Help please

I think you would have to somehow expand of one byte or rewrite that data :

Code:

C3/37E3:    B97A919EA5A29C00       ("Relic")

By what you are saying, you might already know that the start of the string is the third byte(91) and ends by 00. I don't know what the first two bytes are however.

As you can see, all the data is squeezed so there is no extra room:

Code:

C3/37CB:    397988AD9EA600         ("Item")
C3/37D2:    B97992A4A2A5A5AC00     ("Skills")
C3/37DB:    397A84AAAEA2A900       ("Equip")
C3/37E3:    B97A919EA5A29C00       ("Relic")
C3/37EB:    397B92AD9AADAEAC00     ("Status")
C3/37F4:    B97B82A8A79FA2A000     ("Config")
C3/37FD:    397C929AAF9E00         ("Save")
C3/3804:    BB7C93A2A69E00         ("Time")
C3/380B:    FF7CC100               (":")
C3/380F:    B77D92AD9EA9AC00       ("Steps")
C3/3817:    777E86A900             ("Gp")
C3/381C:    BD7A989EAC00           ("Yes")
C3/3822:    3D7B8DA800             ("No")
C3/3827:    377993A1A2AC00         ("This")
C3/382E:    B7799D9AAD9ABF00       ("data?")
C3/3836:    377984AB9AACA2A7A000   ("Erasing")
C3/3840:    B7799D9AAD9AC500       ("data.")
C3/3848:    377A8EA49AB2BF00       ("Okay?")
C3/3850:    3D818EAB9D9EAB00       ("Order")

Here are some pointer I found that are related to that data:

Code:

C3/3723:    0438        ("Time")
C3/3725:    0F38        ("Steps")
C3/3727:    5038        ("Order")
C3/3729:    CB37        ("Item")
C3/372B:    D237        ("Skills")
C3/372D:    E337        ("Relic")
C3/372F:    EB37        ("Status")

For "Relic", you could always rewrite the data contained in C3/37E3 somewhere else in the C3 bank (there is some empty space at the end of the bank) and change the pointer at C3/372D. Those pointer is used here (C3/31F7) and then you jump to the writing subroutine($69BA):

Code:

C3/31F3:    A920        LDA #$20
C3/31F5:    8529        STA $29        (set text color to white)
C3/31F7:    A22937      LDX #$3729
C3/31FA:    A00800      LDY #$0008
C3/31FD:    20BA69      JSR $69BA      (display "Item, Skills, Relic, and Status")

I think it would work by I never tried it and I'm not very good at assembly but from what I checked it seem logic. If some menu words take less space than what they are originally, you could also squeeze the data but change the pointers as well.

Edit: You should back up your hack before attempting it in cases I'm not right.

OMG you took this one on your own, Madsiur?!?! I'm very impressed, since you almost nailed everything here.

I would start by changing the pointer for relic

Code:

C3/372D:    E337        ("Relic")

and direct it to blank space in the C3 bank, exactly as you suggested.

When he expands the "relic" word, he might run into issues with overlapping text with blank spaces and other text, so that's where the fun starts.

Madsiur, do you have skype?
