if the size of your EB ROM is now 4MB that's because it expanded it

Quoteo, genius, why don't you drag and drop the ROM into the EXE

Because when i do that a blank dos prompt appears on screen for a second and then nothing happens.

I'd try EBExpand to expand your ROM to 4MB with little text block marks, then Lunar Expand to make it hit 6MB. That's what I do, anyway.

The EB hacking community is weird because we want to keep our patches as small as possible because we all have 56Ks. I think it'd be better if we just made the sacrifice of adding 3MB of empty space to the patches to make the original ROM bigger.

When you expand the rom, what do you expand it from and expand it to?

It's going on a year since this project was started on another forum, but I wanted to showcase it to a bigger ROM hacking community.

STORY: In Galena, OH, an Xbox 360 lands on a hill (Political Pear, thanks for the idea!) and a teenager named Jordan investigates. After going, an Xbox 360 controller tells him he is destined to destroy Bill Gates before he takes over Earth in 2009. As he goes through cities, he gets friends to help him defeat Bill Gates.

First and foremost, the "gas station" intro is replaced with the Blue Screen Of Death. In the attachments, there is a screen shot.

Second, all of the window "flavors" were completely changed. They are now Normal, Grape, Pumpkin, Cherry, and Blueberry.

Third, the PSI powers, of course, have altered names. Example, PSI Fire is now Burninate.

Fourth, close to all items have been changed. For now, it is just generic drug store ones.

Well, since I am finishing up the next patch, here's the newest one for the public...
