Features:
* edit every line of text in the game (spells, character text, registration screen, end credits, story, etc, etc)
* this version only works with US rom (Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link (U).nes), might work with other versions but untested because it relies on offsets in the ROM

Usage:
*Open the Rom (Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link (U).nes), change text, click update, make sure you have a backup in case something breaks.
*Feel free to email bugs to sleepy3d@gmail.com

TODO:
* refactor more form code to use backend class, clean up junk code
* Fix tab order

Problem...RistarTheStar2016-03-25Version 1.1.0.2064

When I try to open in-game text editor, it opens, but it's too big. I can't get to the bottom. I don't know if any other people are having this problem, but I sure am.

I can edit everything else though, and it's really good!
