Title: Looking for a hint on patching Phantis binary to redfine menu keys.
Post by: DieSkaarj on 22:31, 23 November 21

Hi everyone,

My name is David. I'm close to completing an English patch for the original release of Game Over II, Phantis. The only thing that's holding me back is that I can't figure out a way to change the menu keys from T >> K and E >> S and I was wondering if anyone here could provide some insight on how to do that. The tools I'm using are a hex editor and Caprice32. I'm a bit out of my depth here to be honest and any help will be well received.
You can find the patches in their current form on github: https://github.com/DieSkaarj/PhantisEnglishPatch (https://github.com/DieSkaarj/PhantisEnglishPatch)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

These are the hardware scancodes comparisons:
&9DA0 CP &3A ; "E" key --> CP &3C
&9DA5 CP &2D ; "J" key
&9DC3 CP &33 ; "T" key --> CP &25
&9DF6 CP &26 ; "M" key
