Sands of Destruction (World Destruction) DS - 50% Less Random Encounters Patch

Hi all,

I was reading reviews for the JRPG Sands of Destruction/World Destruction on the DS, and many were complaining about the random encounter rate being annoyingly high. I then played it myself and indeed felt it was too high.

I located the subroutine responsible for RNG w/ random encounters in the game's code, and created a simple patch to globally reduce encounters by 50%.

There's three patches in the zip, each for a different version of the game:

• Sands_of_Destruction_USA_Less_Encounters.ips - for the normal, untouched English release (this is probably the one you want)

• Sands_of_Destruction_USA_UNDUB_ONLY_Less_Encounters.ips - for the Undub version of the English release

• World_Destruction_JP_Less_Encounters.ips - for the original Japanese release
