Have fun hacking some text. ;D
Note that if you go over the end of the text (04 command) and end it after that, it may cause the text to be in an infinite loop. And some text doesn't like being edited to have different length text boxes, e.g. the Goron who tells you not to eat him.

There you go, but next time check the forums before requesting something like this, because this thread is old.

When I go to load up ZTE it gives me the error Cannot find Vbrun300.dll I'm using vista and when I downloaded it, It said it was perfect with vista so wtf?

[shadowfan001]

Uh hello i am new to this and uhh y'know it's kinda complicating so uh can you uh explain to me Uhhh i guess more about this uuuhhh hex thing

[Darkness12345]

sorry if i posted in an old thread but if these are codes shouldnt' this be on the codes page?

[snotskie]

OLD POST!
NO STICKY!
BAD!

Yes, this is a rather old thread.

And the reason why this isn't in another page is because of a few re-arrangements we've made since this was originally posted.

[Sesu Reinoruzu]

And it is not actually a code in the sense of a Gameshark code, it is for hex.

[BlankedOut]

Errr...
Don't know if this is useless or not..but..
Something else AGAIN I found whilest digging around my old stuff I saved from the ZSO days.
If it is un-necessary, just tell me, I'll delete the post, kay?
