Crystalis Proofread is a ROM hack for the Nintendo Entertainment System that enhances the original game's text by correcting grammatical and spelling errors. It addresses issues such as poor English in character dialogues and ensures that existing save files remain compatible. However, certain limitations prevent corrections to hard-coded elements. This patch does not include newly localized content or memes.
This hack resolves the questionable grammar and spelling choices featured in the original game, not limited to correcting the broken English of the innkeepers, and the Queen of Portoa's propensity for swapping commas and apostrophes. All existing save files and save states will work with this hack, as no addresses in the ROM were changed. Due to hard-coded addressing, certain corrections could not be made, such fixing Asena and Kensu's names (Athena, Kensou), or lengthening statements and item names. This is not a "localization", and no memes or other easily-dated content have been added. This is my first ROMhack.
