[PSX] Breath of Fire III - Spell Name Update v1.1


This is an update of one of my submitted hacks. Please download it if you've gotten the initial release from RHDN's database. Very little was changed, but hopefully you'll enjoy it.

This hack updates Breath of Fire III's spell names in order to match their original Japanese pronunciations. Skill names are also affected by this patch, but not many. The reason why I did this hack was because there's actual voice acting in this game, and since the spells' names are actually mentioned while casting them, it'd make some sense to leave them in their original state. Many of the spell names were made up by Capcom and are neither in Japanese or English. In fact, there's some wordplay mixing both. I find the Japanese spell names to be quite interesting and unique, it'd be nice if other BoF fans knew about them.

Compatible only with the NA release for the PlayStation. Do not apply it to any other release, as it might corrupt your ISO.
Tested with ePSXe and works. It wasn't tested on real hardware though.
