6 Letters Available! (Complete!) - Now Doing 7!

[Mauron]

Changing 3FC5C3 to EE and 3FC4EE to AB will get it to display the L (level number) as it does LV (level number), but doesn't change the layout issue.

Maybe there's positioning information we should look for?

[Mauron]

Double post for new information.

3FC7E2 - Set to 01 to get the sixth letter displayed, with the same push down issue as the side menu.

[justin3009]

Ya, I got as far as pushing it down 1 line...I've even repointed the name data to another part of the rom and it STILL freaks out...hmph

[Mauron]

If I had to guess, I'd say something causes it to wrap after a certain length.

How have you tracked down the menu arrangement data you've posted? That might be the next step for this.

[justin3009]

I asked Geiger about the menu data and I went off from there

Yes, but you will have to do some experimenting.  In general, code from bank $02 (which includes the main menu, shops, etc.) uses data from bank $3F.

The data (or at least some of it) that you are looking for should be between 3FB518 and 3FC456.

I'm currently trying to find the data that allows the menu backgrounds to be switched...I'm trying to do something >_>

[Mauron]

Ok, that's what I had started fiddling with earlier. So far what I did was mostly trial and error, which proved quite limiting.

Battle needs some more ASM hacking to work properly, but I haven't found where exactly to start pasting in the code (What Geiger posted earlier should work again, but trying to skip the step didn't work for some reason).

[Vehek]

This is what I've got for the battle menu so far:

It doesn't work so well; if you have a second PC, then the 2nd PC's name will overwrite the sixth letter!

...That is very awkward.

[JLukas]

The o located over C in the picture above is a feature of the Japanese version for displaying certain characters.

[Vehek]

I don't know how well this works, but I set 02F03E to 0C, and...

 

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

WOOOOOOOOOT!

thats some serious progress!

[Mauron]

I don't know how well this works, but I set 02F03E to 0C, and...

 

It looks like it works fine, after changing the V to an L.

I used it as a breakpoint for the save menu and it loads there, but I can't find where it gets the Y value.

[Vehek]

It looks like it starts with the name, at 3FC7DF. The Y value for that is at 3FC485.

[Mauron]

That explains why I couldn't find it. I was looking for E3C7 (Where the level text is), not E0C7. Somewhere Y must be increased by 3 after loading it there.

[Vehek]

There's another pointer to 3FC4ED at 3FC830. I know for sure that this one's used for the tech menu.
