Essential programs and tools
To change the alphabet in the rom, you need a tile editor. Currently, only Tile Molester can show the letters in Kick off 2. FEIDIAN could also do the trick but it's not a tile editor. It extracts and inserts graphics from roms. To edit the text in the game and for the IFF replacement, you need a hex editor that supports tables, like Thingy32. For the IFF extraction you only need a hex editor, it doesn't matter if it supports tables. I like Hex Workshop. You may want a program only for viewing IFF pictures in windows. ACDC supports IFFs, just don't use it for editing because it saves them as large files. You'll also need ADFView, a great program that is a Windows Explorer extension to support adf files. You'll be able to open adf files in windows explorer as if they were folders and also see adf properties. You'll need an Amiga emulator, UAE or Fellow. Finally, you need a graphics editing program that fully supports IFFs. That could be any version of Deluxe Paint. You should run this under the Amiga emulator unless you find the PC remake. Pen and paper. Together with the Ko2 hacking tutorial, come the following files:
