    I think you need to checkout the menu description pointer in hex maniac advance , probably the pointer which shows the menu description is changed to some other offset
     
    I'm on mobile, I don't know how to do that
    Try to find out the start menu descriptions pointer for FR online and just use a hex editor and try to check if that's not the same as it should be
     
    Can you help me find it?
    You overwrote the tiles of that textbox with some new data. Those tiles contain a lot of 0xFFs so tools can mistake them for free space and overwrite them. Only use offsets larger than 0x720000 when looking for free space.

    The tiles are located at 0x4566A8, you could open the rom in a hex editor and restore the data to how it is in an unchanged rom.
    However, doing so will mess up whatever data you have inserted there, possibly causing other problems.

    I recommend repointing the textbox:
    1. Copy 0x280 bytes starting at 0x4566A8 from an unedited rom
    2. Insert them somewhere in free space in your rom
    3. Change the pointer at 0x112FC8 to point to the newly inserted data

    Also you should definitely make frequent backups of your rom because these kinds of issues are often very difficult to fix.
