"1" key: Yes.   "2" key: No.    Space: Enter each house / castle / room.   Esc: Restart the game.

Note:

Particular attention should be paid when typing lines below.
• The line #310 and #1330 contain CHR$(176), not CHR$(45).
• The line #1260 and #1280 contain CHR$(180), not CHR$(170).
There is a fatal bug in the game: if you choose "1" at the shoe store with no gold, you can increase your jumping ability for free.
If you repeat this process, you will be able to increase your jumping ability to the maximum.
To avoid this issue, modify the line #540 as below.

For each checksum, please refer to the magazine's page (using version 1.1 coded by the "MSX•FAN" team).
The new checksum of the line #540 is "235". Fully tested and had no problems.

My suggestions for English version:

Modify following lines.

Joystick support:

"STICK(0)" is found in the lines #280 and #890.
"STRIG(0)" is found in the lines #380 and #900.  The quickest way is to simply replace each "0" with "1".
In addition, it recommends to modify the lines as below.

Arrow "down" while the enemy disappears: Raise your power instead of HP.
Space and then arrow "left" or "right": Use a key to destroy the wall.   Esc: Save the game.
Return: To proceed when you save / load the game.

Note:

For each checksum, please refer to the magazine's page (using version 1.0 coded by the "MSX•FAN" team).
For unknown reason, in my data, the checksum of the line #120 is "134" (not "182").
Sorry if there are any typos in the line #120, however, I have tested my data, including the ending, and had no problems.

My suggestions for English version:

Modify following lines. (Sorry I ignored REM strings.)
female-en-suggestions
Fully tested.

Tips:

• There are many places where you can go farther by pressing the diagonal direction of the D-pad without using key(s).
• You need to talk to all the fairies. The next fairy will not always appear on the right side.

Joystick support:

"STICK(0)" is found in the lines #680, #740 and #1080.
"STRIG(0)" is found in the lines #680, #880, #890 and #1050.  The quickest way is to simply replace each "0" with "1".
In addition, it recommends to modify the lines as below.
