With another command-line tool called [http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/224/ Atlas], you may re-insert that text file (after modifying it) in the ROM, and the tool will take care of updating the pointers. You can, for example, tell it to start inserting text in an empty yet accessible location at the end of the ROM. The possibilities are endless. | With another command-line tool called [http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/224/ Atlas], you may re-insert that text file (after modifying it) in the ROM, and the tool will take care of updating the pointers.

Just put all the needed files in the same folder, make a new .txt file where you write the command detailed in the tool's readme, and save that file as one with the .bat extension. If you double-click on it, it will execute that tool the way you wanted it with little effort. | + | Command-line tools may sound scary, with their black MS-DOS dialog boxes flashing quickly and disappearing.

This is mainly due to the lack of a truly good editor, though one is in the works. This community is a spin-off of Metroid Construction devoted to hacking of ALttP and other games in the series. |
