| As many people in Mumble are aware, I've been working on a Pony hack of EarthBound for the Super Nintendo. EDIT:The final game is now available. Please inform me of anything that seem off, such as remaining human characters, inconsistent information, typos, bugs, etc The patch can be found here: EquestriaBoundThis patch doesn't require you to start over, but you will need to apply the patch to a fresh rom. - Instructions:
First, you will need a Super Nintendo Emulator OTHER than Zsnes 1.5.1. Other emulators or older versions of Zsnes will work. If you need one, you can find Snes9X here: Windows Linux Mac OSSecond, you will need an EarthBound Rom. A quick search on google should find one. Third, you will need the attached IPS patch. You will then need to apply the patch to the rom. The easiest way to do this is with Lunar IPSIf you wish to use another patching system, you will need to expand the rom to 32 MBit first. If you don't know how to do it, just use one of the tools above instead. Afterwords, just open the rom in your Emulator
- Screenshots:
- Demo 2 Screenshots:
- Known issues:
The built in save does not work. You will need to use save states.
EDIT: updated the demo, having fixed the issues reported below, as well as some issues that weren't listed EDIT: Updated with some crash fixes[b] EDIT: Demo 2! EDIT: Bugfixes EDIT: Demo 3! EDIT: Demo 4! EDIT: Demo 4.1! EDIT: Release!

| CKTofu's Bug & Error Report - Spoiler:
Talking to Diamond Tiara when she comes to your house in the beginning: 1: "This is clearly the guards fault" should be "guards' " or "guard's" if possible. 2: Refusing Diamond Tiara once ends up with the Yes/No text sitting on top of Diamond Tiara's speech (The "You have to help me!" line). After leaving the house with Diamond Tiara, talking to Daring Do: 1: "I was too busy adventuring to investiage, but" should be "investigate" 2: "I'm a real mare amoung mares." should be "among" Luna appears in parasprite (?) form: 1: "Despite out of form, we are" missing a word? "Despite being out of form"? 2: The "And," after the 10 years in the future should not be capitalized. Currently inside at home just after the Lunasprite's death.
That's all for now, folks!

No, I can't, Mr. Moderator. All these should be fixed in my development copy now. -Same for Tofu's. BTW, Luna is probably a Bee (or not) or a Rhinoceros Beetle (or not) Or maybe a Dung Beetle or Toilet Fly is you ask Lardna Minch. |

| Hard to say. The fact that a lot of the graphics changes don't need to be redone and some area specific graphics were done earlier will save time, but the next demo will include Twoson, Peaceful Rest Valley, and Happy Happy Village, so it's going to cover a lot more.
I do plan to release a minor update this weekend, though. Since that's when I plan to announce the hack on Starmen.net, I'm going to make an updated version of the demo that includes the bugfixes I've done, and hopefully has a hovering sprite for Scootaloo to replace Poo's meditating sprite. |

SS refers to being talked to by the 'bug' Luna before she is even met when you go south. Game freezes when I call dad and he talks about switching power off instead of reset. Also save didn't work but that my fault.

| The "freezing" when you tell your dad you want to quit is a deliberate thing from the original game. You're supposed to turn off your Super Nintendo, like he said.
As for the normal save not working, your emulator may not save the SRAM right away. In SNES9x, you can change how frequently the SRAM Autosaves in Emulation > Settings. You can also manually save the SRAM in the file menu Most people just use Save States, though. |

| ahh i got my fix but now i have to wait but any way on to the report! - Spoiler:
I dont have a picture for this one but, when I stayed the night at the south ponyville hotel it didn't take my money had $111 when I went in and $111 when I came out. When you sleep in South Ponyville Sweetie Belle tries to talk to you but her name comes up as "Belle" through-out the conversation back in north ponyville when you first visit Twilight there's a couple grammar error Don't know how I did it but I fucked shit up good with this one. I called home from South Ponyville and asked Derpy to send a deliver guy to pick up some of my items, I left the hotel and then got into a fight but the UI wouldn't show up after the fight I also couldn't see text boxes (saving and reloading it save fixed it) I think he means the human human cult Dinky got a sex change, AGAIN (don't blame you little things liek these probably blend right in) Thats all I got for my first play through I'll try to do another one before the end of the week Demo 1 Deaths: 5 (like 5 play throughs) Demo 2 Deaths: 12 (only 1 play through)

| I've fixed all of those except the weird in battle one. I should release a patch later this week with them fixed. The gender fix may make the game do completely insane things, since getting it to treat Dinky, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo as female required an ADM hack- Technical Junk:
To determine PC gender, the game checks if the character is Character 2 (Paula/Sweetie Belle), then returns 2 (female) if they are and returns 1 (male) otherwise. I modified it so that both options return 2
Original code: CMP #$0002 BNE $51E5 LDA #$0002 BRA $51E8 LDA #$0001
I changed the last line to LDA #$0002, so that both options return female... I think. I don't actually know assembly, so this new code may launch nukes at Russia.
EDIT: Tested the gender fix - looks like it works

| For some reason, I put the completely wrong address for the text on that house. I've fixed that, and gotten it to display full names when getting an item. |

| heres the stuff I seen "to get to get" I think she means Arn't but who am I to argue with Fluttershy =/ The Salad is really messed up using help on it. I got like 3 different Item descriptions including peanut cheese bar, Salad jelly and grass Salad. Celestia got a sex Change... I guess after 1000 years you get bored of being a girl and want to try something new... (seen this my first play through but didnt get a screenshot was a bitch to try and replicate died 2 times trying to reduce her mana to 0 and get her to cast a spell for this text) I think you might wanna look at this sentence again "I know you're here to the place of my birth, and use that magic to strength the element." also it should be strengthen. Hard to see in a Screenshot but everytime I walked around this area the game froze I couldn't move or open the menus it didn't seem to be a photo moment as photofinish never poofed in and it wasnt a call so idk what caused it you should be your few personal comments -Spitfire OMG! -Fluttershy seemed a bit weak not sure if it was luck or the fight itself (she only used offense omega and brain shock seemed too easy to me took 0 damage that entire fight" -douche move putting a fire boss in a thunder dungeon.. -Celestia seemed a bit powerful especially compared to the last 2 bosses you fight both AJ and Shy are pushovers compared to this fight though this might have been because my level Dinky 41 Sweetie 39 Bloom 37 Scoots 30 was a fun fight actually having to use those abilites I get instead of just attacking |

| alright because this last part is so big im probably going to do it in 3 sections heres part 1 shouldn't Captain be capitalized because its a title? Minor you instead of your error Also battle text was too fast for me but when Dinky is home sick your get a message like "Dinky misses his mom" I couldn't get a pic I'll try if it happens again this covers up to tende village or seaponygofuckyourselfwithyourshoeshoebedoshoes |

| It may be two in the morning but damnit I saved Equestria and then Dinky made sweet love to Sweetie belle wierd.... Last few things I seen should be "things" Gummy is a rat! misspelled darkness unless thats intentional not so much as anything wrong just funny that Dinky's dad called at night talking about me needing to save the world after its already been done lol Think thats all unless todpole comes up with anything I think your good to go! (note I didnt run around the world and talk to everyone after you kill the final boss) |
