I’m learning how to hack different aspects of the Super Nintendo games Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy IV (FF 2, originally in the US).

My working project notes are partially collected here.

Banner image is a screenshot from ff6tools webapp, which can edit many aspects of both games.

Next Goals

1. Complete DressCode 2.0 IC Sprites; add to TD FF5r-IC project

   1. P = 12 left !

2. FFV Clean v1.98

   1. adjust Song names?
      1. or add a tooltip feature?
         1. this doesn’t exist as a hack yet… ambitious but possible if the same pattern as the Item Descriptions is used, in new freespace
   2. Job name changes
      1. Trainer to Tamer?
         1. aligns well w !Tame move (which was !Calm in RPGe)
      2. Hunter to Ranger?
         1. seems OK, I have no major reason not to
   3. 2bpp Font, set up new fontpacks:
      1. Chicago6
      2. ???
   4. New optional patches:
      1. 2x exp/ABP/gil (by C_CliFF + clymax)
      2. spin off “Steal Buff” into optional (nerf Hella Clean)
   5. Finish RPGe translation & slight revision

   Clean Script, Etc patch

   Fresh Script v1 (incomplete)

3. Vibe code a webapp to turn midi files into ASM for FF4 rom 🤞

4. FFV Clean ~v2

• further ideas for optional patches:
• even further revision ideas…

👆 these are just so I can keep track of WTH to do 😹

Software Dev Notes

These have almost nothing to do with romhacking. Almost nothing…
