Sorry, this is getting all 'technical'. And, having an IQ over -10, I'm going to have to leave. You don't know what's technical. Take a look here.

So that's how they did... well. You could take a common character's name and toy with it. It may take forever, but at least you could have a table syllabe-hexadecimal equivalent by the end. Or maybe not, if those translators screwed the original work too much. The format is a little weird though. For instance, let's assume Sophia's name is 01 10 20 If 10 is changed to 20, it might say something like Soiaia. If 10 is changed to 11, it will end up saying something like Sgehs g. In fact, it's been so unpredictable that sort of got lazy and didn't record anything.

I have just one question, and please don't chew me out for knowing nothing on the subject. Is this hacked game considered a ROM.

The boss is the berserker.... Sorry, this is getting all 'technical'. And, having an IQ over -10, I'm going to have to leave. Dude, I got an IQ of 122 (according to Emode) and I'm getting confused. I definately want this patch.

Do you mean that, if you change the middle byte, the outcome of the third may also change? So, they did screw the original work... that's really a pity. But, hey, maybe some values weren't meant to be used, and when they are, they screwed what came after them. Anyway, at least theorically, you could try Sonia's "So" as beginning, no? Dude, I got an IQ of 122 (according to Emode) and I'm getting confused. I definately want this patch. It's more a question of training and habit than of IQ. I also got confused with this easily, until Twilkitri introduced me to a hex editor and I saw its wonders.

I did use Sonia's So as a beginning. Now I'm trying to figure out the ph. By the way, TheEnd, Parles-tu français?

Emode talks bollock dood, it says i have 147 and i'm still not good with this kinda stuff.
on the topic, compressed text might be jux pointers... we need the char array to mod the text, then.

I did use Sonia's So as a beginning. Now I'm trying to figure out the ph. By the way, TheEnd, Parles-tu français? Just 255 options. Ain't too hard. (But it's a pain in the butt, I admit.) And... nope. I just speak portuguese.

The reason is that the byte following it has an effect on it too. 01 10 20, if that said Sophia "So" is shown because 01 is 01 and 10 ends with a zero. If it was changed to 01 11, it may say "h" or something. So, that means there are more than 255 options.

Two bytes, the first defines the type, the second the character itself. Maybe your only salvation would be to try finding a pattern there, some logical sequence. Which may not be present, but hey. It may be worth trying.
