You can easily find whatever text you want in SMW using e.g. the w00t SearchR2 by I believe it was J3d!, not DeJap Translations (old but still good) and looking f.i. for "P0L0A0Y0E0R", note that SearchR2 uses '0' as a wildcard.
Have fun

What about using .INI files so people can add their own addresses and edit ANY text in the game? |

Actually, the text found on the menu uses a special font that only uses the characters you see. You can see most of the letters in (I think) Gfx2A and the rest are spread through the surrounding Gfx files. Translating it would be tricky, but not impossible. |

It would be best to ask someone that has translated it. I haven't looked for most of those myself. Although I seem to remember seeing the title screen menu text one time, when I had the OV editor load uncompressed data from the ROM by accident (probably uses standard tile map data, which is why it showed up  ).
I did find the text at the end of the game just after beating bowser for someone though. I know I've posted this before somewhere, but I'll just copy and paste from my email:
Anyway, you'll find the text at 0x1D726. The letters are 4 bytes away from each
other. Just add 0x80 to the tile number to get the values to use (for example,
"a" is 0x08+0x80=0x88). The font itself is in GFX file 0x0D, although you
probably already knew that.
After taking a closer look at the ASM trace, I noticed there's a table at
0x1B05B of 1-byte entries that hold the values of how long to delay displaying
each tile. Modifying that should be pretty easy.

I hope Fusoya come here and read this... |

OK Impala! did a translation of SMW in Netherlands and posted a thread about it.
I think the message of Toadstool is treated as GFX inside the ROM and simply not accessible using the standard way using a .tbl file and a hex editor, but I'm not sure.
You simply could ask or PM FuSoYa for that ... he knows it for sure |

I'm working on a translation of SMW. It's coming along quite nicely, but I've done just about everything I could figure out how to do. Now I need some help.
When you're starting the game, you see messages like "1 PLAYER GAME" and "EMPTY" and "ERASE DATA". How do I go about changing these things? I tried using a hex editor, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to find where the text is at. I used the following hex values to try to find where some of these bits of text are located:
2C=B 6F=P 76=M
2D=C 70=L
2F=T 71=A
30=N 72=Y
31=S 73=E
6D=1 74=R
6E=2 75=G
Maybe I'm using the wrong hex, or maybe the text is encrypted or something. I don't know; it's crazy. Hopefully someone can help me.
Another, possibly related question I had:
How do I change the "CONTINUE AND SAVE" and "CONTINUE WITHOUT SAVE" messages? And also the options "CONTINUE" and "END" you get when you lose your last life?
If you're curious, I put up a ZIP file that contains an IPS patch and a text file listing all the things that have not been translated yet: www.geocities.com/tokipona/janMawijo.zip |
