Eh, probably not, but if you keep the data format the same (as say the maps in the original game), then you can edit them from Lunar Magic and then copy the data into the correct place in your ROM. |

Yeah, I've done that before for SMB3, in changing starting screen and x positions of Mario's start space. Only that I had to use a bunch of JSR's and JMP's to go to my added code (by inserting them into the game's original code at certain points), because I had to change so many individual functions (the part where Mario starts, the part where Mario at game over goes to the start space on the same screen he got game over at, the two parts where Mario goes offscreen to the screen where the start space is at game over (and the part in between those two parts), the part that determines whether Mario stays on the screen or not, and the part where he stays on the same screen that calculates how much he must go each frame and in which direction). Depending on what you're trying to accomplish and how many functions deal with it, Red_Oxygen, you may only need to JSR once or JMP and JSR several times to several parts of your hack. |

best and most easiest thing would be: Let LM do the expanding work for you, and just edit the game in there.
and about bigger Overworld, read the other thread for that. |

You put code and graphics and other things into the epanded space. Then you use pointers to tell the game that those exra things are actually there. |

well how do you use that expanded space? |

7E1F11 is a RAM address, not a ROM address. |

Can you just clone the overworld (7E1F11) to the empty space and alter that? |
