Hi. I'm not really new to hacking as far as NES games, but i've decided to try to hack a Genesis game. It's a game called Kid Chameleon, and as far as gameplay, is like Mario, but better (IMO).

I was looking into something small first, no level editors, just going through the rom and seeing what does what, and where. I'd like whomever likes this game, or someone who has time on their hands who'd like to give it a shot, to go through with me and find various things. Whatever we find we can post here and or the new Datacrystal Wiki that just opened. I sure hope I can find a few people willing to help out. To start, here's the introduction text I found at the following offsets:

That text format is called ASCII, the same thing you use in notepad.

That's straight ASCII there. There's no table needed.
I remember someone posted some stuff about Kid Chameleon a long long time ago on Zophar's, but i couldn't find it again. Sorry.

Well, for me, I enjoyed playing Kid Chameleon, and I'll gladly search Google for any Kid Chameleon editors. ASCII is harder than it looks.

I searched, there are no editors i've heard of, that's why I wanted to assemble a team to try and make it.

Didn't know that was ascii though, I got that straight from Transhexlation. 0_o
