Hack description

Say goodbye to navigating several menus only to find that guy in front of you just farted. This patch brings more modern controls to an snes classic!

Changes:

The A button now interacts with anything in front of you.

The X button now opens the menu.

The Y button now opens the map.

Attempting to interact with the uninteractable no longer produces a "No problem here." message.

References to the map button have been changed where appropriate.

Comes in both headered and unheadered flavours and does not require an expanded rom.

Now, if only somone would do this for DQ V!	fw4210	2019-11-15	Version 1.0
This simple, but very effective hack, takes the game from a slow and clunky affair when exploring the world. To something far more smooth, akin to Final Fantasy games on the SNES. Now, if only someone would do this for Dragon Quest V.

Making a great game even better.	moerupolice	2014-08-23	-
What this does is it makes the controls of EarthBound not stupid. It's one of my all-time favorite RPGs, but the controls were always really bad. The need to load up menus on a constant basis could be tedious in the least. The "no problem here" dialogue wasted a lot of time. The changes in these controls have really improved things. Now, if I want to search, or talk, or anything, I can just walk up and press "A". These controls make it feel almost like it's a different game. Awesome, awesome patch.
