hi I'm new to this website.
I've been trying for like the past year to translate my first ROM and i thought i would start off with something easy and different. Because Pokemon green isn't available in 100% English (it is but not proper English), this is what i thought i should start with. i know i need a hex editor and a few other things but i can't seem to find any that work (or maybe they do and i just don't understand it). anyway getting to the point now. can someone help me find tools that work and a 'read me' so that i can try my first hack.
thanks...

2 of the tools he recommended don't work. Searchrelative2 and Thingy.

Hexposure for hex it's only for dos tho if you have windows xp,2k,or nt get the one for xp, windows 98, me, 9x, 3.1, will use the old dos version, or you can get anyone of the ones here most like WindHex32 for windows. http://www.romhacking.net/?category=13&Platform=&game=&author=&os=&level=&perpage=20&page=utilities&utilsearch=Go&title=&desc=

The irony in all of this is that I'm also a mod, so I've been reported to myself. That's awesome. :laugh:

You have to make a table file, I found  the table data for the rom.copy and paste all the data into a text file and save it as pokemongreen.tbl.Then open it in a hex editor with the rom open in the hex  editor, recommend windhex.

With windhex you can change the text directly once you have a table file, post if you need help with that.

Or you can get the english patch for green patch a clean rom the use the above method on the translated rom because most of the hacking work will be done for you

Are you using the Pokemon green Japan rom, or the Pokemon green ugly English rom, if your using the Japanese one with that table file you want see any text unless you hack in a English font first.

Edit I don't know about windhex32 but in hexpose those first to characters want cut it it.

I would remove those from the table, and then try it, also the table should start with 4F, and end with FF in this case.

Not really...

vulcan-raven is right.

Moderators berating members for no good reason and not following the rules is not acceptable.

If you have nothing helpful to ad or cannot contribute to the thread, refrain from posting as per Rule number 6. If your aim was to suggest a forum member try harder at meeting rule number 11, that would still not be the way to get the point across.

You've been warned.

Anyway i really don't want to be arguing with people.

I just have that problem. I've made a table file, downloaded a hex editor (pretty much all hexeditors available) and i have Pokemon Green Ugly English Version. Still don't know where to start changing the text and theres no readable English, which apparently theres supposed to be.
