It's compressed with LZ77. Here's an extractor: LZ77Util.zip http://www.romhacking.net/utils/511/ should be able to extract and compress, try that.

I need some help again I have downloaded Atlas and I don't know how to insert text.I have a script:

By HernanZh
Code:
//Create table
//Replace PP15A.tbl with the name of your table. You're not working with the Puyo Puyo table after all.
#VAR(Table, TABLE)
#ADDTBL("PP15A.tbl", Table)
#ACTIVETBL(Table)

//Create custom pointer
#VAR(MyPtr, CUSTOMPOINTER)
#VAR(PtrTable, POINTERTABLE)

//Replace $0 with the size of the pointer table.
#CREATEPTR(MyPtr, "LINEAR", $0, 32)
#PTRTBL(PtrTable, $8, 4, MyPtr)

//Replace $0 with the start address of the text.
#JMP($0)
//Also replace [stop] with the control code that ends a text
#AUTOWRITE(PtrTable, "[stop]")

Have you dumped the text already and compiled a table for reinsertion? Then you're all set. Just fill in the blanks and insert your script at the end of the file.

I have dumped the text and I have an sjis table this should work, right?
But what do you mean enter the script at the end of the file? like this?:

#JMP($0)
//Also replace [stop] with the control code that ends a text
#AUTOWRITE(PtrTable, "[stop]")
test1
test2
test3

Hold on. The script's compressed, right? Are you using Atlas to reinsert into some file that's being recompressed into the ROM, or are you trying to use it to insert the script directly into the ROM?

In the latter case, it won't work. Atlas doesn't do compression.

No the text isn't compressed I just want to put it in the rom.
