When I have this patched after the '1 or 2 player patch' and the VWF dialogues patch, the ROM results in the black screen.

This is how the patch is:

Asar specific

It's because the SRAM size byte in the ROM is set to 03 when you apply the SRAM Expand patch. Because the VWF Dialogue patch needs 128kb of SRAM, it needs to be set to 07.

To fix it, simply change the !SRAMSize define to 07 and reapply the SRAM Expand patch.

Yes, !SRAMSize is indeed bogus. What gave you the idea that $FF is a valid value there?
Set it back to $02, then reapply the VWF patch. My edit of the SRAM expand patch won't touch that value if the value already there is larger; the VWF patch is more agressive and will put its size there no matter what you do.

It's fixed but it pulls random values from the beginning into the specific RAM addresses.

Here's the code (updated)

Try removing the .srm file.
If that doesn't work, set SRAM size to $02 and reapply the patch.
If that doesn't help either, give me the ROM and I'll check where the overlap is.

(When I changed the !SRAMSize define, it loads completely different values)

Replace this LDA with LDA.l. I must've missed it when converting the patch; I'll fix it as soon as I can (some of the intertubes appear to be clogged right now).

I didn't even see it fixed. I must have changed it just shortly after you changed it *embarassed*

Hope has been restored. ~~No, seriously, I should be a branded pest by now.~~
