This document was written in 2000. The tools used are as follows:

  • Tile Layer
  • Thingy32
  • SNES Tool
  • Covers how to make a table file, how to make an ips patch, and how to change gibberish into readable text. eg play the game until you see "sdfg", then search in Thingy for "sdfg" and change it to "save".
