OK so I was messing with winhex and opened up a game I scrolled down a lot and saw on the right side "NPC talk start NPC talk end" so my question is,having found this will the text be close or should there be a pointer after this that points to text.I'm very new at this so any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE-I think I found blocks of text or something,now on the right side it says 01.text all the way to 92.text

What platform is the game for?
Yes, this information is important.

Congratulations, you`ve opened the whole rom at once and now view one of it`s file trees... Try to unpack the nds file (they are kind of like ISOs in that regard) and you will find the files you`re looking for. http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/NdstoolcYa, Tauwasser |

So you extracted the files? Congratulations, now you either have already files a la 01.text ... 90.text and so on in one of the sub folders you have, or you ventured into a packed file which contains these files. Either way, the file header might give away what format they use. There are some pretty standard formats such as "NARC" archives for which there is an available utility online. I forgot the name though basically... It`s called narctool...

Try the standrd lzxx format and if that doesn`t work it uses an own compression which you might find out if you debug the code... Or look at it really hard (that`s how I figured some compressions scemes out already!)

Maybe I should try looking really hard at the Re:CoM files  DS games for the most part use LZ77 as their compression algorithm, I think there's a tool in the Utilities section that may help you decompress them easily, or you could try one of the GBA Pokemon decompressors since they have the same compression format. If not, you would have to debug the game as Tauwasser said. What game is this by the way? |
