To bomb or not to bomb... Reputation: +6/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 4162	Hopefully, I won't get in trouble for this. Anyways, I'm working on hecking the original Final Fantasy. Is there any way to expand it so enemy names and stuff can be longer, or more colors in the palettes, or anything? For my envisioned plan, I need to know if this can be done. So, can it? « Last Edit: February 10, 2010, 10:40:43 pm by Mirby » Logged

The program I'm using (FFHackster) displays KAB, and the number next to it is how many free characters I can use in that text category. Once I figured that out, it was easy. Now KARY is Marilith!

Is there any reliable program I could d/l to edit sprites in games like SMB3 or something? (DJ needs to be the new Hammer Bros.!) Logged
