SMB3 Title Screen Editor

Posted by Kiokuffiib11
I'm doing some editing to the rom I'm working on.

I'm changing the words "Super Mario 2" to the Doki doki panic Kanji.

What you need to do, is run FCEUX, highlight each letter, write down the tile ID in order, and then open up a hex editor, and find a string with that, change the value in order then editing the tiles in that order in Tile layer pro.

Or Alternatively, you can use Nintendulator, turn on tile numbering, take a screen shot, and hex edit it, then open up a hex editor, and find a string with that, change the value in order then editing the tiles in that order in Tile layer pro.

I did the second.

I hope that helps.

That is the method I used to find the data... I already have pretty much all of it.

0x032B40 = Starting location of graphics in ROM where title screen data resides.
           Title Screen data is on a 8x8 grid on the entire screen, 32 tiles wide.
           Going left to right, that's a max of 32 bytes for one line of data.

           The data is comprised of a set of bytes arranged in a horizontal line
           in order from left to right. Each line has a 3 byte "header" for the
           porpose of identifying its placement.


  ---== Original SMB3 Title Screen Setup ==---

The first and second byte of each line are the position indicators. The second byte is the one that
changes the most; it's going to be your horizontal position. the first byte is equal to $FF amount
of the second byte for each increment of $01.

The third byte is for how long the line extends for. If there aren't enough bytes to specify tiles
for the entire length of the line, background tiles are used ($5C in PPU) to fill the rest up. 
If you move a line, usually you uncover what's "behind" those background tiles and you've got
to fill them back up again or else it will look like grandma's broccoli green bean casserole.

I notice that some lines have "00" at the end of it and some don't. 
I don't know what the significance is.

1010 1010 = AA

00 == All 4 blocks are palette 0
55 == All 4 blocks are palette 1
AA == All 4 blocks are palette 2
FF == All 4 blocks are palette 3
F0 == 2 top blocks palette 1, 2 bottom blocks palette 3

Blocks form palette combinations as follows:

   +----+----+
   | XX | XX |
   +----+----+
   | XX | XX |
   +----+----+

XX = binary vales only. Binary Values 00, 01, 10, and 11 are possible here.
     These values represent palettes 00, 01, 02, and 03 respectively.

So, the translation is as follows:
 
    Palettes:	 --->     Binary:  
   +----+----+          +----+----+
   | 01 | 01 |          | 01 | 01 |
   +----+----+   --->   +----+----+
   | 02 | 03 |          | 10 | 11 |
   +----+----+          +----+----+

This gives you a binary value of 0101 1011, which in hex is 5B.
