[QUOTE="itsScarfy, post: 9926140, member: 607450"] Okay update, unfortunately there were problems. Many, many problems. [LIST=1] [*]Could not successfully insert the tods3 files after editing them (they're the uncompressed menu files that I mentioned before). I attempted to edit the file with the synopsis, TODS3_OutLineData.dat, but when I try to insert the file with CrystalTile2 it gives me this error (the attached picture), and trying to repack the ROM with DS Lazy decreases the ROM's file size by a notable amount too. Whether I pack it with DS Lazy or insert it into the ROM using CrystalTile2 (I just pressed OK on CrystalTile without changing anything bc I had no idea what to do), the ROM will boot up fine, but attempting to visit the synopsis section will give me a completely blank selection screen and make the game lock up (thankfully for my ears, the music keeps playing) [*]There are absolutely no instructions on how to open and edit the files from m.b and m.dat (the files that hold the story script (I was half right! whoo!!). The Hearts tool lets you extract from the files, which creates a ton of folders with SCP files, but I can't find anything on how to edit them and opening the files in a hex editor Or text editor even after decompression just reveals a bunch of garbage (admittedly I didn't go through a lot of them, but there are a LOT of them and I have a feeling everything else would be more of the same + take me hours) [*]The read me file states that the toolmaker was unable to make a tool for the skits (which are in fcscr.b and fcscr.dat, again turns out I was half right! \o/), which is. Gonna be a problem. [/LIST] If any of you guys are able to help a little with at least one of these things, that'd be grand. Though, especially in regards to the skit tool problem, this looks like something that's big enough to the point I would probably have to commission help from someone instead of soliciting free help on a ROMhacking forum...
