Doesn't matter. The concepts and techniques are universal, not console specific.

Wait why do you need a table for Earthbound? Didn't you say you already had a script dump? Maybe I misread... If you really need a complete table you can get it from here. (I can never find any table files on RHDN so I assume there aren't any. If anyone wants to correct me then go right ahead )

Hell, you might even be able to get a complete script dump at starmen.net. Just poke around the PK Hack board and I think you'll find one. If you can't find it then you could try asking someone for it, though that should be a last resort. I know a few people were translating EB into other languages so I would assume at least one of them has a script.

As for putting it in the GBA rom, I hope you know that it would require a lot of ASM hacking, at least to make it not suck. You said you're new to the scene but not that you're new to romhacking, so I'm hoping that you know what you're doing.

Wow. Did anybody at MTO or Locus happen to be involved with Mother 2's development?

While you're around Tomato, any progress on the Mother 3 script (you can PM)?  I'm wondering if I'll be able to see if my inserter works or not...  ;P

I may be in over my head at this point but i still have no regrets. i will do my best to figure this out. In all reality i am doing this because on psp i can not run the game at full speed with the sounds. and as many EB fans know the sounds of the game make it worth playing. along with the dialog. I also have a DS with flash carts but the SNES emulators available currently suck. nothing against the people who work to make them the best but at the current state many games are unplayable.

That's fine, if you don't want any sound and don't mind screwed up BG layer priorities.

Like some one just said all the SNES emulators for PSP/GBA/DS are crap. not to say anything to the people who put hard work into them. i greatly appreciate it. But the best emulator for portable right now is the emulator for PSP which if i want to play it at proper res and game speed i have to a) turn the sound off or B) lower some mhz sound setting to where it sounds like i am playing my psp under water. Also does anyone know if ChrisRPG is still around. i tried contacting him for some help but he seems to not be around. He is from RPGone.co and was working on an actually translation for it. He has the script dump for the GBA version but i can t get a hold of him to get that or at least some table file help to do my own. so far i was able to get all the hex values for the jap alpha bit. which took a lot of time lol. But i still can't find the actual script. When i look at tomatoes file for EB i know i am missing alot of stuff but dont know how or where to find that stuff.
