Congratulations on the completion of Week1 patch!

Hi Duke, Euclid and everyone,

Just happened to check out the main site today and noticed that a new announcement was made about the first week of AST being completed. Congratulations to you all for finally making it happen!

I'm playing through it now and having a blast so far. : )

Hope you all like the AST artwork. Duke had asked me to create it as part of a secret project to be released alongside the release of the first week's patch. I had a lot of fun making it. ^^

So what is next, the patches for weeks 2, 3 and 4 and then eventually the dungeon music (from the soundtrack that Cent purchased awhile back I presume?)and title screen with the option of choosing between the boy and girl? Are those things still possible?

Good luck with the rest of the patches and thanks for all the hard work you all have put into this project so far!

I just wanted to thank duke and euclid on their very hard work on the AST patches. I know you two have been working on them for a long time. This time 2 years ago it seemed pretty hopeless the game would ever be restored but it just goes to show you what hard work, dedication and some team work can accomplish. Week 2 will be available on Sept 12? Wow! Much sooner than I expected. It looks like you guys will beat the Twilight Princess release date. Hope you are not offended but I will not be playing the game until all 4 weeks are completed. I want to enjoy the game in all of its glory.

Euclid, Duke, congratulations on all the hard work you guys have done on this patch! Marvelous stuff, guys *thumbs up*

Man, it's hard to believe how much work has been done on this, and how great it's all coming together :)

Skywelse - I noticed tha artwork... nice work - I really like the obscuring of the face, and you managed to blend the principle characters together quite well.

And Skye, that artwork looks simply fantastic, I can only imagine how much work it has taken to make it look that good!

This is truly great work Euclid and Duke, can't thank you enough!!!
I managed to find a bug though, in the first Dungeon going down the stairs into the big chest room will show what I mean. There are "double borders".
EDIT: Found another bug right when you enter the second dungeon, some tiles are messed up. Is it only me getting these bugs? Is this patch compitable with the patch by d4s?

don't patch it on d4s's version like that.

add a header using some snes tools on that rom before you patch it, then it may work.
Yayyyy

I did add a header, and it works but I've encountered the bugs that I mentioned above. I just thought that they are in such places that you should be able to notice them quite easily so I was just wondering if those buggs occured because of the d4s patch.

I went through the whole week and those were the only bugs I found.

EDIT: Went and checked the pre-patched rom, seems like the bug doesn't exist there. Why doesn't the pre-patched rom include the fix by d4s? Anyways, I bet I'll have to try again to get a working rom with the patch by d4s.

EDIT2: Okay, tried repatching, now for some reason everytime I try to do it, when I get to a room with two layers I won't see down below because the sight is blocked by floor tiles.

I just patched a fresh copy of d4s week1 headered onto that patch, works fine for me.

You might've patched with the beta beforehand.... because there are bugs in the beta which are fixed in this.

D4s's version has the floor patch on, you will need a "unfloor patch" to get it without floors.

If you know anything about cheat codes, use these 8 codes to temporary fix it while you're playing.

8C8000EC, 8C800101, 8C8002EC, 8C800301
8C8004EC, 8C800501, 8C8006EC, 8C800701

we should've released a d4s week1 version as well :P
Yayyyy

Okay I just finished testing these things and noticed that the floor bug occurs if you patch in the following order: Map, Restore, Translation & Finally Week 1 Patch

The other bug appears if the beta patch has been patched and then the final week 1 is being used. Seems like I'll have to try the "cheats".

Yeah well and most importantly coding skillz.

None taken, but the reason we are trying so hard to release a patch every week is precisely so that people can get the game the way it was originally aired in Japan (basically you have a whole week to find every little secret before moving on to the next).
So technically, that (playing the game as its parts are released week by week) would be all of its glory.

That's something I had to push him into doing :lol:

As for the bugs reports... I think I'll let Euclid handle those :floater:

I was too impatient so I created a floor removal patch on my own. It was done by comparing the original beta release d4s patch with the original one and it seems to do the trick. Can't garuantee it will work flawlessy further in the game. Anyways here it is!
