What should be the exact size of the title screen and color depth of the fonts ? I'm going to use a Hard Rock cafe font for my hack. I got it to once work but it was a background pic and had almost screwed up the hack early last spring.
p.s. when importing to yy-chr how exactly should it be cut up to fit in the allgfx.bin file ? Thanks for any help |

Like all SNES roms, the entire screen is
-256x224 pixels -32x28 tiles (8x8) -16x14 tiles (16x16) The graphics sets are all -128x64 pixels -16x8 tiles (8x8) I'm not sure what you're implying about the "color depth" of any particular "font" (as the game doesn't use any fonts) there are a total of 14 editable colors and 2 basic colors (transparent and white). I don't recommend that you use yy-chr to slap on your graphics as this can cause some serious palette problems and more painstaking adjustments to make, but you don't have to take my word for it. |

This is what's going into your hack (with a little minor change or so):

Thank you for the help. |

The title is on layer 3, so you only get 4 colours per tile, and one is transparent. However you can use some tricks to put it on layer 1 or 2, for 16 colours:
1) SMB1-style. The title scrolls away with the rest of the level. 2) No scrolling. 
3) Title on layer 1, level and "fake" background (using passable blocks, HDMA colours, layer 3 etc) on layer 2, with some ASM hacks (custom sprites would do) to automatically scroll layer 1 so it stays on the screen. 4) ASM fun - title is sprites, upload new sprites to VRAM in HBlank. With methods 2, 3 and 4 you could still put some additional tiles on layer 3, to e.g. fake 19 colours per tile or create special effects. One hack I saw, possibly a beta of Super Mario Odyssey, used method 2 with a mask. That is, on layer 1 was a monochrome bitmap of the title - solid black with the game's name spelled out in transparent pixels. It had a gold texture scroll by below on layer 2. This made it look like the title was gold and shimmering. Pretty cool. |

Posted by HyperHackerLast time I checked, VRAM could only be acessed during Vblank or forced blank |

Posted by HyperHacker Actually, I believe it was the large silver text, but yes you're right. Also: AFAIK VRAM *can* be accessed, but it might cause graphical corruption mid-render as teh GFX for an object change as it's being drawn. Not fun 
One good place to upload sprites woudl be during NMI |

You can't upload new sprites in hblank.
(And even if you could, you wouldn't have enough cycles to make it worth your time) ____________________ Zelda Hacking Forum hobbies: delectatio morosa |

What? No fair. Even the Game Boy could do that. |

Posted by HyperHackerIf I renember correctly, even the NES could  (SMB3 do it when it reach the status bar). I was very pissed when I noticed I couldn't do it since I was in the process of attempting to DMA new layer 3 graphics once the game reach the end of the status bar |

Yeah, I had considered that idea before (but with palettes, not graphics), but since the layers are all drawn at once, it wouldn't have worked anyway.
I don't think NES could, but the MMC3 chip that SMB3 used provided some such function. |
