Well there we go! I tested it and it works! Thanks for being so welcoming and helpful guys! This should definitely work for the carnival booth. We can get more people through while still allowing them to have fun! I'll be coming back if I have any more questions about ROM-hacking. I'd love to learn more! Have a nice night!

I click on the value "03" to change it to "1" and it somehow changes to 31. Even if I try "01" it will replace it with "30" and the next value over will be "31".

It wont let me type 01. It just changes to either 31 or 30 depending if I hit "0" or "1" on the keyboard.

Ok, so after some fiddling I realized that some of the numbers were clipping off and I was in the wrong section. I found it and navigated to where it says "03", which indicates the 3 lives, but when I try to change it by pressing "1" on the keyboard, it changes to "31". I would rather not have 31 lives. Lol. Any ideas on where i'm going wrong?

Ok, so I'm home now, and getting WindHex. I'll follow the instructions and let you guys know how it goes. This is my first time doing anything as far as messing with the internals of a ROM files so thanks for being so welcoming and helpful so far!

How exactly would I be able to find the codes? Is there a specific program I need to install? Thanks for the help!

So i'm doing a carnival booth as part of a Make-a-Wish foundation for my school. Everyone has to do a carnival booth (part of FBLA class) and I decided to bring some retro/nostalgia to my school by doing an arcade-style Pac-Man game! I outfitted my RaspberryPi with RetroPi to emulate TONS of games. I'm sure you guys know about emulators and RetroPi as well, but I thought I would like to ask you all to do a (most likely) simple task for me. I would like a Rom-Hack to change the amount of lives in Pac-Man down to one single life. I believe 3 is too many and the carnival is only for an hour over two days. So naturally, it would be way to time-consuming to allow people to play all the lives and I would rather not tell them to get off the game. That would be rude ya know? I would like to raise as much money as possible with the booth. Let me know if you would be able to change the amount of lives! I will attach the file as well. It's the NES version by the way. Thanks for reading!
