 How do you remove the menu border that surrounds the enemies and you?It was done in dragoon x
omega 2,so I know it's possible.If you need a visual aid.



How do I remove the part I covered with red?

 Can't anyone help me?All I want to do is remove that border,just like final fantasy 2 and 3.If Thaddeus and Silver X did it,than it can't be so hard.Even a simple "don't know" would suffice.

I didn't post because I don't have the specifics anymore, and thought someone else might. From what I remember, the game calls the normal window drawing routine for the top and side borders of those two windows. The bottom borders, for whatever reason, are actually a tilemap stored raw in the ROM. Again, I don't have specifics. The best thing to do would probably be set a write breakpoint on the top left corner in PPU memory and work backwards from there once the border tile is drawn.

 After searching the internet I found a way to remove it,sort of.Heres the code...

Expands and "hides" border:
$3F2F5 -30
$3F2FA -18
$3F306 -30
$3F308 -18

Eliminates fake window bottom:
$3F63E -00
$3F648 -00
$3F64C -EAEAEA
$3F650 -00EAEAEA

Fixes background palette:
$3F414 -0F
$3F41C -00

Expands background:
$3F3A3 -20 A0 F3 A3 A3 A

 How do I put a single a into a hex editor?,and for some reason,certain weapon graphics are glitched tiles.I checked in hackster and they look correct,and it only effects certains tiles.Like sword 1 and 2,and hammer.

 A  single "A", hex values have to be 2 digits long,but the "A" was only one.Either way,I removed the border,but the weapon graphics are still glitched.It affects certain tiles,for example,it affects the sword 1 and sword 2 tiles.But doesn't seem to glitch up the nunchuk graphics.

hmmm... that second "a" wasn't there last night.

anyway, a "single" hex value of "a"(10 in decimal) would be entered as "0A"


although, now that i think about it for a minute, i remember seeing things like that over on gamefaqs in one of the ff1 fixes threads.  in that case, just open your hex editor and over write the characters you were given for that fix.  starting at 3f3a3 you're over writing 5 full bytes and then half of the next one.  your editor will allow you to do that and leave the other half of the byte alone.
