The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the gba OS and software. If anything, I would say that the save files are the main point of interest here – it’s almost impossible to find a good archive of MOTHER 2 GBA save files, so hopefully this archive solves that problem. There are two components for playing a gba Mother 1 + 2 rom on your PC. Even so, my hope is that these screenshots will be helpful to someone down the road.

As MOTHER 1+2 was never released outside of Japan, there’s no English equivalent to compare it too, so the screenshots in this archive only include Japanese text.Īlthough the GBA release did revise a few lines of text in the game (which I cover in detail in my 430-page EarthBound Legends of Localization book), most of the GBA version’s text remains unchanged from the Super Famicom release. This archive contains save files and screenshots from the MOTHER 2 half of MOTHER 1+2 for the Game Boy Advance. For convenient viewing, most of the images I’ve gathered can be seen on the following 36 pages. I’m sharing these resources with the public, as I’m sure others will find them useful in someway, sometime.

This page features some of the raw, uncurated data and files I’ve assembled for Legends of Localization purposes.
