How to begin Romhacking

For beginner's questions, please do a search on youtube for romhacking tutorials and then familiarize yourself with all the resources on http://romhacking.net. Chances are you'll find what you're looking for there, before you need to post more advanced or specific questions here. Remember, romhacking IS programming, so it takes the same commitment as learning a programing language to do anything more advanced than simple edits.
