[GB] Tetris - About "PUSH START" in the 2 players mode

[Brutapode89]

Hi guys. Please, I would like just translate "PUSH START" in french by writing "APPUIE SUR START". And the translation will be perfectly finished (100%).

Can you just advise me anything? Thanks in advance.

What's the difference between this particular text and the other successfully translated text? And what have you tried so fat?

[Brutapode89]

In fact, I verified the 2 players mode's translation by using the SameBoy core via RetroArch. I used the VBA emulator by going to "Tools" and "Tile Viewer" to verify bytes for letters. But I can't verify bytes for letters of "PUSH START" on VBA, because this emulator can't accept the 2 players mode and I can't even verify these on RetroArch with SameBoy.

I'm also not able to select 2 players on bgb and Mednafen emulators. Can't help with that.

There are a couple of translations out there.

Tetris (W) (V1.1) [T+Ger1.00_Kogonking]
Tetris (W) (V1.1) [T+Ger1.00_MovAX]
Tetris (W) (V1.1) [T+Por]

If they have this line modified, you can compare it to the original version in a hex editor and find changes.

And a translation by Wave https://www.romhacking.net/translations/5236/. You can ask him, he is an expert at translating games.

Does source code help you? My idea for v1.1 looks like this:

There's not enough space for the extra characters, so I put the letters for START towards the start of the ROM where you find a bunch of 0xffs, which are probably free real estate, but could already be used by your hack?
The letters are sprites and you can only have so many sprites next to each other, so I had to split it up into two lines.

Thanks but not this time
Didn't translate that part, didn't know it existed.

The tiles for that part are at 55AC and the texts for multiplayer seem to be near F3C.
Seems like I'd have to update mine.

After to have copied it on an asm. file, must I use it and the ROM 1.1 with the asar software to it works?

I normally use the rgbds assembler for Game Boy games, but I've made a .ips patch, maybe that's easier:

It works, now! Thanks a lot for your help
