Last view: 4534 days 		Hey. All of the palette changes I've made so far for my hack in Hyrule Magic seem to get adapted except for the sword palette. Does anyone know why? I don't have a clue whatsoever. All other changes are applied immediately and effectively except for the sword. Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Well, I tried starting a new quest and just putting the 4th sword in the first chest in Link's house, and the palette change took effect. However, why won't the effect take place on a rom with a save state? Doesn't the save state also reflect the changes in the rom?

That is your whole misconception and therefore problem. Generally speaking to see changes in a savestate that existed before the ROM was edited you need to get the game to reload the data from ROM (either by playing the game a certain way, or doing some sort of of RAM manipulation / cheat code to cause that to happen. In your case, save + quit and then reloading the save game file from within the game (not a savestate) *should* work, iirc.

Yeah, I saw that when I reedited it and started the game all over. When I placed the 4th sword in the chest in Link's house, I saw the palette change. Thanks for clearing that misconception on my behalf.

Well, I did just that, which is my new problem. I saw that, for example, the 4th sword still had palette issues. I saved ingame and loaded it from the main menu and I still got the same palette. It's not that it's driving me nuts, but I want to see if this palette change hurts anything else, like with what happens to me with Link's boots after I changed Link's clothes palette (discussed in another topic).
