| I was wondering if anyone had done any ASM hacking on Terranigma? More specifically, perhaps found a way of making the font a VWF if possible? A bit more off-topic, but I was looking at it (Terranigma) and I'd like to learn how to hack roms using ASM and other things. I figure the best place to start would be the NES before the SNES, but I'd appreciate any helpful tips anyone can give me to get me started. |

| Ok! I don't know but your best bet would be to contact some translation groups that translated this game. Take a look at http://dorando.emuverse.com for links.  (edited by Ok Impala! on 07-16-05 09:44 AM) |

| If they made a variable width font, they could pack a lot more text in. I played most of the Japanese version and the first parts of the English version and was amazed at how much was left out. A retranslated version would be a lot better than the original -- nothing like those fan retranslations of FFVI which basically say the same thing. | |||

| in theory, you could add a vwf to every snes game as long as you have some free vram space. vwfs are no newbie tasks, though. |

| How do you make VWF anyway? AFAIK you need to make each tile in the text box a separate tile in VRAM, and draw the letters in, is that the right way to do it? | |||

Originally posted by HyperHacker your font in the rom usually has seperate tiles for each letter. this is how my vwf in bof2 works: -reserve one textline (typically 30 2bpp tiles) worth of space in wram. -dma all tiles for that line to vram every nmi -set up tilemap -load letter, draw to that buffer. -keep track of position and width of letter in buffer. -load next letter, shift right by width of last letter(s) -repeat and draw next letter of course, its a lot more complicated than that, but thats how it works in a nutshell.
