Anyone know how to hack the background graphics from the game? They appear to be compressed, although it seemed that DeJap inserted some graphics that used the algorithm in a few places (like the title screen.) And anyone know how to hack the map areas? At times it seems like hacking would be ruining a perfect game, but in light of all the "10th anniversary Chrono Trigger" stuff the 10th anniversary of ToP is only 4 months away to the day, so I'm surprised I haven't seen much hacking besides translation and voice-dubbing. (BTW, the voice dub on Zophar crashes the rom, presumably because the data is stored in the wrong places. I could fix that, but the amount of time would be unbelievable due to the way the game stores short samples and swaps them on the fly rather than full voices, with the "flexible voice driver." And speaking of the FVD, it's why ToP and Star Ocean .spc sets have many songs that don't sound right; only the initial samples are stored. A thought for future music hacking in any game would be to implement the FVD and swap instruments in the middle of a few songs...) |

Originally posted by DukeNukem007 great, go ahead then. btw, the top voice dub patch works fine, you just have to apply it to the correct rom. i prefer the original japanese voices, though. (edited by d4s on 08-15-05 07:10 PM) |

Originally posted by FloBo *old bump* http://www.zophar.net/trans/download/topdub999.rar The patch almost immediately crashes "Tales of Phantasia (J) [T-Eng1.2_DeJap].smc," which I'd think would be the version of choice for anyone not ultra-fluent in Japanese. I'm surprised it doesn't just work in any version because I didn't think text patches moved the sounds around. I've opened the IPS in SNESSOR and it sounds poorly synthesized (I dislike voicedubs in general unless it's absolutely needed,) but it might help from the standpoint of hacking. Anyhoo...I'm going to start tearing the ROM apart myself and seeing if I can't find a way to hack the maps or motivate others to do so... 200-FC00 code FC00-10200 a few gfx 10200-21600 probably code 21600-22100 text tables? 57000-B3200 = various forms of junk. Are those tile formations near the start? B3200-1A4B10 = more alternation between compressed/uncompressed gfx 1A4B10-1A6000 = some header table? 1A6000-210200 = graphics both packed/unpacked 210200-280200 = mostly sound effects 280200-2E3000 = junk 2E3000-2F1600 = some gfx both compressed/unpacked + junk. 2F1600-300200 = junk 300200-30C000 = fonts and a little junk on the side... 30C000-310200 = junk... 310200-3F4000 = loads of sound data, with some other stuff (music/sound header data?) in between. 3F4000-3FAB00 = junk then some uncompressed gfx 3FAB00-400200 what IS this? looks like stripes in a tile editor. 400200-420000 mixture of uncompressed & compressed gfx 420000-427000 what IS this? 427000-4A1C00 lots of uncmpsd actor sprites and some (compressed?) junk 4A1C00-4BC000 some uncompressed gfx, what's the other junk? 4BC000-5F0180 = lots of compressed gfx and looks like some tiny sound segments 5F0180-eof = some gfx, both compressed & uncompressed |
