Finding menu text in psx version
« on: 2011-11-08 20:27:08 »
Hi all,
I'm new here and would like to introduce myself: I'm Spooky Kid and i'm busy translating my psx version of ff7 into my home tongue of Afrikaans(google it, you'd be surprised).

Now in conjunction with that i'm also doing the snes version of ff6, so I know a little about hex editing.

What I need to find out is where the menus text are stored(which file) so I can hex edit it.

Also are there any table files available in .txt format anywhere?

thanks allot:)

PS.

In my version Barret is more like cable than Mister T :-D

Hello, you need the CDmage to open the game. Then find the folder Field and extract it. If you are using programs called loveless and Hack7  you can open the Field and you can change the texts of the game.

If with menus you mean the actual options showing in the main menu, it's just under the MENU folder inside MNU files. But if you actually mean the system strings such as spell names, it's all inside KERNEL.BIN. Check the wiki for reference.

Again, check the wiki, the full encoding is there.
