It seems that my translation project has spawned dozens of newbs who wish to learn how to translate ROMs. This isn't something that you can learn in a day...or even a week.
To learn how to translate, you must first learn how to hack. There are two great sites on that subject and both of them are run by an expert in the field. First off there's www.romhacks.net the site for beginners. They list several step-by-step tutorials to teach you basic methods of replacing text, images and more. After you've studied everything you can on that site it's time to learn some advanced techniques. That's were www.romhacking.net comes into play. They offer advanced tutorial and utilities.
If you'd rather have something you could print off and read from, then FAST6191 has you covered. He's released a tutorial called "ROM Hacking 101" to all of those who wish to learn the basics. FAST has plenty of experience in ROM hacking and his tutorial is great for newbs and vets alike. You can grab it from here. You'll need Adobe Reader to open the file, so grab that if you don't already have it.
Those sites and tutorials will teach you almost everything neccessary to perform a simple translation. Learn, study, translate and then post your work here so everybody can enjoy it.
