Hello, RomHackPlaza Users!
I like to find someone that knows how to change the HUD text to say that says kirby to Boxguy. If want info about Boxguy Adventure look at this link.

I can do that. A TBL file is all that's needed to edit texts in the game.

Though the intro text will be harder to do as half of it seems to be compressed.

Thank you commenting.
The text I want mainly the HUD text says Kirby to be changed to Boxguy or to shorten it Box.G. Also how do you get a TBL file?
Another question do you think end the story and Ability description text or similar problem to the intro text?

I use the "PPU Viewer" function in FCEUX to see what addresses the letter tiles correspond to.
And, I don't really know if the ability description texts are compressed like the intro cutscene text. Probably yes, but I'll have to check again when I can.

Thank you for the info I will try using ppu viewer for the text when get chance. (plus Fcuex is my main nes emulator of choice.)

Some Table files are shared here at the bottom. (upper&lowercase tbl)

You can also view and edit in the debugger. It might also help figuring out the controll bytes.

Yeah I figured that out looking at the nametables and NES's PPU
