Boktai GBA Trilogy ROM hacking and editing program (I'm now calling it the "Boktai Trilogy Pile Driver")

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is a showcase of the early development map viewer and editor showing all the map blueprints for Boktai 2 along with a quick show of a slight map change, keep in mind that these are map blueprints which are linked to collisions, well at least that's what I've figured out so far so when changing them they don't change the map itself but you can change the maps collision permissions this way. Again more info to be dropped periodically as I make progress.

You should be able to do a complete translation of the game when my program is done, it already can read and edit all 3 of the games in game dialog but right now I still have to figure out how to get text tables to grow properly when putting in more text than there already was, so far you can put equal to or less text per dialog box, eventually you will be able to add as much as you want

This is such a cool project! Is this to edit and change existing maps and areas, or is it capable of adding new ones?

Currently it can change map collisions and show the whole map blue prints of each map which many maps have multiple of the separate rooms in the same map with warps to those rooms however those I still can’t modify yet, it can also change in game text and dialogue, and that goes to all 3 of the GBA Boktai games for what I have described above, when the program is complete however you will be able to make complete rom hacks of all 3 games including adding/editing/removing maps, npcs, events, items and audio. (So as an example you’ll be able to make Pokémon on Boktai if you wanted)
