Go to romhacking.net, to the utilities section, and click hex editors in the category menu. There's a lot of them, I prefer WindHex32, it's pretty easy to use. But it sounds like you don't know exactly what a hex editor is(if you do, I apologize for misinterpretting your posts, and probably insulting your intelligence) and if that's true, you'd best not just open it up, it's not like an editor, you need to know what you want to do, and have at least a good idea of how to do it. I have no knowledge of how adding room data to Super Metroid would be done, except you'd need to either find a lot of empty space or expand the rom, and edit a pointer to go there.

alright then.. i have another question then how can you change the pallete of a room for ex. Your editing something in norfair but you want to add object from Tourain. How do you add more door's too a room as in. Also how do you increase the size of the room without going over the Data Limit? And whats the point of switching pallet's? sorry for all the questions..

i normally avoid going over data limits by keeping rooms the same size or if i make them larger i keep them simple. the point of changing pallettes is, as an example, theres a maridia room that you want to use in norfair to add bulk, you change the pallette to norfairs.

http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Products/home/hex-editor-free.html is a link to a free hex editor, its not the full version but it should get done what you want to do. i always create a back up file of my ROM before using hex, just to be safe. so to what i know, this may not be exact, you have to:

1) look at the yellow pull-down menu in SMILE, those are the hex addresses of all the rooms, find the room you want to duplicate (you will be able to change it later) and look at the address, remember that and the address of the next room.

2)open the ROM in the hex editor, go to the address of the room you want to duplicate (and $200 bytes further if your ROM has a header), copy the bytes up untill the address of the next room (again, $200 bytes further if the ROM has a header), and paste them into an empty space ('ff's) in the same bank.

3) open the smile/files/mdb in notepad, this is a list of all the room addresses that SMILE uses, add the address of your room to it (if your ROM has a hearder, add the address that is $200 bytes before it).

4)when you open SMILE, your room should be in the yellow pull-down list, it will look exactly like the room you copied. if im right you can now edit this room and its doors ect. into your own room.

theres no need to say sorry, if you need help you need help, though someone should make a thread that everyone uses for SMILE questions, that way the forum doesnt turn into list of SMILE threads
