Download EarthBound: Enhanced ROM Hack

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

-- EARTHBOUND: ENHANCED -- VERSON: 1.1 RELEASE DATE: 1/6/2019 NOTICE: I would like to extent this romhack's changes into the area of tile editing. If anyone reading this readme understands how to properly edit EarthBound's tileset sprites, please contact me on Discord. My Discord tag is Howisthisaname#7965. -------------------------- This is a romhack for EarthBound made by Howisthisaname. I can be contacted on Starmen.net (Either by PM or a reply to the hack's thread) or Discord at Howisthisaname#7965 if need be. Please report any bugs you may notice or encounter in the hack while playing. -------------------------- EarthBound: Enhanced, Version 1.1 (1/6/2019) <---- This is version you are using right now. As of release 1.1, which came out on January 6th, 2019, this hack includes the following changes: - Everything mentioned in release 1.0's changelog, plus... - Fixed some more typos - Minor edits to phrasing in certain dialogue - Various sprite edits to look better Some specifics of the changes in version 1.1 (This isn't all of the changes, but a few key ones): - Made Starman Jr. pink, just like they are in Beginnings! (They're also still small like before.) - Reverted Frank's lips back to being Pink/Red. - Edited Heavily Armed Porky's sprite... just a little bit. - Changed "Attack" in the PSI Menu back to "Offense", like it was originally. I'm honestly not even sure how that got changed. -------------------------- EarthBound: Enhanced, Version 1.0 (3/28/2018) As of release 1.0, which came out on March 28th, 2018, this hack includes the following changes: - Almost all 170 EarthBound enemy battle sprites have been improved in some way, shape or form - Various dialog and text fixes, such as fixing a ton of typos, changing "Pokey" to "Porky", and correcting PSI prefixes. (PSI > PK for offensive attacks) - A few battle theme changes to add more variety to battles and better fit the enemy you're fighting -------------------------- In future updates to the hack I would also like to revamp the over-world sprites similarly to how I've done the battle sprites. (AKA, to make the sprites look better while retaining the Vanilla look and art-style of the game) Similarly, I have no ETA to when this would happen. I haven't even begun work on the over-world sprites at all, and it took me a year just to get this far. FAQ: //How do I install the hack? It's easy. You download a patching program that supports IPS files (I personally recommend "Floating IPS") and apply the patch file (the .ips file included in this download) to an unmodified EarthBound ROM. Then just load the new, patched EarthBound ROM in your favorite emulator (I recommend SNES9X) Make sure you are using the EarthBound ROM with an MD5 value of "a864b2e5c141d2dec1c4cbed75a42a85". As long as the MD5 matches, everything in the hack should work as normal. I've worked on this hack since June of 2017. I thank everyone who's supported me to get this hack this far along. Special thanks: /r/EarthBound on Reddit, the /r/EarthBound Discord Server, Starmen.net, and my boyfriend, KonekoFire.
