Hi, I'm a member of Terminus Traduction and I tried to translate this game in french but there a little text I can't find: the stage's names (highway, valley, woodland, harbor). I assume we can find them trough the debugger but I don't understand how. Could someone help me and eventually explain me how to find this text? Thanks in advance.

It may be stored as raw nametable data; use Meka's tilemap viewer to find the address of the tile, then look in the VRAM viewer to see the raw bytes, then search for that in the ROM.

I've already tried this but the text don't appear in the tilemap viewer. I guess it's some sprites but it's viewable in the RAM wiever. It use the same table as the "ROUND SELECT" text but I can't find it in the ROM.

That's the RAM copy of the sprite table. In the debugger:

b w d835

Break on write to $d835 (where letter "H" is). I see:

0D02: 7E LD A,(HL)
0D03: D9 EXX
0D04: 12 LD (DE),A

It's writing whatever it read from HL. What's there?

There it is, addresses included. There may be some other data round to specify the string lengths, I didn't look.

Whoa, that was blazing fast! Thanks again!

Whoops, missed a bit. Thse addresses are Z80 addresses; do this:

# rmap hl
Z80 $9469 = ROM $11469 (Page 4 +1469)

Now you have a ROM address.

Nice! Now i think I've got everything I need. Thanks for your help.
