Shin Zelda Densetsu doesn't seem to save for me. If I die and choose "save", I can continue from that save as long as I don't power off, but if I turn off the game and come back to it later, the save is gone.

No, it assumes all the text starts where it normally does.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. The length can vary within certain limits but it assumes all the text banks start where they normally do, and assumes item names are their regular lengths.

How do you move the doors (the exits to other levels or to overhead areas) and/or change where the doors lead? Or is that even possible?

Find the routine that sets the PPU pointer and it should prove a trivial fix.

Awesome, thanks! Though, finding routines like that is a bit above my level at this point (to do the fixes above I was just copying byte changes specified in the text file into a hex editor).

Anyone have any advice on how to go about finding this routine? Or perhaps can point me to a good tutorial or something?

Thanks

ROM Hacking Discussion / FF1: Trouble with 5-letter names in cure/tent menu

« on: May 04, 2011, 01:40:29 pm »

Hello,

I've been following the directions in FF.txt in this archive that describe what to change to enable characters to have 5-letter names. Everything works fine except that when you use a tent, potion, cure spell, or other such action that brings up the horizontally oriented menu allowing you to select a party member, their names each have an extra space, causing the text to overflow onto the next line.

Here is a screenshot to illustrate:


Does anyone know what I have to do to remedy this situation? Thanks.

How do you delete an enemy?

EDIT: It's Ctrl-RightClick. It took a while to figure that out by trial and error. It would have been nice if it were in the documentation somewhere.
