Hoshi wo Miru Hito (Japan) [En by KingMike v0.80] (~Stargazers) (Incomplete) many glitches

[ofry]

Original game works fine.

But this translation has too many glitches.

FCEUmm core ce7fe39

Same rom working fine on QuickNES core.

This game has 2 translation variants: 1) "conservative" (which I tested - just translation without hacks) 2) "SRAM saving hack" (same as "conservative" + SRAM saving + increased walk speed).

Both you can find on emuparadise, for example. Or you can get patches from romhacking.net

the mapper 2 code seems correct. the patch needs no_bus_conflicts which by default is ON for fceux(as the original carts are has bus_conflicts), and save ram enabled (for SRAM version). But even with those temporarily modified for the game, it still has dialog issues wherein dialog texts (open menu>click medicine or talk to people) will just keep rolling with an ascii "y" - type character. something else is missing...

[ofry]

I think this dialog autoscrolling made patch author by intend. This is also on QuickNES too.

Tested on Nestopia core too. Same behavior.

Ok, looks like i got it...

But, the game has to be treated differently than what mapper 2 was coded. which means it should match its CRC for proper identification. im using the Goodnes 3.23 pre-patched translation.

OK. Waiting to buildbot compiles this.

Big thanks. It fixed :) Congrats!

What to do? I have same issue.
