Hack description

Custom Robo is a franchise where you get to customize your robos and make them battle each other in various stages. There is story too, but that's not really important. Custom Robo GX is a game for GBA, and because the system is far more limited than N64, GC, and NDS, the developers had to recreate the mechanics of the game. And yet, it was still pretty good, considering the limits they had to work with.

There are numerous "secrets" in the game that can be unlocked if you connect to the J version of Custom Robo Battle Revolution (GameCube). Rising Chimera fight is one of those secrets.

However, pulling that off now is pretty much impossible for most people, so things were changed around, so that Rising Chimera fight can be unlocked through Lady P's password. The password is "ライジング" for the J version, or "Rising" for the hmsong's English patch version.

And yes, there are 2 patches -- one for the original J version, and one for the hmsong's English version.

There is some sort of "bug" though -- once unlocked, then even if you don't save, Rising Chimera fight will still be unlocked. The guess is that it has something to do with "being connected to GC" or something.

BIG thanks goes to Thunderdisk. He's the one who figured out all the mechanics and taught hmsong that. Hmsong could not have done this without him.

If you have any questions, suggestions, requests, or anything else, please PM hmsong on Romhacking.net (click the name, then click the name next to "Forum Account", then click "Send PM").

Applying Notes:

- There are 2 patches: (J) patch, and (Eng) patch. Apply the (J) patch on the vanilla Japanese ROM, or apply the (Eng) patch AFTER applying hmsong's English translation patch first. If there is a translation patch other than hmsong's English patch, then please let hmsong know, and he will check for compatibility.
- This is compatible with all other patches by hmsong, including his English translation patch (apply the English translation patch first).
