Yea, I figured that one from reading the "SPC Limit Broken!" but decided not to try it since the problems you and Shinrin have been having don't seem to have been fixed.

While I'm not absolutely sure yet, I think the drum-set data was the last thing causing problems with it.

[justin3009]

I see...Hopefully we can get that resolved so we can throw in the themes that are needed. 

Well I've been thinking somewhat.  Should I start on the translation of dialogue that's listed so far on that site?  I don't have a VWF routine set still because of troubles with the font disappearing.  But, it's set to 07 which should leave enough room even if we expand it.

If not, should I throw an IPS patch of what we have so far?

[justin3009]

- Okay, the VWF is really annoying.  I had it working but the font poofed, and then I had the font show up but it was half showing then started scrolling through itself..but the VWF was in play.  I haven't been able to reproduce it either.

[Vehek]

What kind of problem? Is it something like not having the 4x12 part of the letters?

[justin3009]

Really hard to explain it like...What it did was show the first half of the letters in the sentence, then the bottom half scrolled through and continued doing that until it was at the end of the font itself.  While doing that, it skipped half a line and did it onto the next part, etc etc..  I haven't been able to reproduce this, which is rather annoying considering how close it was.

[justin3009]

I don't know if that's the only different things up there, but I could go thruogh and label every command so we could be more efficient I guess with moving things from Final to Pre-Release.

[justin3009]

Found the enemy name routines I believe.

Final USA: 0CED20
Pre-Release: 0CEA51

This would explain why the names are limited.

[justin3009]

Went back to the Pre-Release a little today after the big news update and wanted to get the VWF going.  I'm a beginner when it comes to doing this kind of thing, but I'm getting it little by little.  Found that 80 03 = 5E 34 which = the area for loading up the hard-coded value for the VWF routine.  I'm trying to see if I can move it to empty space somewhere in the rom but I'm having troubles changing that damn 5E value.  The 03 changes it if you go to like...A3 which makes it 5D or something but that's nowhere near what I'm wanting.

Anywho, here's a list of everything I've labeled for the pre-release so far.  I'm very tempted to start a complete Offsets Guide for this.

Edit:

|====================================================================|
|Pre-Release                          |
|====================================================================|
025D66 - Change to 06 and it'll show the 6th letter in dialogue (Pre-Release).
02EC21 - Change to 06 and you can write the 6th letter...but it won't save (Pre-Release).
02E221 - Change to 06 and it will scroll to 6th letter when naming (Pre-Release).
02E2AA - Change to 06 and it will show the 6th letter in dialogue and you can name it (Pre-Release).
02EC1D - Change to 0C and it'll show 6th letter in Save, Char switch, exchange menus.  But not in Tech (Pre-Release).
023208 - Change to 06 and you can name it the 6th letter AND it will save
*0CE455 - Change to 06 and it'll load 6th letter but won't show (?).  I'm not sure on this..but I think that's what it does. (Pre-Release)
C10406 - Change to 06 to display 6th letter! (In Battle - Pre-Release)
C10428 - Change to 01 02 or 03 so the first letter of the next name doesn't appear above it. (In Battle - Pre-Release)

02B1F9 - Length of Item Names in Item Menu
02EEA7 - Length of Item Names in Main Menu
02BCD2 - Length of Tech Names in Tech Menu
02B9FB - X Coordinates of PCs
02BA0A - Y Coordinates of PCs

0C0A84 - Consumable and Key item data (3 bytes each)   2009.01.30
0C066C - Item secondary stats (6 bytes each)   2009.01.30

025DDA    - "Unknown Routines - For Font/Menu"

PRE $025E34-025E40 (025E38)
025E2F - 80 03, = 5E 34 = The Font VWF routine call...Figure out how to move it to empty space and you got a VWF routine.

and it should be pretty clear on what to do.  The JPN version and Pre uses a hardcoded $0C width value.  The USA version loads the width values from a table at 0260E6-026145.

Since the VWF routines take up more room, you'll need to JSL to some free space somewhere, and also pick a spot of free space for your width table (and update the 3 byte pointer address to match it)

BTW, 7E0235 is the current value of the character to display, and 7E0234 is a width counter for everything displayed on the line up to that point.

I really need to stop double posting, but there's too much up there.  Anywho, more progress on the menu!
