Well, I decided to start a Metal Gear NES hack. So far I changed a few graphics, colors, etc. I was gonna jump into text editing but I have run into a problem. I made a table using the letter values I found in the PPU viewer of FCEUXD. And it should work, here it is for others reference:

A - 81
B - 82
C - 83
D - 84
E - 85
F - 86
G - 87
H - 88
I - 89
J - 8A
K - 8B
L - 8C
M - 8D
N - 8E
O - 8F
P - 90
Q - 91
R - 92
S - 93
T - 94
U - 95
V - 96
W - 97
X - 98
Y - 99
Z - 9A
0 - 70
1 - 71
2 - 72
3 - 73
4 - 74
5 - 75
6 - 76
7 - 77
8 - 78
9 - 79
copyright thing - 80

Anyway, When I do text searches it doesn't come up with a single word, I tried searching for Konami, nothing. I even manually scrolled thru the entire rom in the hex editor. ANyone got any clue on how to fix this?

I always thought it was in the format:

00=A
01=B
.
.
.
FF=!

...

So make sure that your table is formatted properly and try again

I used a table maker, so mistakes like that are not likely. I just have to put the value of Each letter into its box. Then when I'm done I hit generate. I've used it successfully for another NES game before. Being this metal gear is a Konami game could it be that theres some kinda compression or something throwing me off?

Edit: Someone sent me a working MG Table. Im not sure why mine didnt work. Anyway my hack is back on track.
