ShinKuma Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Did you try making the changes with the regular nightmare program. I don't think Nightmare 2 supports SNES modules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Nocturne Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 yea i did, it just doesnt play on it when i try and modulate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Are you saving the changes? You need to press your Return key after each change you make, and save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Nocturne Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Are you saving the changes? You need to press your Return key after each change you make, and save. yes im saving it, my problem is that the emulator wont play the game after i modulate it. im wondering if its nightmare thats messing it up of if theres another modulator to use. basically the emulator just black screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Which emulator are you using? Snes9x is normally reliable for FE5 tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Your program might be editing things at the wrong address. There's four different versions of Thracia 776 that I can recall--the V.ROM verion and the N version, and each of these can be headered or unheadered. I don't know if the two version differences have different addresses, but if they do, you need to have the specific whatever for that specific version of your ROM. If you ROM is headered, it has an addition $200 bytes at the beginning of the file, which pushes everything else $200 over. If your modules aren't specificied for the headered version, it's going to assume the data it's looking at is in the right place--not $200 placed down. So you're going to be editing things you don't actually want to. You might be editing code which breaks your game. Hopefully that might help a little--try and find out what version of the ROM your modules are supposed to support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=17597.0 That might help you find out if you have a header or not. I seem to remember most SNES emulators that people use will say whether you have a header or not when the game first boots up. I even think BSNES will remove headers forcibly (it's a SNES emulator that heavily relies on accuracy where ZSNES and Snes9x are a bit "unrealistic" in some of their emulation). But the NP says you have that Nintendo Power version. That's pretty helpful, as the you know if your modules say they only work for the V.ROM, then you can't use those modules :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Did check about the header issue? Also, restart with a fresh ROM and make only one change and see if it still crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
