Did you notice any hex values that might indicate string length? In my Famicom Wars translation the first value in the string sets how long the string is. (the first value also controls how large to draw the text box).



This is just an example, I have no idea if it applies to your game too.

Resurrection!

I've encountered a similar problem for a different game. I don't think there's any control codes involved this time. The game stores the top tiles first then the bottom tiles next. I changed the pointers to allow for more room, but after the 8th character, the game does a line break on me.



Check out the 0's. I didn't do that line break. After every 8th character, the game automatically does a line break. I wanna increase that. Essientially I'm limited with the amount of characters I can have for every string because of that. Any ideas on how I can fix this or even what's the game's doing? I'm guessing the string length is hard-coded.

That was way too easy and this happens to be the first time I've used a debugger properly. Every time I use a debugger, I always set a write breakpoint. I don't know why, I just do. I think I did that when I wanted to disable some dakuten code. I believe I set a write breakpoint for the text location where the dakuten. Would it work this time if I changed it to read?
