Hack description

Several patches for the English and German fan translation of "Seiken Densetsu 3"/"Trials of Mana" (a.k.a. "Secret of Mana 2" in Europe, and the US, as it is the successor to the famous SNES Action RPG), and for official game versions.

Each corresponding patch will replace the big and small game title graphics. For more compatibility information and some legal instructions, please read the README.TXT (English) which is also contained in the ZIP archive.

- added Trials of Mana title graphics (standard color palette or adjusted (same as the official Japanese version), corrected one wrongly placed tile x-coordinate for both)
- minor improvements to all other game title graphics
- increased compatibility of all patches

A Timely and Excellent UpdateChicken Knife2019-08-13Version 3.0

I love this title screen hack. The work here has been done superbly well in providing so many great title screen options and providing specialized patches for various ROM configurations. Based on my recently renewed love for the Corlett version in the wake of the Collection release, it is wonderful to apply the Trials of Mana title screen, and in a way that is more stylistically congruent with the Japanese logo.

In this great abundance of options, of course I have to be a pest and ask for one more. I'm curious why no one has ever just translated Seiken Densetsu into English. I'd happen to really like a title that says Legend of the Holy Sword 3. In fact, I'd love something like this for all the Mana games. Getting that many characters to fit with the current logo style would admittedly be a challenge.

Anyway, pestering aside, this is a wonderful hack. And thank you for releasing it in a timely manner with the recent Switch release!

Just to be clear to everyone.Chronosplit2019-08-02Version 3.0

These patches do seem to be compatible with Trials of Mana itself, new translation and all. I always thought the green title stuck out like a sore thumb, so it's a nice cosmetic update to see one styled like the SD3 title screen.
