| 1. Game history and getting started |
| |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
In Dragon Quest V, you assume the role of an innocent young boy sailing home with your father, Papas. What seems to be the end of a long journey home, quickly unfolds into a saga spanning three generations. You’ll tame tons of ferocious monsters, choose your bride, and learn your true destiny in one of the most epic entries in the series!
DQ V was first released for the Super Famicom in 1992. It also became the best selling DQ remake when it was released for the Playstation 2 in 2004. Released again on the Nintendo DS in 2008, it also became the first official North American release in February 2009. Not only is DQ V a fan favorite, it is creator Yuji Horii’s favorite too!

| 4. Patching the game |

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This patch is created to work on the original Dragon Quest V game disc image for Playstation 2.
DQ Translations does not support piracy and urges you to purchase the game. We recommend using ImgBurn (www.ImgBurn.com) to create an ISO of your copy of the game. We will not offer support to those attempting to patch the game on any pirated game image rips.

DQ Translations would like to thank all the committed fans that have loved this series despite the unfair treatment it has received in the past.
Just like you, we waited until, "Eh, maybe next year." turned into, "Aw, come on!" After all that hoping, waiting, and even begging the Square Enix representatives on Slime Knights, it’s finally here.
Many of us have spent countless hours working on this project while juggling jobs and school. We hope that the effort we put in will help make this game a memorable experience for you!
Don’t forget to stop by our forums to chat with other members about the translation or the series.
