I'm sure a lot of you old school ROM Hackers remember Final Fantasy Heroes, it was a hack done by Elric from EDS (Earth Drake Sanctuary) He was working on this hack but never released what he did because according to him, ROM Hacking is dead. I liked his idea and decided to make my own version of the hack, I don't remember who were going to be the bosses though. Here's his old screenshots...







I like holding on to old hack pics. Here's my version of the hack, I used a FF hack as a base, forgot the name.




The hero sprites were done courtesy of Zynk Oxhyde.

I'd like to know where's the palette offsets of the text box, to make it red instead of blue, The offsets to make the text box appear fast like in Dragoon X Omega II and the offsets to disable the world map, if I remember right about the world map thing.

If you fellas can please gimme a hand, or if you have the notes on you to pass to me, I'd really appreciate it, thanks. I'm already drawing the layouts on paper.

I forgot to mention that in my hack when you push down the B button, you run fast.

Best way to find those would be to download Disch's disassembly from the site!

I dug into these 3 things and found:

;;  Show Dialogue Box [$D602 :: 0x3D612] -- A few bytes into this, there's a $02 that controls how fast the dialogue box opens.

;;  DialogueBox_Frame  [$D6A1 :: 0x3D6B1] -- ABOVE this, there's a $03 that controls how fast the dialogue box closes.

;;  Load Border Palette  [$EB29 :: 0x3EB39] -- Change that $01 to $06 for red text boxes and menus. And looks like there's a $00 that would be $16 going by that fourth screenshot. That will also make the battle borders red-tinted.

I don't know about disabling the overworld map... do you mean the minimap, pressing B+Select? If so...

;;  Do Overworld Transitions  [$C140 :: 0x3C150]

It's a bit in there somewhere.

      @Minimap:
        LDA #BANK_MINIMAP -- $09
        JSR SwapPRG_L     -- $FE $06 or $06 $FE

All you'd have to do, I THINK, is change that LDA to an RTS to just skip it altogether?

Thanks Jiggers, I really appreciate this.

I'm gonna get started with this after I run some errands.
