Have you learnt the basic? There's NO SHORTCUT to be a rom hacker and a rom hacker must have PATIENCE. The documents aren't outdated, they gave simple explanation so beginners can understand, they used NES rom so beginners can practice from easy rom.Czernobog said:Could anyone point me in the right direction as to the information and tools I would need to do such a task?
You asked for information and tools. That site has a lot of information, and the documents suggest some tools, the site also has a lot of tools.
QUOTE(Czernobog @ Jun 27 2009, 08:42 PM) Is there any steadfast rule as to how one can obtain the table containing the ingame text? Or is it a case-by-case situation? Thank you for the link, by the way. It offers a good introduction to the concepts used in ROM hacking, but it seems to be a bit outdated.

Edit - Also, would the lessons learned through editing text data in an NES ROM translate to the ability to hack an NDS ROM? I understand that they use different machine language, would this obfuscate the issue?
