How to Edit Text in Sega Genesis Games
While you can't edit the text in the actual Sega Genesis game cartridge, you can edit the text in the game's ROM. A Sega Genesis game read-only memory (ROM) is an exact copy of the game in a computer format. Using a hex editor that changes the binary language of computers into hexadecimal language that is easier to read and understand you can find the text hex string and edit it to say what you want. Every Genesis ROM is different and will have the text information at a different hex string.
