Thats why I have 4 back up original roms in completely different locations  It prevents me from ever screwing up totally. |

Eh?  It should go without saying, but perhaps I'd better say it anyway to clear this up. Except for DWTLC (which specifically required making the patch that way for legal reasons because I converted the SMW ROM to a size larger than 4MB), there is currently no reason for anyone to require using Lunar Expand on SMW.
Yes, a few people can get an expanded ROM to load with a messed up patch that won't load otherwise... but the ROM is still going to be corrupt as that doesn't correct the underlying problem : the patch!
If several people say your patch isn't working, 9 times out of 10 it's because you've used the wrong files to create it, so that's the first thing you should be checking. It's fairly easy to accidently modify your original ROM with LM or apply a patch to it and then forget about it, so be careful.
And I'm not saying this just for Clockworkz... I've noticed a few people make bad patches recently. A little bit of extra care can save yourself (and others) a needless headache.

I can, but all the sprites are garbled and in the wrong places. |

Ummm... I dunno what to tell you. I patched it like I've always patched things...
Can you open the ROM in Lunar Magic? |

I'm pretty handy with the overworld editor myself, I just need a basic idea of what you want and I'll gladly do it for you if you want. |

This is meant to be a complaint-fix for the most part, but I do have a very big problem. My overworld is giving me a migrane. It is on the IPS patch on my website, http://www.freewebs.com/clockworkzgaming/index.htm
Anyone who can help, I will open up my hack to and give you credit. I consulted the help guide too, just so you know |
