This translates the Japanese Playstation game Family Diamond (SLPS-03348) to English. Apply the ppf patch to a BIN or IMG CD image with a tool like PPF-O-Matic.

About the game:
One of the simplest Playstation games ever made, Family Diamond would be better know in the USA as Chinese Checkers. For 1 or 2 players, the object of the game is to 'jump over' other pieces so as to move all your pieces to the opposite side of the board as quickly as possible.

In this particular rule set, you can mot move pieces into an opponents 'base areas', and each team has a single 'king' piece. This piece can jump any number of pieces in a strait line, but can not be jumped over by other pieces. To finish the game, the king must end in his specially marked space.

You play against AI opponents, with differing levels of competency, but gameplay continues until everyone is finished. This makes it less frustrating for young children who might losing to an older sibling.

Dedication:
To all the grandparents out there, who like mine, always found the time to play a few rounds of Chinese Checkers when the grandkids visited. Thank you.
