[SM] Editing "OPTION MODE" text?

[vivify93]

Hi, everyone! I have a new question. I want to change Kejardon's Control Freak patch to say OPTION MODE again when you start up the game as opposed to CONTROL FREAK as it does now. I can't seem to find out how to do that, though. Does anyone have a clue as to where I should start? Thanks for your time; have a nice day! :)

This was easier to just do for you than type all of the instructions.

Goto 0B8DF4 in a hex editor after applying control freak & overwrite with these bytes.

The instructions:

"Option Mode" from 0B8DF4-0B8FCC
"Controller Setting Mode" from 0B8FCD-0B91C3
"Special Setting Mode" from 0B938D-0B9538

1. Go download a program called lunar compress.
2. Highlight one of the above sections of data in a hex editor & save as 1.bin.
3. Place that file in the lunar compress folder.
4. Open cmd & cd your way to the lunar compress folder.
5. Type decomp.exe 1.bin 2.bin 0 4 0 in cmd.
6. It'll save a new file, 2.bin. Open that in a hex editor.
7. For your option mode edit, you'll see at offset 54 there is 00 00 0D 00 2C 00 etc.
    Every $40 bytes is one line on the settings screen. The first 40 bytes are 0F 00.
    Open your rom in tile layer pro & go to 070000. There's an alphabet.
    The 0F 00 is the far right tile on the first row, which is just a black tile.
    At offset 54, the 00 00 is for the far left tile, which is the top of the "O" in option.
    0D 00 = top of P, 2C 00 = top of T, 22 00 = top of I, etc.
    Then $40 bytes later is the bottom row of "Option Mode." Repeat.
8. Save, then type recomp.exe 2.bin 3.bin 0 4 0 in cmd.
9. You'll get a file 3.bin. Open in hex, copy all, & paste in your rom at 0B8DF4.
10. Congratulations, you did it!! What a horrible time consuming process that was.

Thank you, I appreciate it very much. I did do some searching to figure it out on my own, and found nothing unfortunately. Perhaps I should've searched for a few more hours. :)
