I'm not very good with hex editors and my Final Fantasy hack needs someone to hex it...here are the things i am looking for

1) better background for begining pages (so the new classes wont blend in)
2) Heros can have 5 characters in name (5 letters)
3) new text in begining pages (if you can think of somthing good cause i can't)

thats all i can think of right now..but im sure i will think of more..if anyone is willing to help out i will give credit to you when i publish the rom. thank you

They're not difficult.

Open a rom in a hex editor. You see a bunch of hex numbers, like 00 and FF and anything in between.

You move the cursor over one of these numbers and type in the change. Like changing a 00 into a 10.

Whoosh!

You just used a hex editor.

using a hex editor is easy... knowing what to type into the hex editor is the tough part

Ever use a gameshark? If not, go buy one and attempt to make your own codes with one, this will lead you into having to learn hexadecimal

doesn't that seem a bit too much of a round-a-bout way of doing it? why not just grab one of the thousands of documents explaning in simple terms the base 16 numbering system?

but whatever d00d


...an maybe someone can create a patch for the 5 letter thing...but then again, maybe not. maybe if people can't take the time to learn a new numbering system...they shouldn't be hacking? :\
