Hello, can anyone convert the unlock all characters code into a rom patch? Thanks in advance

Would it even be possible? IIRC some (all?) of the 3D Namco games of that era use compressed data (as in, the ROM data itself is compressed, not meaning zip/7z files) so you would have to find a way to decompress it and then use the same compression afterwards to make it fit in the ROMs again (assuming the uncompressed data is larger than the ROMs themselves). I think Tekken Tag also uses some sort of protection as well, which is why it took so long to emulate.

If it isn't possible that's unfortunate but understandable, figured it would be a matter of converting the cheat into a ROM address and changing a hex value from "locked" to "unlocked"
