Also... be ABSOLUTELY sure you have a copy of your ROM from before you started hexing stuff like this.  You'll need it to make a difference patch to repair damages if something unexpected happens.  In fact, once you think you've got it working, you should probably make that reversal patch right away.  Using LunarIPS, select the hexed ROM as the original and your previous version as the "patch", and it'll give you a nice reversal patch that'll work so long as you don't do other stuff in that same section of the ROM.

Wow...I had no idea how much work it took to make a new learning subroutine.  It's all so much to take in and understand every little detail that goes into coding.  I may never be able to grasp how all this works.  Even when I locate a string of code somewhere, I just get lost in a sea of bytes.  I'd like to think that I learned some things today though.

Anyway I plugged in all the information you gave me and it seems to be working fine as far as I can tell.  I am extremely grateful that you went out of your way to do this for me.  It is very much appreciated.  I wish I could return the favor somehow, though coding is not my strong suit.
