Finding Text pointers

[joesteve1914]

I am translating this game-

To find pointers, you take a hex string and convert it to little endian.
So you have the string

EC 01 FB 00 FB 01 (ボール)

Now you convert it to little endian-

01 FB 00 FB 01 EC

But nothing comes up?
What am I missing?


Sorry I'm new to this

Oh so you figured out how to get into the ingame graPhic text or the 3-d letters? Nice! Pointers should be a breeze for you then. DS can switch back and forth between big and little endian though little endian is generally its default mode.

Well I haven't figured out the graphics yet, but I think I'm close to it. In that last topic, Auryn was right. Whenever I run into a problem I ask here. I didn't realize how lazy I was being with this, so I've spent a lot of time researching nds graphics.

Try finding the Pointer using the big endian technique and if that don't work then try creating a breakpoint where the text comes up and see what that tells you.

You are supposed to do that with the string's address, not the string itself. Also: DS doesn't use big endian in any of its native modes.
