$227FE0? Umm.. that's not mapped to the cartridge. You can't use that. You didn't relocate anything to that location as nothing from your ROM file will be mapped there.  You can only use $228000 and above in that bank. Judging by the address you just posted, your game is LoROM and is mapped in 32K chunks from bank $00 onward at XX:8000. Long story short, that's an invalid address. Try using Lunar Address to help out figuring out where your relocated data actually is. Then, read a few mapper documents: http://www.romhacking.net/docs/193/http://www.romhacking.net/docs/173/It will probably be a bit overwhelming at first. Especially Anomie's document. But you'll catch on after working with it. I kinda thought there was something special about that address. I know. I'm not actually writing anything there. The opcode is this: LDA $227FE0, x It's reliant on the X value, and everything else loads fine. It's just when X=0 (blank equipment spaces) that is the problem. So more than likely, if I were to change the location of the item list forward a bit, it would help me in this particular situation. I'll give that a shot; I kinda thought that would be the answer, but I wanted to see if there were any other solution first. DMM, the first item slot IS blank. But don't forget that this routine loads backwards, not forwards. So if I were to put the location of the blank item slot in the LDA opcode, it wouldn't actually load my items. The strange thing is that $227FE0 is nowhere near where my items are stored. It's WAY ahead of where my items are (it's because of the ASL As increasing the X value, no doubt). Thanks for the help, guys. ~DS |

It doesn't load backwards....You are missing the point. Move your items up 32 bytes an change the value there to $228000....That's it.

Yeah, that's right. It's not really backwards, but it's moving from 22FFxx to 2280xx. I forgot. I blame it on lack of sleep due to this being the first day of my new semester. Thanks again. ^_^ Next step: That pesky linebreak. ~DS |

I've been working on the physical limitations that FFIVET presents as far as Equipment display goes. I upped the fixed length limit from 8 to 10 (and I eventually want to throw a linebreak in there, raising it to 20, but that's not what I need help with).
I'm working with FF2us' menus--as you may or may not know--and I've come across a problem. I want to do 20-24 digit item names and make a single item column like FF3us has. Think you could point me in the right direction? I'm also having issues with the colon and item amount placement. I found the colon PRINTING code but not the actual positions. Oh, and my items don't seem to be off any in terms of the index. Do you need my code? Oh, and here's a quick screenshot of my menus.   |

A small suggestion about windows: don't ever make them use full screen width/height. Leave a 8 pixel border on the left and right sides (not sure about up and down), since the tv is going to display the borders out of the screen (notice how many Snes games enable the BG/OAM Windows just to mask that area).

Wow. I really like that font. I notice you increased the item length to 12, instead of 10. I chose to leave it at 10 because I was afraid of the issues Gemini is referring to. Plus, I plan on throwing a linebreak in that section so that I'll have 20 characters per item anyway. As far as the item screen goes, I haven't done anything with mine yet. I think I may leave it two items per line, but use the linebreak code there too, so I'll have 16 letters per item on the item screen, maybe more if I can mess with where it places items. I fixed the items list. It wasn't $20 forward, though, it was $40. But now everything works, and I have a screenshot to prove it:  It becomes obvious at this point that I still have some work to do within that menu. But I still have work to do in ALL the menus. I'll get to it eventually. ~DS |

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to seeing your progress as I'm also doing menus. They are a pain in the ass as you already know. Oh, and we'd appreciate your contributions to this forum: http://slickproductions.org/forum/index.php?board=13.0. And by we I mean those of us who love all things FF4. Dragonsbtrethren and I are going to put up an FF4 wiki here soon with everything we have accumulated for all of the FF4 versions. We need as many partisipants as possible. |

I'll be more than happy to contribute my notes. I don't have a ton right now, but as I progress through the various hacks I plan on doing, I'll get more.
Actually, unless you're using GG codes, looks like you already know more about the items than I do. Then again, I haven't bothered to try to hack the inventory yet, since I don't see a need to until I get something worth playing. Half of my hack is still in Japanese.
