EarthBound Zero Easy Patch

EB0 by itself is pretty easy, once you figure out some statistics.

Like for example, you want to get past the Graveyard part near the beginning of the game. You would save at the blue man’s house and just get as far in to the graveyard as you can, fight every encounter, and you’ll gain exp. If you die you will return to the blue man’s house, with the same exp! You can use this to keep going through the graveyard until you finally save that girl.

When I first played EB0, it was a nice difficulty curve until the desert.. then I was getting killed by everything there, though the swamp allowed me to catch back up. Though I lost my save of right before the final boss… and never could get myself to play again before this patch. So thank you for releasing this and thus letting me finally finish this game.

Aidan doesen’t have it yet!

Thank god.

I grinded a lot when I played this game lol.

I stopped playing this game because I was sick of how slow the battles ,ade it. Even after hacking my stats it was too annoying, not to mention the insane encounter rate.

Wow, the grind isn’t that hard in the regular version, I’m not half past the game, and Ninten and Loid are close to the 30′s.

Oh thank sweet merciful Mato!
Ever since Ninten couldn’t make it past Wally I stopped playing the game…
Now I think I will again. :3

I thought the game was already kinda easy…save for a few parts when I hadn’t leveled up enough, I got through the game quickly without a patch. I did notice level-grinding was slow, but it worked out OK in the end. As long as you understand how the game works and are willing to spend some (but not too much) time level-grinding, you don’t really need the patch.

note:the easy pacht wont save on me

Does this patch work with MOTHER 1+2?

I beat the game with the easy patch. It was the right difficulty. Now I want to play a version where the EXP and money is TRIPLED.

Honestly, I thought there really wasn’t much grinding in the first place. I don’t need this.

The game itself isn’t hard. It’s just the encounter rate that annoys me.

my emulator wont save my solution was to play MOTHER1+2, the sound is a little crappy but the controls are the best! you wont walk tiles you walk freely much better at this point

This patch makes the game way too easy. The game was already easy enough. Eh, oh well the patch is still good, but makes it too easy. (I’d like to try a hard version!)

Thanks! The original Mother is so… Nintendo hard!

looks cool!:D

I feel somewhat guilty for using the easy patch. I mean it’s still the same game. Maybe I’ll try without it, first. In any case, thank you!

all hail mato

The pacing and difficulty is bad, it should be easier but still feels satisfying and challenging overall.

it definetly doesn’t make the game easy just easier

the only thing I would like to see is a hack that lowers the enemy encounter rate

Help I cant patch it anyone?

THIS GAME IS WAY TOO BEEPING HARD!!!! I can’t even get to the graveyard!

the patch is saved as an adobe thingy on Wafffo’s bad computer
can anyone help Wafffo?

Does anyone know if this patch will trigger the anti piracy measures on the original prototype ROM dump? The one without the zero in the title.

I couldn’t think of anywhere else suitable to put this, so…
THERE IS A GRAPHICAL GLITCH IN MOTHER AND EB ZERO!
Here’s a picture: http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5400/graphicalglitchc.jpg

Those kinds of glitches are common in older games.
