It‘s been a while since I‘ve fully played the original Earthbound but I don‘t remember poison being that annoying in the original
First the patch here (https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=19136&c=254478) . The main reason because this is a bsp file and the original one from the main site is a ebp file (Earthbound patcher) which requires you to download and use Earthbound patcher which you can’t do on IPAD.
Second go here (https://hack64.net/tools/patcher.php). Main problem is that the marcrobledo JS patcher doesn’t work on IOS (Being like that for a while, people have reported it and also Marcro has said he doesn’t really use IPhone IPAD etc.) He’s working on it and trying his best to solve the problem, so for now use the link above if you are using IOS.
Lastly just load the content if you are using RetroArch, and find the file you patched, don’t scan cause it won’t find it. (Best changing the name of the patched to make it easier to find and use).
@YOZORA713, I used Mesen-S in RALibRetro. No issues to report.
~2 1/2 hours to master
Completed for Merry Achievemas 2024
A small Christmas themed Earthbound hack. The conversations and comedy between NPCs are amusing and fitting for Earthbound, so it's worth speaking with everyone. The set overall isn't difficult to complete, so it's a set where you can simply enjoy the game while complete the challenges. Just mind your levels for the enemy challenges.
Neat little hack. The dialogue and humor are spot on with the original game.
Man, this game hit me right in the feels. I’m not usually into RPGs with a ton of reading, but Holiday Hex has so much love and effort packed into it that it’s hard not to enjoy.
The pacing’s pretty fair—nothing too crazy—but yeah, there’s some grinding here and there. The last grind session was kinda rough, not gonna lie, but overall, it didn’t kill the vibe. The story’s super chill, and it’s the kind of game you can play while sipping on coffee or just enjoying a cozy couch Sunday with my wife, half-watching something on the TV. Plus, the visuals? Chef’s kiss.
Loved the game, loved the achievement set. Big thanks to everyone who made this little gem happen! 🎅🎄🎮✨
I hope we get more sets for EB hacks
Christmas Event.
I haven't played Earthbound itself yet, so I kinda fumbled through this. Luckily, it was pretty easy. I feel like I definitely missed something regarding money, but oh well.
Can't say much about the quality of the hack in contrast to the actual game of course, but it is a small Christmas story, nothing wrong here.
Set seems fine. Not a huge fan of the limitations on the fights, but they still weren't hard or anything. I was worried I'd hit 20 before reaching Vorpal, but then Omega was basically done right after, so it was 20 for both, I think.
I'm the 321st person to master this
This was a cute little hack. I played it for the Christmas event and it was an absolute delight! Still need to actually finish Earthbound though. Have never made it out of Onett. That might be a goal of mine for 2025. Happy hunting everyone :3
