I don't know why, but I have the ExGrafics folder in the same folder as the ROM I'm hacking, but Lunar Magic won't recognize any .bin file in there. I'm trying to import a Mouser I found and I renamed the .bin file to ExGFX80.bin. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that the ExGraphics folder is named "ExGraphics" and in the same directory as your ROM.

Also, remember to extract and reinsert regular graphics before inserting ExGFX.

Alright, the folder is named ExGraphics and is in the same folder where the ROM is. So maybe my problem is the second part of your advice. Could you try and be a little more specific, please? What regular graphics do I have to extract and reinsert before I can insert the ExGFX? How I know which sprite was edited to make the Mouser in question that I found?

You would need to have inserted the Mouser sprite with Sprite Tool. You have done that, right?

Just to elaborate, he means that the sprite (not the sprite's graphics) need to be inserted via spritetool.
Also, to reiterate, ensure that the names of your exgraphics files read something like "exgfx###" also, you need them set to the correct sprite tilemap in Lunar Magic.

Yeah, I renamed the .bin file in that format. I just didn't know that detail about the Spritetool insertion. I'll get right on it. Thanks for the help!
