Instructions
============
The image file that the project has been based off of is known in GoodSNES
as "Fire Emblem - Seisen no Keifu (J)" with a CRC32 checksum value of DC0D8CF9.
If a file with a different checksum is used,
various unsupported bugs may occur during play.

If the file contains a header, the file size should be 4,194,816 bytes.
And the patch file you should use is either the "for_headered_rom.ips"
or "for_headered_rom.xdelta".

If the file does not contain a header, the file size should be 4,194,304 bytes.
And the patch file you should use is either the "for_unheadered_rom.ips"
or "for_unheadered_rom.xdelta".

The .ips files can be used with any various IPS patching utilities.
I have personally used Lunar IPS and find that it works very well.

The .xdelta files are for use with the DeltaPatcher utility,
and are provided as an alternative method for patching.

If you are using an emulator that supports "soft-patching", which allows
a file to be modified in memory during run-time but leaves the original
file intact, please follow the instructions that should be included with
that emulator in order to do so.
