I'm still not sure how to find the location in the rom of the starting address for the LZ compressed location graphic, though.

Due to the lack of bios emulation, it's still in register r0 (which is, as labmaster said, the source address).
So you subtract 0x8000000 (because the memory area of the rom starts at 0x8000000) and you have the absolute address in the rom. That would be 0x223c78 in this case.

[NB: Decompressing to an EWRAM buffer then transferring to VRAM via DMA is actually a pretty common pattern.]
Yes, of course. But it's pretty useless if used like this.  LZ77UnCompVram can write directly to VRAM, and it's faster than a combination of LZ77UnCompWram and a DMA transfer, too. So why waste time and space?

Whoa talk around here is starting to go way over my head, so forgive me if this doesn't help:

Using NLZ77 you can scan the ROM for compressed data. It will give you the offsets of everything that's compressed, but it wont tell you if it's graphics or text. Then you can use it to decompress that stuff. Here's all the offsets with compressed data:

Again I'm sorry if this isn't on topic, I'm not sure what you guys are talking about right now.  Wink

Thanks for those compressed offsets.

There is a problem in case 2. After you talk to AA using either talk option, the game freezes. Looking in the script, there is a <jmp 173> at the end of both sections. <jmp 173> goes to pointer f3 (173-80). Here is pointer f3:
Code:
@PTRf3
<noop><35 2d00 16><35 a01 16><10 800a><jmp 127><hidetextbox 3><special_jmp>
<endjmp>

<jmp 127> goes to pointer a7:

Code:
@PTRa7

This is looking really good.  That title looks good in the GBA rom. 

I've had a look at the rom to see if there is a way to expand the text box so three lines can fit in.  I was expecting it to be a whole image the game loads but it turns out it just loads 8 x 8 squares to make the image which are uncompressed.  I just got to locate the data that tells the rom how to display the box and edit it.  Shouldn't be too hard.   

If that is successful, all that is required is to figure out how to move the name box up and allow the text to flow on three lines.  But let's worry about one step at a time. 

EDIT:

Well it wasn't as hard as I expected.  The data was uncompressed and there is plenty of space to expland the 'map' graphic:



Same height as in the Phoenix Wright game now. ^^

Now to figure out how to move the name graphics up.

Look good, but...

Sorry to ruin this for you but you need to consider that the DS version had extra room to put a new line in (taller screen). By putting a new line in you risk obstructing something in the game since that textbox will now cover around 40% of the screen. A better solution would be to find a way to display 3 lines within the smaller textbox.

You think it won't work?  The only thing I found covering the taller text box was the Court Record but that can easily be moved up to the top part of the screen (or maybe even modify it to work like the English version but that would require some skilled hacking).   

It's not like the taller text box covers the sprites faces or anything.  Unless I'm missing something that you're concerned with.

The only other solution is to use a smaller font or stick to just two lines but I dislike those options. Tongue

Well I'm on the right track:



Now just got to move it down 2 tiles and yes I'm aware it's PW1 but PW3 works in the same way the features can easily be transferred.

I still dislike this since it is turning the GBA version into the DS version, I prefer the smaller textbox of the GBA version. Also won't that name box get in the way of the court record box even if you move it up?

Also there is nothing wrong with having it as two lines. This is for people who don't have a DS and as such have never played the DS version. (Well at least that was the impression I got)

It's for people who are too cheap (stone age PCs) to use even an DS emulator, so they can pirate the game on GBA emulators.

Yes but this wasn't intended for those types of people right?

*waits for someone to say: "But teh text will cover up teh boobies!!!111"

>_>
<_<
*runs*


But seriously, I think the 3 lines might look good. The question is if it will make inserting the script easier, harder, or no difference.

New patch up that translates to case 2-3 (see first post). Graphics still aren't translated, though I think I have all the locations for Location graphics. I just need to match up which ones are which, then replace the text.
