Expanding Item Names

[Mentlegen]

Hey everyine, just had an interesting idea.

How would i go about expanding the item names in the pause menu screen? somehow giving more tiles to work with would be my optimal goal. I know that the disassembly might come in handy

Edit the tilemaps. PJ's log is quite useful here: http://patrickjohnston.org/bank/82#fBF06
