About ROM Editor:

This is a program made to edit ROM's for the SNES(SMC files).  I currently have
it locked so that only SMC files will work. (Those that figured out how to by-
pass this lock, kudos.)  This is an uncomplete version of the product, but it
does let's you translate and change any SMC file.  If you have the patience to
work through the SMC file you can translate any game.  I have include partially
translated NIC files for "Chrono Trigger", "Lost Vikings 1 & 2", and "Secret of
Mana."  This let's you change your own SMC files on your own computer, but
unfortunately you can't make IPS files to send to friends yet.  I'm still working
on it.

********************************************************************************

Setup for ROM Editor:

The program itself can be put anywhere on your computer, but any NIC files need
to be put in the same directory as the game file you're editing.  The name of
the SMC and NIC file's have to be the same as well.  So if you want to edit
"Chrono Trigger" you need to first put the NIC file in the same directory as the
"Chrono Trigger" SMC file.  Then, If your SMC file is named "Chrono.smc" and the
NIC file is "ChnTrggr.nic" then you need to rename either file so that they are
both named the same.

For Example:	  "Chrono.smc" and "Chrono.nic"
				or
		"ChnTrggr.smc" and "ChnTrggr.nic"

********************************************************************************

In this program:

Edit Current Line:
	WARNING: THIS WILL PERMANENTLY CHANGE THE SMC FILE!!!!!
	This let's you edit the ROM itself. It let's you scroll though your NIC
	translation to pick what character you want to change.
Edit NIC Translation:
	This let's you change the NIC file so that the SMC file will make more
	sense.  If you see the line "Chrono Tri^^er" then you can change the NIC
	file to change the ^ symbols to "g" so that it reads easier.
Find:
	Uses the NIC translation and searches for the word(s) in the SMC file.
	Will only work it you have the whole word you are looking for translated
	in the NIC file.
Find Next:
	Well, Duh!!! This looks for the next occurrence of a previous search.
Create IPS File:
	Not available yet.
Merge IPS File:
	Not available yet.
GoTo:
	If you know what line in the file you want to go to the you can type in
	the number and go straight there.
Exit:
	Um, I think this closes the program.

********************************************************************************

In the near future:

Initial Search:
	This will let you enter known word(s) to search for and then tries all
	combinations of letters to see if it can find your word(s).  It then
	sets the NIC file to match the translation.
Create IPS File:
	This will compare two SMC files (your edited version & the original) and
	then make an IPS file that contains all of your changes.  You can then
	send this small file to a friend who can then Merge the IPS file.
Merge IPS File:
	This will use an IPS file made by you or a friend and use it to change
	your SMC file so that it looks like the changed version.
