Dreamcast Skyes of Arcadia - less battles (hack)

[richterw]

A romhack by Fafadou. Hold B while walking around enemy infested zones to have less battles than usual. https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/foru...sid=bb1253c1bab3feb947b2b8096619fc5e&start=10

If your able to make that hack, that would be amazing.

I think I'm going to go talk to fafadou and ask him, because other people in that forum said they had the patches, and im still confused about exactly which patches the pal undub had. I'll say one thing though when I heard how awesome the voices were during the fight scenes I was immediately sold on the undub. I don't know why but yelling sounds better in Japanese.

This is an interesting hack but I found a list of them on a page and I would like to apply all of these to the same ISO if possible. This is the list.

VGA

Uncensored

item drop rate to 2x

While pressing the B button, you will not be encumbered.

Secrets still visible

Pole climb up speed *8

Vyse speed as faster as PAL

encounter rate(increased by walking) / 2

Battle Result Exp,MagicExp,Gold 4X,2X

Piano music disc 1 during title screen

This is the page that I found these links on and it has a very good pal ISO that is an undub and is also 60 Hz so it's compatible with VGA and various flashcarts I think. The only problem is I want to apply all these other patches but I can't find the patches and don't know where they are. But here is the link anyway:

https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13423

If anyone can find these patches please let me know so that I can build an ultimate ISO. I tried the gamecube version but immediately got mad and deleted it after it switched to Alfonso in the intro and the speed was cut to less than half. Dolphin really needs to fix the shader issues.

One last thing, these patches may already be applied to the pal iso from that page. Its just not clear to me if they already are or not. Im going to keep messing with it to see if they are already applied.

I found a hack on some random forum (gba temp maybe? I don't remember) Of a hack for this game that combines the uncensored hack with a 1/2 encounter rate hack.

I think what you're reffering to may be this build, but it's been a while since i've read the whole forum. I'm mostly sure the guy used the uncensored version as a basis for the patch.

needs 'hold B to speed up combat intros and spell/special attack animations'

Your gonna have to emulate for that. Set fast forward to a button in your emulator.

Also awesome hack.

This would be amazing, especially if it ups the experience rate to compensate.
