= Info =
========
This is a beta release of an English Translation hack of Lunar Silver Star 
Story for Sega Saturn.  It only supports the original non-mpeg edition
at this time.  It will insert the PSX English script into the game as
well as an English font.  Theoretically the game might be playable to
the end, with PSX exclusive content being unreachable.  That said, some
major script changes have been noticed in a few files...

The goal of this release is to identify any major bugs or 
graphical glitches  remaining before final updates are made and work 
progresses to the MPEG edition.  The authors would appreciate if you 
could post bug findings to the segaxtreme forum thread.   
Emulators save-states are very helpful.


SSS (Non-MPEG) TODO:
1. Implement minor script enhancements
2. Subtitle release: (Subtitle JP Audio, Subtitle JP Video)


================
= Requirements =
================
1. Windows to run scripts/executables.
2. Lunar SSS for Sega Saturn (Can be found on Ebay).  
   This release is NOT compatible with the MPEG edition.
   This release is ONLY compatible with version 1.05
3. You should legally own Lunar SSSC for Playstation (Can be found on Ebay).


================
= Instructions =
================
1. Rip Lunar SSS (Sega Saturn) into a bin/cue image using ImgBurn.
   Click Create image file from disc.  Save the bin/cue.
   Verify your ripped image is version 1.05 using the Sega Saturn Region patcher to view the header
   https://madroms.satakore.com/
2. Decide whether to use the patch with Dub Audio or Orignal JP Audio.
   For now, there are no subtitles available in the JP Audio release.
3. Apply the desired patch to using the latest SegaSaturnPatcher tool.
   https://segaxtreme.net/resources/sega-saturn-patcher.73/
   Select the ripped image, select the patch, create the updated game.
   The region free button should now work (Issue has been fixed)
   (Optional) Use the Sega Saturn Region patcher from 
   https://madroms.satakore.com/ to patch the .iso data file to your region instead.
5. To run on hardware with Pseudo Saturn or a Modchip, burn to CDR 
   media (recommend taiyo yuden) at the lowest possible speed. 
   Alternatively an ODE will probably work, but I don't own one,
   so no guarantees.


Recommended emulator: Mednafen
