BSN1194 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Anyway, I just started a new hack, and after I change any text, the game starts glitching right when the text is supposed to be displayed. The weird thing is that if the first change I make to the ROM is the text, then it works, but if I make any change after that, it messes up again. I've hacked before, actually gotten a lot farther this, but this is the first time this has happened. I've tried: -Using a different version of the ROM -Downloading FEditor from different sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Sounds like a checksum issue. I suggest doing this: If anything do this: Open up a clean ROM in FEditor Adv. Save. Close it. Open up your ROM in nightmare. Do your edits. Then fix the checksum. The way to do it if your Hex Editor is HxD is: If you have HxD, open your ROM in Nightmare and do your edits, and then save it. Afterwards, go into HxD, go to the end of the ROM and delete the last 4 bytes. Go to "Analysis", then "Checksums", click "CRC-32" and then "OK"... you'll see the checksum at the bottom of the screen...Write it at the end of the ROM like you would a pointer, replacing the 4 bytes you deleted earlier... For example, if your checksum was "1301A6F4", you would put "F4 A6 01 13" at the end of the ROM... THEN do your text edits. You should probably fix the checksum everytime you use something outside of FEditor to edit your ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSN1194 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks, that worked. So I would need to do that before any edit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks, that worked. So I would need to do that before any edit? Before you edit it with FEditor if you have used other programs... like Nightmare, Event Assembler, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
