Need Some Help

It set the light bulb off of saying, "Hmmm... so the hex address IS different than what I'm seeing in the disassembly. I bet there's a quick way to convert between one and the other." Once I knew to look for that, I was able to find the answer within minutes.

Yeah this is what I was saying in my previous post. As far as SNES hacking goes, all relevant and critical information is easily available once you understand what you are looking for. It might be presented in a technical way, but assembly and SNES hardware understanding were never and will never be a general public knowledge. Like all technical and programming things, some reading is harsh and it's the case the more you want to know in detail how things work. One thing that can be done is having a good starting document that goes through the basics and suggest further reading for each element. That might be one of my goal eventually, writing something like FAST6191's ROM Hacking guide but aimed at FF6. But doing such thing would be time consuming so I'm waiting to have written more FF6 tutorials and wiki pages to have more content ready.

One issue is also that regardless how information is presented and given, some people will miss it or won't want to read a lot of documentation about the subject. I'm expecting when starting to sprite or modify GFX you look up a tutorial on FF6 spriting that is available on the wiki and forum and linked in 3 or 4 relevant places. As for coding, you may want to just do a small change in the game but you will bang your head over and over on the hex editor and if you don't sit down and read a good document about 65816 assembly it will be a recurring problem. You could either way have this as bedtime reading for a month or constantly referring a good reference document when doing your changes but you'll have to dive in the pool somehow if you want to get results, a thing a lot of people simply don't want to do when starting.
