Hello.

I''ve tried many different hex editors but was unable to find any words in the GBA roms I was trying to hack.

I just want to edit text but no matter what I do i can't find any.

I'm a newb at this but I know what ASCII, ASCII values, text strings, hex, decimal, etc are. I'm still learning.

As a test I was trying to edit the word "NEXT" in 1583 - Naruto RPG - Uketsugareshi Hi no Ishi (J).gba. That's one of the few English words in that game. You see it after every battle.

I found two matches for the word NEXT in a hex editor and chagned them both to capped MMMM (4D 4D 4D 4D) as a test to see if it actually modded the ingame text.

But it didn't.

I even tried looking for the ASCII hex values for the word NEXT both in upper and lower caps without any luck.

Even tried text hacking English GBA roms with no luck.

Now for my questions. Using an Englsih rom Mega Man Battle Network 6 - Cybeast Gregar (E).gba as an example:

1) Is ALL of the text and dialogue in a GBA rom displayed in the ASCII portion of a hex editor?



2) Why are only a few words readable but not the rest of it?

3) Is there any way to convert ASCII of an American rom into straight English?

4) Is there a program that can do it automatically?

Thank you for your time.
