Hack description

A simple hack that makes it so Frog can hold his own against the rest of the Chrono Trigger cast (excluding Marle) towards the end of the game.

Changes -

Version A & B:

The Hero Medal now gives Frog's Masamune a 100% critical hit rate (changed from 50%)

The Masamune (upgraded form) has been given Crono's Shiva Edge 4x critical hit damage property

Changed the item descriptions to reflect changes, and fixed the Bravesword's description as well which erroneously has 2x damage vs magical enemies when it actually has no special property.

Version B only:

Removes the 4x critical hit damage property from Crono's Shiva Edge and boosts its critical hit rate from 7% to 20% to match the Kali Blade in an attempt to make the new Masamune feel a little more unique. Changes the item description as well.

Apply this patch to a headerless Chrono Trigger US rom.

I have tried patching this using a few different utilities, none of which worked. I have tried using several variants of the rom, including ripping a new one from the cart. FLIPS states the patch is invalid and cannot be used. I have tired A alone, B alone, A on top of B, etc. Great idea though - would love to try this patch someday.
