Problem with Dragon Quest VI patch

[Shadow_Bunny]

I downloaded a ROM of DQ6 off of coolrom.com, which loaded just fine but was in Japanese. I got a translation patch off of http://www.romhacking.net/trans/344/, but when I apply it the ROM stops working. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm using ZSNES for Windows v1.51 by the way.

Usually you will need the original Japanese version of the ROM. Many patches won't work correctly if applied to a corrupted ROM. A corrupted ROM is one that has already been altered (by a patch, for example) or is flawed in some other way.

Make sure the patch and the game share the same name, eg Dragon Quest VI.ips and Dragon Quest VI.smc. Put both the ROM and the patch in the same directory, load up the game in ZSNES and the emulator will automatically apply the patch.

Edit: Try this modified ips file, i've had it working in Zsnes. I was having the same problem with the screen freezing before i modified the patch. I've only played the first few minutes and it worked in English. Unzip it first.

The patch Jackhammer uploaded is an older version of NoProgress' patch.

Here's the most recent version, already patched to the rom:
