I hold whenever I don't want encounters. This is B button in Dreamcast right? Not B button in GC?

I think I got to load from a save and it will not work if you load from a save state.. I'm not sure if that's correct but that how I did it.

More version will come if the result is good.
Thanks for this! If you (or anyone else) could do a version where the EXP is doubled to accommodate, that would be awesome!

Oh I love the work you've done doing the uncensored of one of the greatest games of all time, and I'd love to play it again with this latest update of encounter rate /2 and stopped with B, but I have an essential question:


Does it still include the RGB Scart 60hz for use on CRT's?

Thank you!

You're right, it works! Running it on a DC with MODE on a 15khz CRT via RGB and it's glorious! You are a hero. Thank you!!!

Is it safe for me to try to use my regular US version save file on that VMU or are they incompatible? Wanted to check first before putting in that VMU in case it could cause a save file corruption.
