New IPS patches for Konami games

naais!!

Great work! How does your Vampire Killer patch compare to This one? http://www.msx.org/news/software/en/frs-enhancement-patch-va...
Does it offer any of the cool features of that one?

I see, is somehow close to "nice" lol.

@Rataplan: I did a change on $2B (or 0x2B) checks in the game, FRS didn't changed those.

For Vampire Killer, just change 0x0D9E to 3E 21, do the same for 0x1A09 after FRS's patches then you'll have them all.

Forgot to mention, a LOT Konami games are english only, there is no J (japanese) language at all there, so is wrong to label them as "JE".

Few them are pure japanese, and almost all were translated to english, with exception (AFAIK):
- Mah Jong
- Synthesizer
- Pennant Race 1
- Majutsushi
- Quarth

The list here is:

Another wrong example is Badlands, marked as J, while the game is in pure english.

Yes, but that is wrong, I tested japanese releases and they have both languages on it (J and English).

Many came from arcade or inspired games to arcade too. Since arcade business was global, they needed to put english there as well, and of course, they did.

All those are english only (on MSX at least). Some are from/went to arcade too. Frogger, Super Cobra, Time Pilot, Hyper Olympic 1,2 /Track & Field 1,2 Twinbee, and many others.

They are English only, but appeared in both an English/European and a Japanese box/manual. So, they had 2 different releases (but the same code), one for the European and one for the Japanese market.

Does anyone know where to find the RAR file with these patches these days?
The site if offline where they where in the first place.
