Sorry about the wait.

GeoCities has apparently deleted my website and all of its contents, due to the fact that I was linking to it from my s5.com page. Bunch of ###holes anyway... Well, I'm going to try to post it on my Tripod page (It's not actually mine, it belongs to some friends of the family who had me make a page for them. Anyway, they're only using 1 MB out of the 50 available.) after I fix some bugs Falcon24 pointed out. Give me a while and it will be released.

EDIT: Forget everything I said. I tried doing it without patching the ROM, and the emulator used the patch itself. I'm deleting that (darn) SNESTool.

So what you're saying is, if I patch the ROM with the ips using SNESTool, then I have to take the ips out of the folder if I want to play the game using SNES9x? I guess that makes sense.

I wish I'd known that before I went up against BlueAntiod without first learning PSI Tomato Alpha. Then I coulda PK Hacked the bug to 1 health...

However, I found another evil bug of DEATH. I tried to get one of the Sums, but after the lead Sum told me to put his friend in my pocket, the game froze. A control code problem?

At any rate, I need to finish getting through the mine. About this contact lens problems.... could I just use a normal EB saved game to get past that part?

1. How did you change the text in the opening?

2. How do you pronounce Joe's last name?

BTW, Falc, at what point in the game where you talking to Mr. Spoon(We're talking Denver, right?)? (By the way, he's not a woman, and his name is Mr. Snape. Professor Snape is a character from Harry Potter. If you haven't read the Harry Potter books you must. After all, the Onion said only 4 million children have been turned to the Church of Satan because of them. We've got to increase that number! ) Oh, and I'm not going to tell you where the Video Relaxant is, but... well, just go check the Articles section.

Jonathan and TsuramiSea: It is possible to interchange save files between EarthBound and JonBound, at least with ZSNES.

Oh, and MrRoboto2040:

1. - I used a manual text editor. Watch for updates by Tomato - I'll be releasing a big help file which will include the correct information and programs.

2. - Joe's last name, Scharfenberg, is pronounced:

"shar(as in shark)
fen(as in fence)
berg(as in iceberg)."

The cool thing about JonBound is that many people included in the game are real people I know. All of the main characters, in fact!

3. - You don't want to know.

Oh yeah and I found that glitch with the Sums too but I forgot, sorry

I fixed the miners bug, the museum bug, and I'm working on the sums. I'll be done in no time, as long as my mom doesn't make me do stuff.

I've just fixed the Venus thing and the Dungeon bug.

I was going to put in a random DnD organization URL in the second phone call, and I started checking out things online like "thedungeon.org." (Makes sense, doesn't it?) I looked away for one second and my page was filled with some "XXX Kinky Porn" website, so I gave that up quick.

In any case, it turns out the problem was that there is a "if event flag is set" link at the beginning of the first phone response (So if it's the end of the game, you'll get the second response.) Then I noticed the same link was at the beginning of the second block. So, it linked to the second block, which linked to itself in an infinite loop.

Anyway, I got the Dr. Saturn done. Zivvie is now "collecting user information for a major corporation."

Let's see... I clarified the plot when you play the first few scenes, changed what Charis' mom said, and some other insignificant stuff. Oh yeah, wait until you see the new intro to the final battle. It kicks some serious booty.

Whoo... three edits in one post. I finished all the other stuff I wanted to, and of course, fixed the Cow Spit bug. Or at least I think I did. It's hard to tell without a way to access it - whenever I use the Debug Menu to get there, it works fine.

Anyway, by now I think I've changed everything I wanted to, and I'm sending the new patch to Tomato.

Still, excellent game. I nearly died laughing when I saw Gary the Glucose Fairy coming from the sky...

However, overall, I loved this hack! The sanctuary guardians were fun to fight (when you're watching GiS's death scene and they throw the grenade and the holy-type music plays, it's hilarious), the enemies were varied and interesting (Gramma Gone Postal, hee hee hee), and the various effects that you added really gave the game spice. Oh, and Keeper of the Souls really freaks me out.
