Any one know of any good documentation relating to the wide spectrum of nes rom hacking? Anything from sprite extracing/inserting and pallete hacking, to learning ASM and NSF. I found some already that look like they should be a good read. they are...

zdawg's NES rom hacking document, version .65

Title Screen Hacking Made Easy v1.00 by InVerse

The Definitive Guide to ROM Hacking for Complete Beginners v1.00 by InVerse

THE MADHACKER'S GUIDE TO NES POINTERS version 1.1

How to start hacking your own ROMs by Kasady

Im trying to get as many as i can so i can read them all and study them all at one time without looking for more documentation. If it helps, im doing a hack of Mega Man 5. Any more help or leads would be appreciative.

Thanks,
steve

To be honest, the documents never really helped me, I learned most of what I know by reading the documents, getting the editors they listed, and messing around until I got skillful enough to make a hack.

The editors I use:

WindHex32: Great hex editor, supports multiple tables, kana searching, etc.
YY-CHR: The best tile editor in many aspects, allows you to reorder the tiles in various patterns, inporting palettes, etc. It's only flaws are that some antivirus program flags it as a trojan for some reason and it doesn't support SNES 3BPP mode.

Yeah, that's it, other than game-specific editors.

Don't get me wrong, some of the advanced documents can be useful, but you're better off just using them as a reference and learning the basics yourself (Whatever you do, don't use an outdated program because a document tells you to, most of the documents are ancient)
