Ghost Manor
Patch v1.0
Release date: 7/28/2008
*********************************************
Original Title: Youkai Yashiki
Original Language: Japanese
*********************************************
Introduction

This is a platformer game. It is based on a maze/platform game
designed by Casio for the MSX.
But from what I've seen of a video of the MSX game, this game
seems to have a more elaborate level design.
(okay, the FDS version has some pretty sinister level design.
I played the first couple levels, then watched some nicovideo
dude beat the game.)

*********************************************
Emulation Status:
 This game should be playable on any emulator supporting FDS games.

 You'll need to find an FDS BIOS ROM, named "disksys.rom", and
 typically placed in the emulator's directory.
 Don't ask for the ROM.

*********************************************
What's done:
 - The title was the only thing to translate.

*********************************************
How to patch:

PROPER ROM:
 - 128KB, with header.

 - Download this zip file.
 - Download the game ROM. (I won't provide this. You find it.)
 - Download Lunar IPS. http://fusoya.cggames.net
 - Open Lunar IPS. Click Apply patch. Pick the ROM and the patch.
    -If that is too difficult, open Lunar IPS, then close it. Do this to associate IPS files with Lunar IPS.
    -Now just double-click the IPS file, and double click the ROM.
*********************************************
How to play:

The object of the game is to collect five flags in each level and defeat the boss.

Controls:
 Up - climb up ladders
 Down - Climb down ladders, enter firepits, activate certain objects
 Left/Right - Walk
 Start - Pause
 Select - View map
 B Button - Shoot
 A Button - Jump

When the game starts up, you will see the intro.
Press Start to skip the intro.
Press Start at the title to begin the game. You will be
prompted to turn the disk to side B. Follow your emulator instructions.

As for life, you have several bottles. When you get hit, if any of your
bottles are filled, you will empty 1/2 a bottle.
If you get hit with all your bottles empty, you will lose a bottle.
If you lose your last bottle, the game is over.
You will have to start the level over.
Shooting the fireball enemies will fill 1/2 a bottle if you're not full.
One thing to watch out for: the distance of your shots seems to be
based on your health. Also, shots will travel farther if you shoot one at
a time rather than rapid-firing.

You will need to find five scrolls to be able to gain access to the boss room.
You can climb ladders to move up and down between screens, but you will just have
to push against the left and right sides of the screen to find out where you
can move.
You will see firepits throughout the levels. Much like Mario's pipes, stand on one
(watch out for fires, as they will damage you) and press Down to warp to another room.
Through out the levels, you will find various objects.
Red grid signs can be shot to reveal powerups.
So can the helmet guys.
The bald guys in the background can function as switches sometimes. Press Down to see if
they do anything.

Powerups:
Money bag - points
Tomato - weapon power up. It lasts until you get hit.
Honeycomb - invincibility, destory enemies just by touching them
Red bottle - increase max life
Candle - recover 1/2 bottle
Scroll - temprary invisibility, does not damage enemies
Riceball - used at certain statues for a health refill?

No distributing the patch with ROM, either pre-patched, or in one zip.
That's wrong.
