This should be all of the text in the game. There's surprisingly not that much, but I think hacking it will be pretty annoying...

== Action list ==
This is a full list of actions and the descriptions associated with them. Although the game shows descriptions for every part, some descriptions are used for more than one attack, and actual attack names are only shown when the part is used in-battle.
The "Hex" column here refers to the value for "B" on head and arm parts above. The attack name (for attacking actions) is decided by the value for "P", regardless of which attack is actually being done. The names for non-attacking actions on this list are just the standard names used on this wiki, which mostly come from the later games.

Actions 1F, 21, 24, 25, 27, 2B, 2C, and 2F-36 aren't used, and their associated descriptions are blank.
''*'' [[Samurai]]'s beam swords use action 02 (Laser), but the attack name is set to "Beam". This actually makes a slight difference, because Beam attacks can be completely blocked by Negate Optical, but Laser attacks can only have their damage reduced by 3/4. (Basically, it's slightly weaker than it claims to be.)
''**'' Action 1B isn't used by any parts in the game, but it's associated with the only unused part description. Based on the description and its placement on the list, it was probably meant to be a "Negate All" action, and maybe removed because it made the other Negate actions obsolete.
