Roll-chan No Constancy
Version 3a

This patches IKA's "Rockman No Constancy" to replace Rockman with Roll.
It uses assets from Zynk Oxhyde's "Roll-chan 2" version 2.1.

Patching Instructions
* Patching programs like "Floating IPS" can apply IPS or BPS/Beat patches.
* Some emulators can apply patches in memory at run-time.
* BPS patches are recommended because they have checksums to detect errors and incorrect files.

Patching Order
* 1st: Rockman No Constancy (1.0 or 1.2 or 1.3, normal or hard)
* 2nd: One of the RCNCv3a patches (see below)

Patch Types
* 1-0 is used with Rockman No Constancy 1.0, 1-2 with 1.2, etc.
* "normal" or "hard" means use with that type of Rockman No Constancy.
* "classic" gives classic style Roll. "mm8" gives Mega Man 8 style Roll.

Gameplay Patches (only these have gameplay changes)
* B1-2 is an alternate patch for 1.2. It changes the weapons gained from Heatman and Clashman to behave more like they do in 1.3.
* H1-3 is an alternate patch for 1.3 hard. It reduces invincibility time and starting lives, and increases damage done by many enemies.

"1.0" "1.2" and "1.3" refer to Rockman No Constancy version, NOT Roll-chan No Constancy version. Roll-chan No Constancy's versions are in the form of [number][letter] with no decimal points to make them harder to confuse.

I recommend 1.3 (more polish) or the gameplay patches (more evil).

Rockman No Constancy 1.3
More polished than previous versions. Normal difficulty has small changes that tone down some of the crueler parts. Hard is a lot more merciful than it was in 1.0, but is still a lot harder than 1.0 normal.

Rockman No Constancy 1.2
Has changes to graphics, weapon/item behaviors, and more resembling those in 1.3; but with the level design of 1.0. It has no hard version.

Rockman No Constancy (1.0)
Much older, more primitive version. Normal isn't a lot harder than 1.3, but is more evil in some places. Hard is much harder than in 1.3.

Gameplay Patches
B1.2 (normal only) and H1.3 (hard only) resemble 1.0 in difficulty and 1.3 otherwise. Don't let the extra hit Blocky (pillar of blocks enemy) can take in 1.0 hard compared to H1.3 fool you, H1.3 is also harder than 1.0 hard in some ways.

From the Roll-chan 2 v2.1 readme:
"Zynk doesn't mind others using Roll's sprites on their own hacks; although giving him credit would suffice ::)
You may use Roll as base for your own level hacks, or turn her into Jill Valentine or other female characters..."
