Hey I want to make a SMB2 hack, I've Hacked SMW, Sonic Adventure and Zelda 3(very small hacking jobs) and now I want to make a real game with SMB2, I need to know,

Where can I get a program that extracts the GFX from a rom let's me edit them and then can compact them again.
Where can I get a SMB2 level Editor

Reasons why i would like to hack SMB2, I could have 4 different characters, instead of just mario, I've allready decided who i'll be using(I'm not telling anyone yet)
Even if there isn't a Level Editor for SMB2, I still need a program that can de-compress and compress graphics.

Thanks for your time.

I don't know about a graphics extractor / inserter. I imagine you should just be able to open the ROM in YY-CHR or something similar, but the graphics may be compressed

The only SMB2 editor I know of is here. There's one I remember seeing someone post a thread on while I was lurking here called 'DreamWeaver' I believe (yes, I'm well aware that's a webpage design program as well ), so maybe someone knows exactly what became of that

Nebetsu beat me to it, but here's a link to the Graphics Hacking Utilites page on Zophar. YY-CHR is right down near the bottom

Note that when you open the ROM, in the lowest drop down list (it'll say 'Normal' by default), you have to select 'FC/NES x16', if you want the graphics to show up proper

Yeah those were fun days. When ZFGC was still entertaining to go to. I used to have so much influence there. Now when I make a topic there, it's usualy ignored. Yeah... "I LOVE KIRIONA777". That was a fun day. Made one of the biggest topics ever in ZFGC. lol.

Anyways: add me to your AIM or MSN or something.

None of the graphics are compressed; a simple tile editor (Tile Layer Pro, YY-CHR, whathaveyou) are all usable for this.

The SMB2 Discombobulator* is probably the best (uh, wait; only) SMB2 editor out there, so use that one. Good luck figuring it out though; it's not easy (I've tried, and failed, many times)

If you want smooth animations. Try this. This changes the animations to 8 screens instead of 7. It'd be good in combonation to using YY-CHR because you can tell where the next animation will be. You may have to edit the 8th animation frame a bit, but I don't think you do.

Plan on putting any ASM hacks into it using FCEUXD? *since it's the easiest things to figure out that kind of stuff right now* Eh, maybe if you figure out how to use it, you'll put some in eventually .

It takes some time to learn ASM, you usually can't just look at an editor and whip up even a small one in 3.2 seconds

I have to agree with XKeeper, SMB2D is the best editor to use even if it is a pain in the ass to use. I really wish Acmlm or someone else would finish it up, but I really doubt it.
