Posted on 12-11-06 02:16 AM, in Approval Request Link
Hello, I guess I'm supposed to tell you about myself to get approval.

So, I'm Spikeman and I have a bit of experience in ROM hacking. I started off hacking Final Fantasy I and other NES games to get graphics and text hacking down, then I moved on to the GBA. My current project is translating Rockman.EXE 4.5 to English. So far, I've hacked a bit of the graphics, inserted an English font, adjusted the VWF for my custom font, coded a partial script dumper (needs a lot of work), and implemented several ASM hacks to put DTE in the game. I haven't actually translated much yet, the only part fully translated is the battlechips, to make battles playable.

Hope that's enough.

Edit: Here's some screens of my project.

I'm not an expert at NES hacking, but from what I see you only are using three colors. I know Megaman somehow got around this, could you do that and make Toad have a black outline, but with red spots? It's looking nice so far!

Ok thanks for the stuff but I have one problem. I cannot run Thingy since i have Windows XP. Therefore, my question is "How do I run Thingy v 0.98 on XP".

--EDIT--
Ok I found Thingy32 a port of Thingy (DOS) for Windows.

In addition, I am now able to hack text for NES games.
I do not want to create a other thread for nothing so I post my questions here. My real goal is to translate games that are not release in the US/Canada. I am able to modify text from Nintendo Entertainment System game like Dragon Warrior 1.But my problem is how do I switch Japanese symbols to English letters since Japanese symbols = sylable/2 or 3 letters. Therefore, that is my question.

If any one has a Japanese to English chart I would gladly appreciate.


Thingy is REALLY outdated you should use a hex editor with table support, such as Translhextion or WindHex32.

Looks nice, I'm wondering what the ASM hack is though. Is it that weird teleport thing that happens at the end?

Posted on 02-02-07 08:16 AM, in A bit of help with THUMB and jumps? Link
This is generally how I do it:

ldr r0,[jump]
mov lr,pc
bx r0
b return
jump
@dcd 0x8F00000|1 ; ORing 1 keeps it in THUMB, this is somewhere at the end of the ROM
return

It's a little different if you need to preserve lr, or don't have a free register, and even harder if you don't have enough space (for example, the routine you want to jump from only has like two instructions and code jumps into it at different places).

Since you can't pop lr, you should do something like this:

push {lr}
ldr r0,[jump]
mov lr,pc
bx r0
b return
jump
@dcd 0x8F00000|1 ; ORing 1 keeps it in THUMB, this is somewhere at the end of the ROM
return
pop r0,lr
mov lr,r0

If I find a security vulnerability should I PM it to you?
