Welcome to the International Superstar Soccer Deluxe (ISSD) Editor for Sega Genesis!

How to Use the Editor Using ISSDitor is simple! Follow these steps:

1. Open a ROM File - Navigate to “File” “Open” to load a ROM of the game. The utility supports both American and European versions of ISSD. - Once the ROM is loaded, the first team and the skills of the first player will automatically appear.

2. Edit Player Names - In the “Players” section, you can modify player names using the provided text fields. - The system automatically adjusts names when you exit the text field, shortening them to 8 characters and removing invalid characters.

Customize Player Skills and Appearance - Use the “Skills” section to edit the appearance and abilities of players. - The Copy 1 and Copy 2 buttons let you temporarily save all “Skills” settings for a player, which you can later paste using Paste 1 or Paste 2. This is especially useful for transferring players between teams or swapping their positions.

Antidote v1.5

11 January 2025 1:59PM EST - Update by wakkoswami

ROM Hacks - PSX

Antidote

  • Antidote is a rebalancing hack that attempts to give a viable use or value to as many aspects of FFT as possible while making few nerfs or flashy changes, so you still feel like you’re playing the same FFT, just with more options available. Both for you, and your AI adversaries.
  • Difficulty starts out about the same as the original game, but increases steadily as you progress. Most enemies have higher job levels with more abilities, secondary skillsets that they are proficient with, and/or slightly better equipment.
  • If the original release were to be thought of like a “Beginner” difficulty for new players, then this hack could be considered an “Intermediate” difficulty, capable of keeping an experienced player on their toes while still being beatable for those less skilled.
  • Antidote is built off of the Convenience version of my FFT: Prime hack (https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4611) and includes everything listed there.

Changes:

There are many, many changes covering the following categories:

  • Ability Changes
  • Item Changes
  • Job Changes
  • Job Leveling Changes
  • Skillset Changes
  • Battle Changes
  • ASM Hacks from others

Check the readme to see a more detailed list with additional changes.
