Hello, as I said in this post Question about the IPS format, I wanted to create a patch where it centers the full names of the characters during the end credits, standardizes the space width and it changes Shadow names for Clyde Arrowny. The patch is to be apply to a unheadered 1.0 ROM.

Hum... how do I upload files? The option to add an attachment was available two days ago, but now it seems to be gone.
EDIT: Thanks to Madsiur for uploading the file!

The attachment option is still there unless you can't add any on post update.. I have not touch the attachment settings since we re-enabled them.
Edit: It is there for me on post edit and create.

The patch is available here. Shootout to Madsiur for his ending sequence name guide which was extremely useful.

Ok, I just tested this patch, and Lunar IPS is telling me that the IPS file appears to be truncated or misaligned.
RE: Shadow to Clyde Arrowny in end credits - NPCnextdoor - 12-29-2017
I created the file by hand. Let me check if I miscalculated the payload lengths.

Ahh, I think it may have been because I was modding a headered ROM. Crap, sorry for the confusion. Let me test this with an unheadered one. Ok, after testing with an unheadered ROM, Lunar IPS is still telling me that the issue is still there. So, yeah, something funky is going on. Dunno what though.

I found the mistake. It is a miscalculation on my behalf. I didn't use any tool to create the IPS patch (because I use Linux) and the way the format works, you need to tell in advance how many bytes the next chunk of data contains. I simply put 0461h instead of 0462h for one of the chunk length. I corrected the IPS patch and reuploaded on my website. I *hope* that this will work this time (it might not as I'm very tired right now
)Note to myself: learn python and create an IPS creator/patcher.

Yes, that works perfectly, as there are no more 'error' messages popping up anywhere. Thank you.

Speaking of Madsiur's document, there are a couple of mistakes in his document. I wanted to PM Madsiur to tell him directly, but I can't.
Page 1: The top values of the normal letters should start at 00, not at 01. Thus, the letters 'a' to 'm' have incorrect values. The second line of normal letters doesn't show this error.
Page 4: The "Pointers to names pointers with starting X coordinate" shows incorrect values for Edgar's entry as they are the same as Shadow's. The correct values are:
Code:
C2/8DFC: 53 8E 30 56 8E 98.Page 7: As indicated, the values for Locke's name output Locke Coly. The last set of values should be replaced by:
Code:
C2/8F52: 60 08 *04* 31
C2/8F56: 60 10 *14* 31Also, the data for "and you" is located at FF8A0F-FF8A3E
Code:
"a"
FF8A0F: 00 08 00 31
FF8A13: 00 10 10 31
"n"
FF8A17: 08 08 0D 31
FF8A1B: 08 10 1D 31
"d"
FF8A1F: 10 08 03 31
FF8A23: 10 10 13 31
"y"
FF8A27: 20 08 28 31
FF8A2B: 20 10 38 31
"o"
FF8A2F: 28 08 0E 31
FF8A33: 28 10 1E 31
"u"
FF8A37: 30 08 24 31
FF8A3B: 30 10 34 31I don't know which bank is 0x0F0000 - 0x0FFFFF. It is $CF? Also, I wasn't able to find the length value for this string in the vicinity of these bytes. If it was following the same format as the other strings, there should have been a "0C" at 0xFF8A0E.

Was it confirmed that Relm's last name came from her father and not her mother?
