Locking NGPC game's menu to English

So, I've got a question, similar to yours. I have a Neo Geo Pocket Color game, I'm trying to get setup where the name entry screen only shows the english alphabet, is that possible? Anyone have a similar experience or expertise?

You might try asking in Retro Dev subforum. [Moved. --MOD]

Also, the answer is, you're going to have to modify the code of the menu through dis-assembly. You need to be very familiar with assembly-level coding on the platform to be successful with this, and it will take a good bit of time just to isolate the code and understand what it's doing in the first place.

Thanks, I didn't want to waste a thread for something so easily replied to, ya know? But again thanks. I know the disassembly part, I just don't have that skill. I'll see if Flavor does from Flashamasta.com.
