Game Description:
Hoshi wo Miru Hito is a role playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Hack Description:
This is a patch for Hoshi wo Miruhito (meaning Stargazers), an RPG for the NES.

This game uses a password system to save games.
Unfortunately, when you die, you have to re-enter your password to continue the game.
While it may have been fine when the game originally released in 1987, it’s kinda annoying now.

So I made a hack to use SRAM to store the password for you (kinda like the classic Metroid unlockable in Zero Mission).
This will allow you to record three passwords at once. Just choose a save file at the save menu, and at the Continue screen.
Aside from some brief flicker as you move the cursor, this should be fully working.

This will work on a Japanese ROM, though I intend for it to also work on my forthcoming translation hack.
