Allright, so we got Anony's MMC3 hack that has just the graphics animation thingies (and I guess a support function), and on the other hand we have BBit's hack... Hmm...
Not to take this too much off-topic, but what about those custom enemies I've seen recently? Lemme get the link...
Edit: Oh, that too was Anony's. You should write a tutorial on this stuff. |

A pre-MMC3ified SMB1 IPS.
I kind of already put one together here:
http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=17309
Just download the source to that and read about it, I even copied a huge chunk of the expanded rom to expansion ram, for easy access. Just remove that duck tales 2 music thing, and add more chr rom... and there you go. |

I know, Anony. I expected as much when I read the readmes and noticed the filler bytes being mentioned. |

It's suppossed to blink. For the banks-already-inserted patches I didn't want to transfer the copyrighted stuff. I just made it 00's with MMC3 or FF's with CNROM. |

Well, I have CNROM animation patches (4 frames & 8 frames, banks inserted or not) that work for BGs/blocks and sprites. I also have MMC3 animation animation patches (8 extra frames, banks inserted or not) that only work for BGs/blocks. |

Ofcourse, there's the whole legality issue with the copyrighted code/data getting moved.
ROM Hacking removes the copyrighted level data/GFX and stuff.
If that's true, Rom hacking should be illegal.
In fact, it is illegal. It's just that Nintendo isn't losing money, the police are lazy etc...

If you really want to animate, come to SMW hacking lol |

The short answer:
You can't. Live with the graphic space limits in SMB1 or pick another ROM to hack.
The long answer:
Adding more graphics to SMB1 is quite a task. SMB1 already uses the maximum allowed PRG/CHR space for a mapperless ROM -- in order to add more space you'd have to add a mapper and expand. That means much much more than just changing the mapper number in the header.
This requires a decent level of 6502 familiarity and a detailed understanding of the target mapper -- as you will not only be moving code in the game around and changing stuff -- you will also be adding new code to the mix.
Of course expanding the ROM will more than likely prevent it from working in whatever level editor you're using -- so that's another thing you have to consider. |

I don't know how to do it! i tried to switch the smb1 rom to a mmc3 driver,
But it killed my hack! Help is needed for me right now,
P.S. i only need a 4 frame animation engine, like in the original SMB3 |
