What's different about the MOTHER 1 translation? Why should I care?įor many (most?) Western fans, the first game in the series is really hard to get into. Visit the project's site for tips and suggestions when playing MOTHER 1, information about the project and some bonus content. With it, you can permanently patch the ROM. If you don't want to use soft-patching or if you can't get it to work, then you can always hard-patch it with progroms such as Lunar IPS. Check your settings and read the documentation that came with your emulator. If it's not working and you're sure your emulator can soft-patch IPS files, then you might have to put the IPS file in a different folder, depending on your settings and what emulator you're using. If all goes well, the translation patch should work automatically. If your emulator can do this, then make sure the IPS file is called mother12.ips and that the ROM is called mother12.gba. Most modern emulators will automatically patch IPS ROMs when you load the ROM. Put this file in the same folder as the IPS patch file. You will need to obtain a ROM of the Japanese version of MOTHER 1+2. MOTHER 1 has been completely retranslated from scratch and features many improvements to make the game more palatable for fans. MOTHER 1 is commonly known as EarthBound Zero, and MOTHER 2 is known as EarthBound This is an unofficial translation of MOTHER 1+2, a compilation of the first two MOTHER games, released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003.
