I was just wondering if those people involved in making translations, save editors or any other sort of game related hacks would be willing to share a bit of insight on how they did what they did.
The only worthwhile game hack I've ever done is hex editing Chrono Trigger to make a hex>text table file and other modifications to that game, as in manually without tools only referencing hacking docs. I used some stuff like Hexpose, but nothing specifically for CT.
I find thats one big problem with hacking these days. There are just less and less documents out there. Sure there are still loads of hacks but guides (like the Cracker's trainer guide) and other documentation on the subject is scant. Either that or I'm just looking in all the wrong places.
A bit of demonstration as to how you guys find specific types of data in DS games WITHOUT specialist tools would be really neat as being reliant on these tools means that more worthwhile projects are going to be out of our reach for the most part.
If there is some magic cache of ROM hacking goodness I'm not aware of please fill me in, but otherwise some new content would be great. I'm specifically interested in making a save editor.
