StarTropics is an action-adventure game for the NES that plays something like a cross between The Legend of Zelda and Dragon Quest. Players control American teenager Mike Jones, whose uncle Dr. J has gone missing from his laboratory on C-Island. Mike sets out to find his uncle, taking his ship/submarine on a journey across a tropical island archipelago.

Designed especially for international NES players, StarTropics is notable for being one of the few first-party NES games to never be released in Japan. One of its more innovative features at the time was requiring players to interact with a physical note included in the game box to progress in the story.

This patch converts StarTropics from MMC6 to MMC3. It is only useful for any emulators or flashcarts that still rely on the hash of the ROM to enable MMC6.

This patch is to be applied to a headered ROM (iNES or NES 2.0).

It is also compatible with other patches such as the infamous "StarTropics (Music Fix)" by rainwarrior and the "nesce_mempatches" from rhester72.

Enjoy!
