This is a teaser patch for my upcoming release, Temporal Flux. I strongly recommend viewing this patch in ZSNES. The patch should be applied to the US release of Chrono Trigger.

Non-Headered ROM:
http://evilpeer.net/crypt/tftease.zip

Headered ROM:
http://evilpeer.net/crypt/tftease.headered.zip

If you downloaded the ROM from the internet, yours is probably headered. The full release of Temporal Flux will only work with non-headered ROMs.

Screenshots would sort of ruin the point of the patch, so I chose two of the least effective shots I possibly could.

This is the secret project I have made vague references to. I have been working on it for a year and approximately 1500 man-hours.

Barring unforseen circumstances, I will release Temporal Flux on November 24th, 2004. I will not be commenting or answering questions for this until then.

Dear god. If the released hack is as good as the teaser, then this will be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wasn't even aware that Chrono Trigger hacking had become so advanced.

Thanks for the compliment, but please do not inline images from my server. I post screenshots as links for a reason.

That, sir, was orgasmic.

That's about all I can say about it, really. Oh, that and it's odd what happens when you press the arrows in certain parts of the cutsceens.

What the... *watches teaser*

Sorry, I just got excited. Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite games ever and this... this is just orgasmic. You satisfied me already with your SNES tracer (my most important rom hacking tool) but this... you are officially my new daddy

I'm guessing you only put the teaser intro into the ips, because there's nothing else really hacked in the rom, which is smart to keep from prying eyes.

I've been looking around the game though (with help of a savestate I made, and PAR codes) and noticed a few weird things. Mainly the extra slot in the party change screen.

It's Gaspar, but named 'Magus', has 800/0 HP and freezes the game if you put him in your party.

Also, when I go to certain places (Lenne Square, Crono's House, the Cave in 12,000 BC, etc) the intro starts playing again.

But anyways, great hack, I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

Edit: Here's what I mean (ignore the switched names, they were like that):

Wow. I can only stammer out 'I'm impressed' and that's about it. If you've done this much work on a game solo...I don't know what I could say that's better than OMFG! or something around those lines.

I'll be watching for this release...I can assure you that.

Quick question: Will you release any data found when making this, like event data, and how you created that intro like thing so professonally?

My copy of Chrono Trigger is ID'd by GoodSNES as "Chrono Trigger (U) [!]", and the headered IPS patch only works with it. This question may have an obvious answer, but will I need to remove the header from this ROM before I'll be able to play Temporal Flux? I always assumed I had a perfect ROM of my cart. It could also be that I have no idea what Headered or Unheadered means. =P

Chrono Trigger was/is my favourite RPG for the SNES next to FF6. I can't wait for this. Cheers. =)

The screenshots speak for themselves :p but i think i have a problem. The rom image i have (headered) seems fine (played it to death last year), but i can't get the patch to work with it. I tried zsnes auto-patching, lunar ips, tried removing $200 bytes and aplying the other patch... no dice
I don't have a clue what can be wrong. How many versions of CT are there?

That is very odd. My best guess would be that you have an interleaved ROM (the one I started with a year ago was). But I would have thought ZSNES would have been able to apply the patch properly to that. Try de-interleaving your ROM and see if that makes a difference.

Tuesday, I will look into perhaps providing a NINJA format teaser patch. It can (supposedly) handle things like this. I am taking Monday off.

The very latest version of GoodSNES has an option that allows you to strip the header from your ROM, and de-interleave it. Maybe if people have problems, they could just use GoodSNES on the ROM instead.

Ok!

This looks like a ground-breaking ROM hack. I already knew you had a great talent Evil Peer, this one really shows it. Great work.

I only wonder...why will you need a non-header ROM?

Cool Evil Peer, I'll definitely be anticipating it. Just in time for Thanksgiving even. I remember when we had a Super Metroid thanksgiving treat last year from Deskjockey.

thx Dan, deinterleaving seemed to solve my problems.
Awesome hack, it's like a movie trailer :p
I mean, you cracked open those animation scripts. That's a major feat indeed.
You could've tried to put something like "on theaters summer 2005"
