Incomplete but has potentialOld_gamer2023-12-13Version 1.0

Upon using this fast rom, the battles are faster, load quickly and some spell effects like Fire bomb are faster. This was all working well until the Mom bomb fight when the game locked in place. The music keeps playing, but no one will act. You can hit L&R and the run animation goes but that's it. I do appreciate the work done and see that this game is indeed plagued by slow rom and this fast rom can be effective, once it is fixed but in it's current state, I cannot recommend this right now.
