Bit of a longshot but i figured ill ask here.
I spent like four hours yesterday trying to edit title screen for my gba game as im finishing an english fan translation
. I'm like 99% done what was started 13 years ago. I just need to modify the title screen options. I dont care to edit the title itself, but i do for the options it has. LZ77 compression obv

All the guides that I find are pretty dated, which makes sense. I don't know if any of you guys also have similar experience and could help.
I've got all the tools I need. I've ripped My title tileset/map offsets and saved the bmp. I did raw dumps. I got the palette offsets for both. I've already created text options on a blank bmp in english to replace the japanese.
But this is as far as I can get anything else and it's not connecting for me. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
This is the guide ive been referencing so far and did well for the most part.
Some of the tools seem to be built specifically for pokemon, and it's not helping with raw dumps of other games etc. And what they have in text is not what they use in their gif examples. So it is harder to follow along. My game also doesnt have as much going on for title screen than theirs.

Basically, the part i'm having trouble with is how i'm going to rearrange these tiles, and then properly swap over to what i've made in photoshop.
If I had pictures, I would show the title map. But alas im working right meow.
But the options for this isn't as simple as just modifying the text, unfortunately its an LZ77 compressed bmp tileset/map.
So it's got the title graphics and the option text all in an image kinda scrambled.
So I would basically need to replace part of it. Image wise rather than text change like you would in rom hacking pokemon gba titles.
