DKC Atlas Forum

cool thanks. That does make thing easier to read!

I need some advice. My code works and all and I can write the changed text to the German text in the ROM. I started the game and it works great. My question is how do I change multiple names at a time so that they don't overlap? I'm trying to understand the logic. Maybe I have to load every byte/cha...

I need some clarification. Is Value E5 at 38A4F8 or at 38A4F9?
Also I'm not sure how far to go with the German text. I highlighted the last word I could understand, before that I can't read the text.
See screenshots
I know these are stupid questions. Thanks for your patience.

also you said some pointers are in the same bank. How large is a bank?

How did you know where the start of the string is in the ROM? Jungle Hijinx for example? Where did you get e2 a6 from? Did you search for the text in a Hex Editor and find the offset that way? For example search the ROM for the ASCII characters that make up the Name of a Level. Sorry for sounding st...

Nevermind I get it.

But how did you find the pointer array?

Cool!
Could you provide an example on how to change the Kongo Jungle Text using your method?

I know how to change it now, my code works but it overwrites the next text block if the string is too long.

The only way I can think of is to re-write all the text... or something like that.

Kingizor. Your explanation was great. very easy to understand. I would have never known about the high bit thing without your help.

I can now edit the stage names easily. So what is next? How can I edit a stage name without overwriting the other stage names?

hmm

Thank you so much Kingizor. How do you set a high bit of a ASCII character? Is there a calculator? I'm looking on google... Using C++ Something like this? Thanks again. // constructing bitsets #include <iostream> // std::cout #include <string> // std::string #include <bitset> // std::bitset int main...

How do you specify the end of the text string? In the hex editor the last character is gibberish with a symbol on top.

I want it so that when DK collects a banana it kills him, just like a baddy does.
Anyone?

Thanks.

Hi, would anyone want to share their knowledge? Looking for ROM addresses to modify the game of DKC 1.
ALso need some ideas that I could do to change the game.


Thanks in advance!

Do I have it wrong? I'm using Addresses = 0x8394, 0x3883CB this for keeping Animals after a level. I tested it with a few levels. seems to work ok? I'm assuming water levels won't work....

^ I am using C++ not C#. Thanks for the link. Here is a new version. There are 16 edits you can make now. Just click the buttons and see what appears in the list box to the right.

Any thoughts are welcome...

Where can I get this extractor Simion made. I can't find it.

Simion?

Thanks.

Here is what I have so far. Any suggestions on features you would like to see? The only sections that are editable are the "Characters and Physics sections." I gota do some brain storming. Replace "file.bin with your ROM. Included in the attachment is a simple ROM/RAM map. Keep in min...

I looked everywhere, but can't find animated gifs of the various character/baddy animations.
Help appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm so sorry lol. Scatter brain i am.

Thanks for your reply. I complied it for release.
Does it work now?

Thanks.

Hi, I need testers to see if my hacking works. Rename your rom file to file.bin.
Click on "Lives(Start With)" and change the value to something like 42 then click Apply. This should give you 42 lives.
Thats all I done so far.

Let me know if it works.

Thanks a bunch.

This is the version of the game I'm using.

I can't seem to find the NTSC 1.0 version

Hi Simion. How can I confirm I have the right version of the game? The editor crashes when I try to load the rom.
Thanks!
