    yeah there is a way but its not very straightforward. Extracting the rom contents is one thing, but reading and editing the files inside it is a different thing entirely.

    With DSLazy. - http://www.ds-scene.net/?s=download#middle

    It unpacks the rom and you can then open the files.

    If that's what you mean?

    You need to study up on ROM Hacking then. You need to go either to romhacking.net or gbatemp.

    Once on either site you have to go search on their documentations section to find articles that could help you out. I'm just going to warn you though to NOT even try & ask for help on RHDN's forums for tips & guides as the people there are all elitist dickheads :p

    They'll just shove several documentation threads at you, most of which are not helpful at all. So yeah, good luck with your "project", I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into.

    I posted that on my post :p

    Didn't you see romhacking.net which is highlighted because I used the "url" tags so the name can be clickable?
