| 1. Introduction |
 -----------------
 
SaGa 3 simply put, is a fantastic game.  It is truly an
exceptional game that deserved to have an offical translation.
But since that didn't and won't happen, that's where we come in.
Countless hours were spent to give some gamers a chance to
re-live a game from the past, and others a first try.  We hope
you enjoy our work and that we did a good job at giving you
the best experience possible.

| 3. Patch Instructions |
 -----------------------
 
To get started you'll need an unmodifed Japanese version of
SaGa 3.  How you obtain that is up to you.  Ideally it's 
from a ROM that you dumped yourself from an imported 
cartridge that you paid for.  To ensure that the patch will
work you can verify the CRC of the original and patched 
versions of the rom.  CRC32 can be downloaded here:

CRC values:
 
Original Unmodified ROM: ADADA633
English Patch v0.2.612   597A986D
Beta 1.0.780		 D462C473
Beta 2.0.827		 F184D34C
Beta 2.0.830		 2AF5AF5A
 
To patch the ROM, simply run the xdeltaUI.exe application
included in the zip file.  For the patch choose 
saga3eng_v0.2_r612.xdelta.  For the source file select your
umodified rom.  The output file should be the name of the 
patched rom you wish to create.  Finally click on the patch
button. Once the patch has been applied you can run CRC32 on 
the patched rom ensure your CRC value matches the one above.

| 4. Submitting Bugs |
 --------------------

Bugs can be submitted on the project forum.  Before you can
post a bug you'll need to register.  Also be sure to check
existing bug threads so the same bug doesn't get posted
more than once.  When submitting a bug, please include as
much information as you can, and if possible a screen shot
if using an emulator or a clear picture of both screens
with a digital camera.  The more information we have the
easier it will be to find and correct the bug.
