The game:

You are one of the brave knights of the Kingdom of Satia.
This kingdom was kept peaceful by Crown of Miracle. Strangely enough, this crown grants a wish once every four years.
One day, just before that day, the crown was stolen by the thief Gratia.
After you heard that, you decided to protect the kingdom of Satia.

Note:

There are may typos, wrong English words and strange Japanese sentences. It strongly recommends to fix them first!

In addition, I'm strongly recommend to modify following lines.

This game was originally for tape, and original string was "CAS:NBS", but we believe that an extension is necessary.
"KISEKI" string should be also included, not only "NBS". I'm assuming that we're managing a huge amount of MSX games' files.
There is another issue that cannot be ignored.

Even if you bought a tougher armor, your armor becomes a weaker one after you save and load the game.
I think it's the most serious issue of this game, and it is probably caused by the line #1290.

My suggestion is following. I don't think that it's the best solution, though.

...Yet another minor issue. Sometimes you can flee from the final boss battle and the graphics becomes glitchy.
Modify the lines #510 and #1520 as below.

By the way, particular attention should be paid when typing lines below.

If you modify the code as described above, each checksum will change as follows (using version 3.1 coded by the "MSX•FAN" team).
kiseki-checksum-jp-version

Sorry if there are any typos, however, I have tested my data, including the ending, and had no problems.

My suggestions for English version:

First, modify following lines. (Sorry I ignored REM strings. You can also delete the line #150.)
kiseki-en-suggestions-part1

Then type following lines.
kiseki-en-suggestions-part2

If you modify the code as described above, each checksum will change as follows (using version 3.1 coded by the "MSX•FAN" team).
kiseki-checksum-English-version

Fully tested...

Secrets:

• Press space holding Esc key at the title screen: Hidden sound test.
• Press "Select" key (or CTRL+"X" keys) at the "The End" screen: Final hidden screen.
However, this final screen uses "Screen 3" mode, so MSXAdvance can't show it correctly.

Joystick support:

"STICK(0)" is found in the line #290.
"STRIG(0)" is found in the lines #220 and #1830. The quickest way is to simply replace each "0" with "1".
In addition, modify following lines.

Now you don't have to press 1~3 keys ,Y, N, Space or Return key any more...except the shop.
It is because I want you to be careful when choosing products at the shop. (MSXAdvance users shall use its virtual keyboard.)
Don't forget to modify the line #60 and delete the line #150, otherwise you will get "Out of memory" error at the shop.
