Breath of Fire III - Spell Name Update Hack
By Almagest
-------------------------------
Introduction
-------------------------------
This hack updates the spell names so they can phonetically match the original Japanese
names. The spell names were mostly made up by Capcom, they're neither Japanese or English words.
However, there *is* some wordplay involving Japanese and English words.
-------------------------------
How to Apply
-------------------------------
Apply with PPF-O-Matic. Breath of Fire III is a multi-track game,
so the patch must be applied to the track that contains the game (normally Track 1).
If the ISOs have no name, apply to the largest file.
This patch is only compatible with the US release for the PlayStation.
Tested with ePSXe and works. This was not tested on real hardware.
