That just makes it that much more special.    I used to love finding typos in games back when I was a teen.  Its surprising just how many there are.  Errors in packaging as well.  Such as the rear insert of Loom.  The captions for the dragon and the typhoon  are under the wrong pics.  Love that kinda stuff!

Existence is misspelled.

Well, dang it. Must of missed that one :oops:

Did the manual ever end up getting translated?

[GohanX]

Awesome! <3 <3 <3

[Burnt Lasagna]

Did the manual ever end up getting translated?

As of now, no.

[Sadler]

Ah well, this is still awesome beyond all reason! Thanks getting this done!

While it's impressive, technically speaking, that Tom was able to change the title screen and disable the code that draws the 'X', I was surprised that you guys chose to eliminate it - too hard to have worked it into the new title screen or this was entirely intentional? I was like, "Wait, huh, what happened to the 'X' being slash drawn along with the sound effects to it?"

[Burnt Lasagna]

Yes, I chose to remove the X in the title screen.
I chose to do this in order to keep continuity between Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night's English localization (Symphony of the Night is a sequel to Rondo of Blood). In Japanese Both games had an X in the title.

Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo
Akumajō Dracula X: Gekka no Yasōkyoku 

The X was removed in Symphony of the Night when brought over seas, so it makes since to also remove it in Rondo of Blood as well.

Besides, Konami has already given Rondo of Blood an official English name in the states, which is Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, and if we where keep the X it would just cause unnecessary confusion. 
 
Sure, the X was neat, but I think keeping continuity is more important.

Who wants to play guinea pig with a typo fix?:

Thanks cubanraul!

Got to love that sexy E

The stupid thing is I just got this patch hosted on rom hacking.net. Guess I'll have to resubmit it. 

[NightWolve]

Yup, it's fixed!

@cubanraul: Heya BTW! I made the connection that it was you from years ago that had originally started the project. Didn't know you were on this board! Has it really been ~8 years since the project began? I just read the ReadMe and was reminded of that history, back when you came to me for help, man, I guess I did also encourage you, but at the same time, I thought it was technically a waste of time, would likely never get anywhere, nobody would ever be able to (nor want to) do a font-hack for the opening text, etc. yet here we were are today with essentially a fully completed patch (of course, in large part thanks to Konami!!)! Wish I hadn't played this game so much to where I'm pretty sick of it, though the patch did motivate me to play it through one more time at 68%. I didn't save Maria on that run, but I'll try again at some point. Anyway, congrats!

Minor note: I'd say David Shadoff should technically get a spot in the Credits section for the ADPCM tools. If AstroBlue is gonna get credit for an ASCII logo, I think he deserves it too.

Yeah I just realized that I forgot to re-credit him in this readme (credited him in the last readme).
I'll be making a new revision of the readme soon that includes a couple of other people I forgot to mention.
