At least the game doesn't have to switch where it looks in VRAM for the graphics. So, in short, it IS tilemapped, it's just that the game writes new tiles into VRAM every time. By contrast, unless you use a pretty advanced MMC chip, the NES would have all the animation frames accessible in the ROM, and therefore wouldn't be able to move. For example, if you play Sonic on the SMS (if I remember correctly) the sprite for Sonic occupies the same area of VRAM, and the game just updates that part with the correct sprite. Most consoles actually work this way, even the Master System does this. The reason it's changing is because the game has the font stored in the ROM somewhere, but the VRAM is written to with every line instead of the graphics being loaded in from the ROM like on the NES. The latter needs less memory generally, so it's preferable on old machines. Basically you have two types of video drawing in old computers: you can either draw every pixel independently, or you have a bunch of tiles and them say where you want to put them. It updates every time I click to show the next line. Well, when browsing the memory region I can see the hex data associated with each line of text. I also found this post about a similar issue in a game of the same series: It's not easy because debugging tutorials aren't aimed at beginners. I'm sure I'm doing at least a dozen things wrong when using the debugger, so I still need to learn much about this.

However, upon disassembling, I haven't found any numeric code which could relate to X-Y coordinates, or tiles per font, or anything similar. I've been using Cheat Engine attached to a Wonderswan emulator (Oswan) and can find the address for the text lines, as well as the instructions which write or access that adress. Perhaps reducing the interlinear space would suffice, so it doesn't appear so low in the screen. The game already shows a third line below the second if you add it in the hex editor. I'm not sure if writing code would be necessary for the third line. Yeah, this is more or less what I wanted to do. QuoteYou would have to use the debugger to track down the lines of code that displays text to the screen and change it so that it treats each character as being less tiles than it currently does. I might consider abridging the text to fit it in the current screen, but would like to know first if there's a better solution. However, I don't really know where I should begin, or what's the complexity level of this. Inserting additional textboxes (though it seems the number of textboxes is fixed for a given scene) Turning the current 8x16 font tiles into 8x8 tiles (not sure if it's even possible) Expanding the screen area which the game identifies as 'textbox' so I can add a third line of text (right now, adding a third line causes graphical glitches) Reducing the size of the font (specially the width) I haven't found much info on this subject, let alone for the Wonderswan, so I'd like to know if there's some workaround for this.

Although I found a way to change pointers and have plenty of free space in the ROM, the font of the game is so big, and the textbox so small, that I'm still very limited with the text.

I'm trying to translate a Wonderswan game (Digimon Tamers - Brave Tamer) but I think I've reached a dead-end.
