The wrestlers will have the correct names if you start a brand new save file. It won't rename any wrestlers or promotions if you use an existing save file.
I downloaded a brand new vpw2 rom to do this. Does the whole emulator have to be brand new too since I had played VPW2 before on this emulator it may have had previous data. Is there a way to delete something to start over, like the .fla file in No Mercy for example which keeps all the changes in the game?
You'll need to delete the .sra (Êްì٠ÌßÛÚ½ 2.sra) file in the Save folder and start fresh from there. It's because you have the previous save data loaded that you're not getting the correct names.
I just deleted it and it made the game go super slow and with no sound. Lucky I saved the old one and put it back in. I will try again later, did anyone else have this problem?
So I've not grabbed this yet, is there still the issue of certain gameshark codes not working with the patch? The idea of new moves and move replacements has me super excited.
/But honestly it wasn't bad. Don't be so hard on yourself xD
/and also S.K. is becoming one of my fav members here now cuz of the simple stuff like that ^^^ (and bigger things like this entire thread)
my rom is n64, and it seems that ninja only works with v64 and z64, can I just change the file extension and patch it over there? or I had to find a v64/z64 rom?
It won't work by just renaming the file. The bytes are swapped in a .n64 ROM. You'll need to find a hex editor that will swap bytes around. I think Hex Workshop has the function.
