unanswered Pokemon Black&White - Name Input Extention

[DJ91990]

Hey everybody.

I was wondering what tools I would need to edit the contents of .narc files and such that are found in the ROM data when you open a ROM in Nitoexplorer2.

I want to know this because I want to do this:

|I want to extend the default Japanese input limit from 5 JPN Characters to 7 ENG Characters(HG/SS Name Input Default US Limit)|

THIS IMAGE WAS MODIFIED! IT'S NOT REAL!!

I know that I will require these tools so far:

A Hex Editor (For editing extracted NARC contents)

NitroExplorer (For extracting/replacing ROM contents)

My first goal is to have the 7 Character Limit work.

After I have the 7 Character Limit working fully I will want to change the JPN English Character page with with the US English Characters. (I assume the US Font exists in the ROM because if you add a Pokemon with a English name from HG/SS/D/P/PL the text uses the English Font and not in the Japanese-English Font..)

My Final Goal would be to change the Max Character limit on Pokemon Nickname imput from 5 to 10

Don't bother saying that it is not possible because it is. I just need to know what tools/research I would need to do this.

If I can successfully pull this off, I may have a possible contribution to the Pokemon B/W English Translation by Kazowar.

It's not impossible but it is a lot more difficult then most hacks. Most hacks are just modifying something in the filesystem. Content in the filesystem is easy enough to find and easier to modify. What you're talking about is a hack of the "executable" part of the ROM, the ARM9. The only tools for that are a debugger.
