Secret of Mana Plus 2.03 released
Since release of secret of Mana Plus v2, I’ve been correcting small issues here and there. I’ll keep fixing bugs regularly if more are found.
2.01: Empty equipment menus will no longer display for helmets/body armor/rings.
2.02: Fixed Neko’s GP window in Ice Country. Fixed 2 soldiers missing in a new cutscene of the Empire.
2.03: Fixed an issue that could steal a sword orb from you. Minor fix on a custom map.
You’ll find the updated version here: Secret of Mana Plus on RomHackPlaza.org
Guys, you are amazing. Secret of Mana is a great game and I loved it as a 10 year old. 30 years later, I still play the game once a year. You can just tell that 40% of the content was cut back then. You fill the gap! What a great gift to the community! Please keep it up!
Thanks! Very glad if this year playthrough is with Secret of Mana Plus, have fun!
I would like to support this project do you have a patreon! I’m curious how hard would it be to add in an exp bar to the UI and/or as well as have enemies display “+12 exp” when they die?
We don’t have a patreon yet. We’ll look into some way to support the project soon.
Experience display could be a nice quality of life improvement, rather than entering the menu.Though I don’t think I’d be able to do it. Colmines92 made a lua script for the emulator Mesen2, it displays experience and money after defeating enemies: https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=38152.msg452289#msg452289
It can be nice if you play on PC.
This is amazing! I lub how connected you are with the community! I will be telling my brother about the page, and I’ll ask him the support and back you are well then this avenue becomes an option.
Will the hack you recommended work bug free with Plus 2.03?
Just started my first play through with SoM Hack, very excited! happy i could join in on 2.03!
Not sure how hard this would be, but I would love to see some UI work, showing player current exp/Required (23/98) and maybe even display “+14xp” where monsters die, would really bring the game into a new age, giving that sort of visual feed back.
I don’t think I have the skills yet for making a good experience display.
You can check out this lua script by Colmines92 for the emulator Mesen2: https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=38152.msg452289#msg452289
I tested it on the first version of Plus, it worked well.
Have a nice play through!
Appologies i replied to the last comment then saw this! thank you very much!
I’m having issues running this on both Mesen and SNES9x…the game says it loads, but it’s just a black screen. I load another ROM and it’s fine. Would love to figure out what’s going on so I can try this out!
You want to use a base game rom that hasn’t a header, if it does the resulting rom won’t work.
Or maybe not the right version of the game?
