    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    Those are the two I have been using. I haven't worked out how to make the tile editor useful in workig with text, which may be part of my problem. But for about all I have done, it has been nitro and mad edit.

    ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX menu translation

    I was told to ask this here, instead of the other thread i started, so... How did you get past the problem where replacing a Japanese term/name with an English one didn't cause the surrounding text to display out of order/garbled? Is it because I am using hex editing instead of a tile editor...

    ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX menu translation

    I remember someone mentioning that they could only get the lower case i to work because other lowercase letters would cause problems, well I think I just found a way around that. All I did was replace the font.gp2 in the /pack directory with a renamed font_lvl5.gp2 from the /pack_lvl5...

    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    Will do, numbering my edits to keep track will be just as easy. Tanks or the tip. Update: Oh lord, what have I done? I just extracted the LZSS of the file I have been working on, and now I have no idea what I am looking at. I think I am starting to see why the menu trans patch people stuck to...

    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    I am hoping this isn't breaking any forum rules, but I am using this thread as kind of an online diary of what I am trying, so I can look back as I go and see what I have already tried and what not. I managed to dump the entire Japanese item list from itemname.nat, but it is a non-stop block of...

    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    Progress!! iteminfo.gp2 in the same directory (/prm) handles (at least some) item info within the item display screen where stats and such are shown. I was able to change 剣 to SW (sword) and have it show as the weapon category for sword weapons. Although the font issue means it does overrun a...

    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    Just did a little test this morning, and I can confirm this, the repeating in the same file, and the purpose. I took the entry for "medicinal herb" (won't fir in english that way on screen, but i digress) and found 4 entries of it in the above .nat file. So I changed each instance to 1,2,3 and 4...

    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    Well, after doing a lot of reading and doing a little tinkering, I am starting to get a few things figured out... but like everything else, every question answered leads to 3 more to ask. For example (and I would love anyone who worked on the menu translation patch to chime in here) I found...

    ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX menu translation

    I know this is asking a lot from a forum newbie, but for some reason I picked this game to "get my feet wet" so to speak, so if you could maybe PM me with a few tips on where you found the tables for monster names etc. or maybe a simple tutorial as to how you translated "dracky" in the battle...

    ROM Hack Sorry if I suck at searching (NDS rom file structure)

    So I saw the DQ9 menu translation thread, and it got me interested in the whole process. Not so much hacking a rom, but being able to find and replace the various image files (in DQ9's case, the files for Japanese chars and names). I am reasonably familiar with the hex-editing stuff, but the...
