Hack description

This is a quick hack for Shin Megami Tensei that lets you access the automap using the L/R buttons rather than having to open the COMP menu every time you want to see where you are (similarly to how it works in SMT2.)

The patch works on both translated and "vanilla" copies of the ROM, both versions 1.0 and 1.1 (aka Rev 1), as long as the ROM doesn't have a copier header.

Version 1.3 fixes a bug involving the "Mapper" spell when used in conjunction with the automap buttons.

Saved my life	Elechain	2021-11-10	Version 1.3
I'm only joking by the headline, but this is legitimately the most a rom-hack is needed for any retro game. The fact that you'd gave to go through two menus while scrolling in the second one became tedious very quickly, especially for someone like me who opens the map every second in other games. This has literally saved my life in every possible waý. If you want to enjoy the game without feel like ruining the experience, save yourself some time and patch your game with this. You will, for certain, not regret it.

Makes an inconvnienience into something simple.	mrrichard999	2013-04-14	-
The use of a map function by using two buttons vs having to go to a menu every time and select the map, I'll take this over the normal game function anytime :). A must have for anyone playing this game.
