc.
  We are increasing the variety.

 - Some of the dark magic from the Game Boy Advance version has been replaced with red magic.
  We are hiring.

 There are a lot of spoilers, but there are tweets about the production process, etc.
 I think you can get a feel for the atmosphere of the piece.

● ● How to make the True FF5r-IC ROM ● ●

 There is not just one ROM used to play True FF5r-IC.
 This patch uses three ROMs due to the disk change system,
 The number of ROMs that need to be created is also three.

 ◆STEP 1

 Remove the header from an unmodified FF5 ROM.
 If you don’t know how to trim the header, this is useful.

https://emu.web-gp.com/info/system/header_smc.html

    WEB GAME PLATFORM – Emulator Information Bureau (Top Page)
    https://emu.web-gp.com/info/center/

 ◆STEP 2

 Obtain the FF5r140 patch and run it on a FF5 ROM with the header removed.
 Apply the FF5r140.ips patch and create FF5r140.smc.

 (There are two types of patches for FF5r140,
  Please note that this is not the FF5r140h.ips version.

 If you want to apply a patch using winips, you must have the latest version.
 There may be some issues, so even if you have already downloaded it,
 To be on the safe side, please use the latest version.

 CRC32 does not match even after patching with winips, or even if it does match
 If the game does not work properly, please apply the patch from the following site.
 It seems that it often works well, so if you are having trouble with it,
 Please try using it.

https://web.save-editor.com/tool

 Search this site for “ROM patch application tool”
 Click on “IPS” just below it.

 From IPS PATCHER (IPS patch application tool)
 Patching can be done.

 The CRC32 of FF5r140.smc (without header) is 01B3ABBC.

 ◆STEP3

 For the created “FF5r140.smc”,
 Apply the following three patches included in this patch file.

 Shinsetsu FF5r-IC Disc1.ips
 
 True story FF5r-IC Disc2.ips
 
 True story FF5r-IC Disc3.ips

 Were you able to apply each patch and create the three ROMs below?

 ◇ True theory FF5r-IC Disc1.smc (Disc1) CRC32:8B4ACC94

 ◇ True theory FF5r-IC Disc2.smc (Disc2) CRC32:C730C050

 ◇ True theory FF5r-IC Disc3.smc (Disc3) CRC32:63A192F0

  (The CRC32 listed is the result of investigation using Snes9x v1.61)

  If the ROM you created does not match the CRC32 listed here,
  The patch was not successful, so please try again from the beginning.
  When you start playing with a ROM that does not match the CRC32 value, a problem occurs.
  It may not work properly.

   Also, when creating a patch, please be careful not to apply duplicate patches.
  
   for example
   Regarding the created True FF5r-IC Disc1.smc,
   Furthermore, if you also get the True Story FF5r-IC Disc2.ips,
   It will not work properly.
   
   surely
  
   FF5r140 ROM to True FF5r-IC Disc1.ips
  
   FF5r140 ROM to True FF5r-IC Disc2.ips
  
   FF5r140 ROM to True FF5r-IC Disc3.ips
  
   So, each ips file is
   It will be created for one “FF5r140” ROM.

 If these ROMs are created normally,
 The game is finally about to begin.

 Run the True FF5r-IC Disc1.smc in the emulator,
 Let the adventure begin.

● ● Save data compatibility ● ●

 Versions of Shinsetsu FF5r-IC older than 2.0.0
 There is no compatibility with the save data from the previous game “FF5r-IC”
 Please do not use such save data.

 In addition, FF5, FF5r, and other FF5 patches created by other authors are also available.
 When using save data or state saves
 There are often glitches, so be sure to start a new adventure.

● ● What is the disc change system? ● ●

 The True Story of FF5r-IC uses a disc change system.
 There is not one but multiple ROMs (three in this patch) used to play.
 As the story progresses, you can change the ROM you use to play.
 You will progress through the adventure by switching between these two characters.
 

 Disc 1 → Disc 2 → Disc 3

 And so on in numerical order.
 (You cannot go back to the previous disc.)

 Things like DQ and FF from the PlayStation era
 If you think about it, it’s easy to understand, isn’t it?

 By having multiple ROMs, items, magic, monsters, etc.
 Variety is added, and there is no flag management.
 This offers many benefits, such as the ability to change various specifications.

 Disk change (changing the ROM used for playing)
 Timing and method are included.
 Please see “Disk Change Guide.txt”.
