To change the alphabet in the rom, you need a [[tile editor]]. Currently, only [[Tile Molester]] can show the letters in Kick off 2. [[FEIDIAN]] could also do the trick but it's not a [[tile editor]]. It extracts and inserts [[graphics]] from [[roms]].
To edit the [[text]] in the game and for the [[IFF]] replacement, you need a [[hex editor]] that supports [[tables]], like [[Thingy32]].
For the [[IFF]] extraction you only need a [[hex editor]], it doesn't matter if it supports [[tables]]. I like [[Hex Workshop]].
You may want a program only for viewing [[IFF]] pictures in windows. [[ACDC]] supports IFFs, just don't use it for editing because it saves them as large files.
You'll also need [[ADFView]], a great program that is a Windows Explorer extension to support [[adf]] files. You'll be able to open [[adf]] files in windows explorer as if they were folders and also see [[adf]] properties.
You'll need an [[Amiga emulator]], [[UAE]] or [[Fellow]].
Finally, you need a graphics editing program that fully supports IFFs. That could be any version of [[Deluxe Paint]]. You should run this under the [[Amiga emulator]] unless you find the PC remake.
Pen and paper.
Together with the Ko2 hacking tutorial, come the following files:
