News:

Use of ePSXe before 2.0 is highly discouraged. Mednafen, RetroArch, and Duckstation are recommended for playing/testing, pSX is recommended for debugging.


So I can change what spells do but...

Can I change the description text of the spell in the ability menu?

For example:

I changed Ramza's spell Cheer Up to cast a AOE Chakra to all allies in the target field.

But the description of the spell still reads like the old spell reads. I want to be able to read a custom description of the spell.

Not something I can live with out, but is it possible??

Yes just find the file you want to change in the text editor but beware until the update you have to be careful with your edits as far as number of characters and spaces.

Not that I know of ask Lydyn he has a tutorial guide but I find it's pretty straight forward.

Strait forward, lol. To a newbie like me that's subjective. K I'll see what I come up with.

Well I wasn't a noob to programming when I started but I was a noob as far as the software goes I picked it up in less than a day.

K, so I can make an ISo an burn an img copy to my hard drive an export files, though I don't think I can import said files but one problem at a time.

Trouble is I see nothing in the FFTpatcher that will edit spells text. Any help, or at the least the start of the process would be greatly appreciated.

Ah, if you're using the newest one, it didn't come with FFTactext, but I'd hold tight for a while, Melonhead in the near future (two or three weeks) will be releasing a far superior text editor, but... if you'd like to use the normal one, download an older version of FFTPatcher.
