[Super Metroid] Minor text error--C8NCEL?

[vivify93]

Hi everyone, I'm having another small issue with Super Metroid. It seems like on the Option Mode, "CANCEL" has changed to "C8NCEL".

Screenshot:


I'm not sure when or how this happened. However, I do know it's not an accidentally-moved tile issue, like the A and 8 got swapped somehow. They're in the proper places.



Note my time of 06:28 on the top save file, and the "DATA COPY" / "DATA CLEAR" at the bottom, all spelled right.

The strangest thing is that I can't seem to find Super Metroid's text table anywhere online, so if this is a simple text error I can't fix it without the proper values.

Thank you for your time; have a nice day. :)

I will look this up for u later today, It obviously has had  a byte change somewhere in a hex editor. I know where about this will be, I just need to find the 'exact' byte and what to change it to. I am 100% sure I know how to do this.

Thanks so much! I figured it might've been a small text bug but I don't have any of the text tables on hand.

Your welcome, however it will have to wait till tomorrow now. Some long unexpected unwanted chore came up suddenly when I was about to do the favor. Sorry about that.

It's no problem. I appreciate the help regardless. :)

I hope it's not a month of repointing gfx...

I wouldn't think it would be...? I mean, it looks like just a text problem. I don't know how it happened, but it did and it should be as simple as changing 8 to A...

It wouldn't, be that, otherwise the a,s in 'data clear' would be replaced with an 8 also.

Here is the fix.

I highly suspect byte on your ROM reads 68 at this PC address in a hex editor = 0B8FBF, change 68 to read 6A instead in a hex editor and this will change it back to an A..Good luck...

That did it! Thanks again, I appreciate it.
