Yeah this readme file is really crappy... A better one will come in the next version.
Here is a detailed list of every little thing I changed in the ROM. This is copy-pasted
from my notes so don't expect it to be very readable. The information on my hack page
(currently http://mmbno.com/?act=hack) is probably much better.

The version of the ROM I have is called Ind-RMEXE 4.5-J. I will include a checksum in the
near future.

Progress:
- Menu
- Titles in Menu (subchips doesn't work??)
- Table Complete?
- Pseudo English of all Standard Chips
- Some codes
In newfonts.gba:
- Inserted lowercase font for Big fonts
- Chips in lowercase
- Pseudo English for all Mega and Giga Chips (?)
- ScriptDump complete and working
- Tweaked PseudoEnglish for StandardChips
  - Every chip basically translated except Hayabu chips
- Worked on what final names of chips will be (newchips.txt)
- DTE for Thick fonts!
 - works in library and equipment screen (not battle yet)
- fixed dte in newfonts_a
- rearranged thin font
- translated "Zenny" and "BugFrags" on menu
  - need to remove symbol after bugfrags
    - at 636396.. must be same length in bytes or everything else dies
    - moved digits after it up and B/W work and nothing seems to be broken
      should keep in mind if something turns up broken
- pseudo english for rockman's equipment
- translated a few web location names (internetx)
- battle results screen graphics and tilemap!
- psuedo for subchips (DTE doesn't work here either)
- checked fonts and they are consistent
- pseudo for email boxes
- pseudo for save screen (fix J after cup.. like bugfrags)
- wrote FontView to view small font and rearranged small font
  - newfonts_c
- wrote DTECount, optimized newchips.txt, and adjusted DTE routine and table
- fixed ScriptDump to work for DTE and inserted newchips.txt (adjusted tiny bit)
- fixed freeze in newfonts_c, backed up in newfonts
- added SP and DS tiles in both big fonts (and in tables)
  - may need to be added in other fonts
- made DTECount very uber and redid DTE table (WAY smaller now!)
- translated almost all of first chip offset using bn4 tut and inserted
- pseudo for all of second chip offset and translated all of chips there
- DTE for in battle routine!!!
  - note: to fix savestates load newmem.dmp at 300684a
- DTE for small font!!
  - problem I was having was conflicting routines, two ram areas fixed it
- tweaked area names from intrnet to internet
- numberman game graphics
  - big start graphic, success graphic
- in shops translated "items"
  - used tile from bugfrags.. but it is a duplicate so tilemap can be hacked
    if needed (x705624ish)
- hacked font to one from BN4 not everything though
- hacked font width-table, still need numbers, punctation ect..
  - thanks xdaniel!
- fixed a few chip translations, now all standard, mega, and giga are right
  - find out what Marking is..
- Inserted punctuation from BN4 and fixed some spacing
- Hacked some text on menu.. not at all final versions.. tests really
- Replaced font table with one from BN4 (a few tests.. it looks good)
    - bn4 font table at x515f4
- Changed some text in new game setup.. not final
- Date and Time input graphics. Changed zeros to O's (looks better).
  Changed kanji for day of week to 3 letter abbreviations
- Fixed error in Virii pointer table.. (are there more errors?)
- BN4.5Ed now inserts successfully!
- Fixed BN4.5Ed's insertion (hopefully for good) 
- Translated a bit of new game start
- Translated most of new game start, some tweaks still needed
- Translated Day Kanji for Menu Screen
  - Stays on Sunday..?
- Translated navis names (added to BN4.5Ed)
  - Not enough room so left of some "Man"s. Maybe adjust DTE table.
  - Decide if should use MegaMan or Megaman. Also if should abbreviate at all.
- Tried to add Rockman's dialog to BN4.5Ed
  - Added someone else?
