Editing eboot.pbp

**Safari Al** · June 28th, 2007, 03:27

Listen I am a noob at programing and everything, but i am making a mod for a super mini mario and need to edit the words at the bottom "Remaining Coins" (I think) to say something else. I think i'm supposed to edit data.psp which is apparently the executable file. I tried to edit it with notepad (noob) and got a bunch of random symbols. What can i use to edit this. Thanks

try a hex-editor maybe? ive extracted eboots and compiled them again but never messed with the data.psp and such files.

would that allow me to do what i want to do?

Nope as it is compiled so you cannot see the code

if you edit data.psp, you may need also to edit
the data.psar offset in the eboot header (if data.psp size changes).
~ note "REMAINING COINS" may be IMG, not string ~

Use a .pbp unpacker I think, or hex editor.

Hex editor doesn't do anything cause its' only 3 or 4 lines (definately not the whole game) I checked and the "Remaining coins" isn't an image.

Edit: The other thing doesn't realy matter right now but i am having a much bigger problem. Whenever I put in my custom sfx, i get a weird fuzzy sound. How do i fix this? Please help!!!1

most programming languages have string search & replace.
(eg string.gsub() in lua)
so, maybe you could load the data.psp into a string in RAM & gsub() "remaining coins"..
