Well, I'm having some space problems with Goemon 2, you see the actual line is "I've got some great news, Goemon", but I can only fit "I've got some great", and I want to know, is their anything I can do to fix this? To make the game fit the extra characters? Here's a screen:  |

Is there a reason you can't just insert a linebreak and write the rest of the text on the next line?

Yes, it overlaps with the next message box. |

Uh... change the pointers around?
You do know how to edit, extract and reinsert scripts, right? You've got extraction down, at any rate...

Of course, I do. It's just that the line ends after "great", and goes onto the next message box. |

What are you talking about? You're not very good at explaining yourself.
I'm assuming the original string space in the ROM s not long enough to hold the new English string.
It looks like a pointer issue.

Okay if I'm not being clear enough let me put it this way....
This is the original japanese text, which is 19 characters:
ごえもんはんいいはなしが あるんですがね
Now we have the English text, which is 32 characters, and overlaps the original text by 13 characters:
I've got some great news, Goemon.
Therefore you can only fit the first 19 characters:
I've got some great

Therefore you change the pointer for the second string to accommodate the longer string.

Right. What he said. And if you rearrange all the pointers and still can't fit all the text, you either have to compress it, cut some of it out, or relocate it. If you can't find the pointers or don't know what they are, there are plenty of pointer documents in the database. |

"I have" sounds more proper than "I've got" anyways.. but he's not asking for help on translation, he's asking for help with pointers.
