	SAVESTATES

---------ZIP FILE CONTENTS-
readme.txt - Readme File (this one)
METROID2.stX - X being 0, 1, 2, 3. They're savestates.


---------INTRO-
Thanks for downloading! These Metroid 2 savestates were made for the exploration of Secret Worlds, and they're saved outside of the entrances, but the holes are opened via Select Trick for you! I have recieved requests to make these for a long time, so I finally broke down and played the game through again on my computer to make them.

Through the game, I got five energy tanks and all of the powerups, so it will be easier to get around. Every Metroid except for the queen and her underlings has been killed, so they'll be out of your way.


---------WHAT YOU'LL NEED-
-The Gameboy emulator called "REW."
-The Metroid 2 ROM file. (I will not distribute it!)

What are my reasons for using an emulator named after a VCR button?
1. It supports multiple savestates.
2. It has the most accurate animation and sound.
3. It's fast on a slow Pentium 133 computer like mine.
4. It's very simple to use.
5. The Select Trick was easiest on this emulator. :)

You can download REW from Zophar's Domain, and it's a 110 Kb download. On an average connection, you can download it in under a minute. Here's the address:

---------SETTING UP-
After you install REW, create a folder called "gbsave" unless it already exists. (The program may create the folder itself.) Next, place the four .stX files included in this ZIP file into the "gbsave" folder.

Next, you'll need to rename your Metroid 2 ROM. This is important so that it will match up with the savestates. Simple name it:
"METROID2.GB"
It's important that you capitalize all of it.

Now the installation is complete.


---------PLAYING-
Run REW and open the Metroid 2 ROM file. Next, go up to the "State" at the top. There should be four savestate slots with dates next to them. I arranged them as follows:

0. This is saved at the final save point. Useful if you    wanna beat the game :)
1. This is saved at the opening of Secret World One.
2. This is saved at the opening of Secret World Two.
3. This is saved at the opening of Secret World Three.

After you pass through the holes, the rest is up to you!


---------MISC. INFO-
I will not distribute the Metroid 2 ROM. Distribution of any commercially made ROM files is illegal, and owning ROM files which you do not already own in cartrige form is also illegal.

"REW" was programmed by an unknown author. It can be downloaded from Zophar's Domain at:

I place no copyrights or trademarks of any kind on any of this material. However, I do ask that you let me know before distributing this ZIP file on your own website, and I also ask that you leave it intact.
