Do you have a link to something that would help me decipher it? I'm assuming its simplified above and in the actual rom the data is...less obvious haha.

Yeah, I had the same issue when I was trying to recreate what GhostXIII did with his "Runic becomes Shock" relic without the rest of what he added in his own mod. I did eventually figure out what to do (incase you want to use it yourself, you can find it on romhacking.net), it just took me messing around in a few places, including one I originally didn't even know I needed to find (and a big thanks to darknil for the help they offered, as they gave me the general direction where to look, which made finding it a lot quicker).

So let's say you're using WindHex32. The big thing the guides don't clearly state and/or explain is you need to display the Offset (Option > Display Offset As >) as SNES Hi-ROM, and that you need to "Go to offset" (Search > GoTo Offset) and set the search parameters as SNES HI-Rom. Once you do that the coding offered here and in the guides will then match up.

That bit of explanation finally made it a hell of a lot easier to find and edit the things I wanted to mess around with. And it was never actually explained in detail anywhere I looked, it was just something I noticed in one of madsiur's video guides here as I was having similar issues and not understanding how to find the things that were supposed to be there (the fact I could stop, enlarge, and replay parts of some of those video guides made finding those notes easier as well with the whole "SNES Hi-ROM" bits as he was hex editting things, which then allowed me to quickly figure out the rest).

For newbies, a lot of people forget that sometimes simple stuff like that actually does need to be shown and/or explained.

Hopefully this little bit of rambling on my part here will help you some in figuring out how to find the bits of coding you are actually looking for, as well as making it less of a mess to deal with. ^_^
