GREAT WORK JP!!! But a couple of things:

1: Can Anyone give me a hack for changing the
NINTENDO PRESENTS logo to a intro/part of a title screen
like one of ice man's hacks (SMW returns i think)? (Optional, as i might rip it later!)

2: Anyone can help make a ASM/TSA hack where
I can use a gun instead of your hand?

3: Make a Hack where a throw block can not change color,
(And the color must be both yellow and blue,
and make it seprate hacks, please!)

Now i cant find the Throw block colors and routine,
as I can find other sprites easily

Okay. My idea was a lot easier than I thought.

This patch gives Luigi his own tilemap. It's not fully tested, so backup your rom before applying the patch. Also, make sure that $100000-$1001FF in the rom is empty. If it isn't, you can't use this patch.

As you might have guessed, my tilemap editor doesn't support editing Luigi's tilemap.
To edit Luigi's tilemap, make a copy of the rom. Then open your hex editor and copy the data at $100070-$1001EF to $620C-$638B. Now, edit the tilemap in the editor. When you're done, copy the data at $620C-$638B to $100070-$1001EF. Then copy the data at $620C-$638B in the copy of the rom to the same location in the real hack.

I'm afraid that it's written in a sweet, but pretty unknown language called Blitz Basic. (The compiler costs money, by the way, but I got a free (but very outdated) version of it in a PC magazine.) However, if you want me to, I can give you the code and add explainations and such stuff.

I think that the data at $100070 to $1001EF and $620C to $638B it´s the same.

Yes, it´s the same , look:
Data at $100070-$1001EF:

-data-

That´s the data, and when I go to the address $620C to $638B I find...
The same data !!!

Hmm... Thinking about the entire concept of the edit, it should be simple. Here's how I would do it...

First, I would track the routine that loads Mario's graphics into VRAM. Add a compare to the RAM byte that stores current character/game mode (1P or 2P, Mario or Luigi... etc). Then I would make a copy of that loading routine, and set up a branch table that chooses between the character art to load depending on character. Then I'd do the same at the routine that loads the seperate pallette for Luigi... Which should cover it all. I'd do the same for mappings if needed.

That's putting it vaguely though. I'd like to hear the methods of the rest of you who did it, in case I'm makig bad use of the engine. Truthfully, I've never touched a SMB ROM, but I figure since this is how I did it in my Sonic hack, it should work in a relatively similar way.
