Could someone give me some pointers on how to go about expanding menus in an NES ROM?

I tried searching the board (using 'menu expansion' as the criteria) as well as browsing the ASM documents and searching the entire document section for the word 'menu' and came up with zilch.

I know that people have successfully expanded menus in past releases. Surely someone has written about this topic?

Most menu data is usually hard-coded in the ROM. There's probably a few ways of finding them out, but you could find the menu border tile values in the PPU and then set a PPu write breakpoint to start of the data. Then just go backwards from there.
