Project History:
-----------------

March 27, 2010
  A small readme update, nothing major.

June 6, 2003
  This is the file date that my first table has. So I'm assuming that
  I started the project then.

  Uh, I didn't really keep a history this time around. So I'll just
  say that thanks to shiroi, I was able to finish this. Now, can
  anyone donate a title screen? 'Cause that's all that's left, as far
  as I know! ^^;;

Version History:
-----------------
  Version 1.0,    October 12, 2003 [7,443 bytes]
   Shiny new title screen by BMF54123. Thanks! It's finally done!

  Version 0.99a,  October 11, 2003 [5,031 bytes]
   I uh, wrote a wrong name in one of the endings. Instead of Trevor...
   I wrote Simon. This was in the Simon + Grant Ending. Anyway. Thanks
   to Joseph Tek Fox for the heads up.

  Version 0.99,  October 2, 2003 [5,031 bytes]
   Done. Go. Play. NOW.


What's left:
-----------------
  Nothing, as far as I know. Other than the title.


Game Notes:
-----------------
  Read a Castlevania III FAQ. :P

  There are some gameplay differences, most notably in Grant, who throws his
  dagger by default, unlike CVIII. That and most of the script is different.
  I had to edit some things out. 714 bytes of space wasn't enough by a long
  shot. >_<

Usage License
-----------------
  You may host this patch on your website, provided that you do not charge
  a fee to access it. You may not distribute this patch with any other files,
  such as a website URL or a "Downloaded From" notification, or worse, the game
  ROM image itself.
 
  You may not modify the patch in any way, including using this patch as a
  basis for another translation patch, without my express consent. (There's
  nothing wrong with asking for permission!) I know I can't stop anyone from
  doing this, but I'd prefer it if you asked me so I can provide some data
  files and whatnot. My only request is that you credit the original script
  translators.
 
  Game reproductions using this translation patch ARE allowed, as long as
  there is very little profit involved. So selling copies of this game on eBay
  isn't kosher, but making repros is fine.
