Hack description

This is a basic patch that will increase the amount of Experience Points and Zenny (the currency of the game) gained by defeating monsters.

It works with both the original game, and with Ryusui's Retranslation, but if you're interested on using it with it, you need first to have an SRAM file with the initial check made correctly. Simple as running the game after applying the retranslation so it creates a save file after performing the check, and then patching the ROM with this.

This initial, simple patch became the basis for a much bigger project by the same author, that attempts to streamline and improve the game in a number of areas to make it shine as he thought it deserves, also uploaded here:

Helps Reduce the Grind	FlamePurge	2022-03-03	Version 1.0
I've been using this since 2015. It makes BoFII a lot more bearable. The game asks players to stop and grind in order to smoothly carry on, but this lets you move on without needing to screech progress to a halt. It strikes the right balance, too; after grinding to LV 6 at the healing spring in Mt. Fubi, I moved on, saved Suzy, and returned to Hometown. Ryu and Bow were LV 8, and I had 1034 zenny. Definitely the boost I needed to get to Coursair. Especially recommended for those who liked the increased EXP and zenny rewards in the GBA version, this is for you, too.

A bit of an over correction	blinkthief	2022-02-20	Version 1.0
I walked straight out of the first town, through the mountain, killed the cockroaches and walked back. By that time I was at level 27 and had like 35,000 zenny. It made the game so easy it was unplayable.
