Well, trying to complete my Final Fantasy PSX Collection, I went out and bought Final Fantasy Chronicles.
Well, in the chatroom today, a good old friend of mine (MasteroftheObvious) returned from... someplace... ah anyways, he told me about this file in the Chrono Trigger CD (labeled as "Rom.bin") He told me to save it to my hard drive, rename it "rom.smc" and open it with an SNES Emulator.
So I did... this just answered a lot of my huge questions for the game...
The Rom loaded... and it was the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger... which lead me to believe why the game loaded so slow...
See, in the Japanese version, the Rom contained everything the original game had... this included text.
The US version took awhile to load because it had to load 2 things... The information from the Rom and the translated Text from another file.
As for the game loading the rom.... it doesn't seem to load the rom itself, just the contents of the rom (images, text, etc)
A question came up... why didn't Squaresoft replace the rom with the US rom? Oi... methinks Squaresoft did it again.
