User blog:RottenBlock/Toushin Toshi 1 Patch

If you've ever tried to 100% Toushin Toshi 1, you may have noticed that there's no sign of the Chapu Chapu / Splish Splash Gal Monster. Guides say she should show up on bridges on Level 2, but she never does. What gives?

It turns out there's a problem in the DOS version of TT1 that isn't in other versions (MSX, PC-98, etc). It was in the original Japanese version and remains in Aru Naru's translation. This bug prevents the game from knowing what kind of tile you're standing on, so the game can never tell if you're on a bridge!

This doesn't just fix the Chapu Chapu, it also adds battle backgrounds for certain terrains, and fixes another missing encounter, the Bug, which appears in the hidden developer's room. This was all built into the original game, but AliceSoft forgot to add a single line of code that would turn it on!

This patch will restore these features. Just add the two files inside to your existing game (back up the old files if you're concerned) and everything should run fine. To test it, get into a fight on the first floor of the dungeon. If you see cave walls in the background, like the picture of the Kyan Kyan below, the patch is working. Note that only some terrain types have backgrounds, as you can see in the image of the Bug, also below.

If you come across any bugs introduced by the patch, please leave a comment on this post so that I can fix them!
