i'm still trying to remember how whoever-hacked-HG viewed the files. so I'm a little envious right now, lolatoxic said:I think I've located the main menu text in file 179 of 0/0/2 (0x2463d8 to 0x247c80, size = 6312 bytes)

And why do you think this?

Err, I start at position 1, not 0. I mean, 1 is the start of the file. Don't get confused.atoxic said:When I zero out that area, the text in the menu disappears
Neat find. To reproduce it you only need to zero out bytes 3 and 4 of the file(in this particular file, byte 4 is already zero). From what I've examined, those two bytes correspond to the number of sentences stored in the file. I guess this could be confirmed by just lowering byte 3 a few times and seeing if just one option disappears.
EDIT: CONFIRMED:
So, file format so far:
QUOTEPosition 0x1, length 0x2: always "0200"
position 0x3, length 0x2: word with the number of sentences stored in the file
REST UNKOWN AT THE MOMENT

Well, therein lies the first problem: it's encrypted. The encryption is different from DPP and HGSS, so it's going to be tough
I'll try editing different parts to find out where each sentence is, but that's about the most I can do right now. MAYBE I'll get lucky and have a Latin character pop up, but it's guaranteed to not be in the place where I want it.
I found this posted in another thread. Hope it helps!Neobenedict said:

jesus what a messy procedure, but hey I learned something from those drama mamas around the time of HG and SS
but, just by looking at the file and toying with it, it's just LZ77 encryption on the file, lol
decrypting it gives me a .BTAF file which...I have no idea what it is.
Now, that wall of hex from 000050 to 000D50 is something like a table built within the file. Compare it to other text files within the NARC to see if there's similar hex arrangements.
It seems like it's all two-byte lettering, and hopefully this table starts with the alphabet, working its way down to all the Kanji.
Try taking the newpoketext table, and adjusting it to fit this new table.
I'm too sleepy to figure it out right now, I have work tomorrow. But...yeah, hopefully my discovery here's proved helpful somewhat.
