GBS Question

[therewster1996]

I posted this before, I think, but I don't remember it being resolved satisfactorily. I'm trying to deal with some GBS files (game music for Game Boy and Game Boy Color), and I'm trying to write the name out of the game (I don't like abbreviations), but it won't let me write it all the way across. (I.e., "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening"--the last word might come across as "Awak" or something like that.) Also, if I try to shorten it, say, to "Link's Awakening," then I wind up with that name in the playlist display followed by a vast amount of space before the hyphen- track number bit.

So how I do I stretch the text capacity out more when I need to use more letters for a longer name and/or how do I eliminate all the useless spaces for shorter names?

(Also, what's the program I download to edit these names in the first place? I recently had to replace my old laptop and don't remember the program I used to do that initially.)

Thanks!

You need a hex editor for it. http://www.romhacking.net/utils/291/WindHex32</a> should do fine. You can't make the name longer, this is a limitation of the gbs header. If you go with a short name, you need to fill the extra spaces with hex 00, and not a space (which is hex ff).
