I've returned to SMB1 hacking and when I attempted to edit the title screen, I got this result:


Major palette screw-up

Is there a way I can get the other letters white instead of green or vice versa? -- Is this even possible to fix without me having to completely trash everything I worked on?

I think it's a palette issue. See if changing the inside of the letters to different colours.

If that doesn't work, search for the colour's value in hex, and change it.

Palettes for the background (and I presume the title screen is made of background tiles) are not defined on a per-tile basis. The screen is usually divided into 0x60 blocks of 32x32 tiles. Each of these tiles are divided into 4 corners. Each corner have a specific palette attribute (0-3). In the end, a 32x32 block's color is defined by one byte. A byte is 8 bits, so you have room for 4 pieces of 2 bits in a single byte...

So your goal is to find the data table with values that defines these blocks of tiles, and modify them bitwise according to the colors you want to obtain...

I have a program that edits title screens for SMB and can change the palette too.

I have that too, but I can't read Japanese. I only wished there was an English version of it

If you don't understand something, the one consequence to draw that is truly in line with the hacker spirit is that you should try to change that circumstance.

You are OUT OF YOUR MIND if you think learning Japanese is the path of least resistance to solving a rom hacking problem.

It's not too hard to find out what is what when you mess around with it for a while.
