Imagineering_golomb.py -c <outFile> <romFile> <tblFile>
Imagineering_golomb.py -v show version.
The program doesn't handle many exceptions, so try to provide the correct information to avoid issues. For more information, read the attached readme.txt.
The attached files and instruccions are for Barbie (USA).nes, but you can change it, I recommend using my settings in file game_config.txt
First copy all files in the same directory of the ROM, use "extract text.bat", it will a file script.bin, Then edit the text and graphics use encode.tbl file. Once you're done, simply open "insert text.bat" and it will automatically insert the text.
Of course, there's no need to ask. Feel free to use it in your project. I only ask that you mention me.
