Long ago Matrixz tried showing me how to do it, but i forgot and lost all notes back in '09. Im just looking to have 3 gui's that can display the current screen id, tsas, and what the ppu contains, while using a mouse to alter the current screen ids tsa's |

Step 1: Get rid of VB6
Step 2: Get C# Express or VB.NET Express Step 3: No. No more steps. I've made level editors with VB6 and I've made level editors with VB.NET, and I vastly prefer .NET. I like C# even better for level editors, so if you have any experience with C-style languages, give it a whirl. If you want I can share the source for my Metroid editor or Blaster Master editor (C#) or either of my Zelda editors (VB.NET). |

I have a program called Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 I dont have experience with c. I was shown vb, because you could have pre-made windows. Due to what i did to the outworld, your editor no longer works. I know all of locations for what id like to edit. |

Posted by infidelity Well, I figured as much . Unless you're already pretty handy with VB6, though, I'd give VB.NET a try instead. (C#'s syntax would probably make things harder unless you spend a lot of time with Java/Javascript/C++/PHP). Your choice, I was just sharing my opinion. Hell, if you want, give me the necessary info and I'll toss together a rudimentary editor that will work for you hack. Once it's up and running, I'll hand it off to you and you can add features or update as necessary for changes in your hack. I'd really like to see this hack get done. |

Ive been in such a "code it yourself" mode, that id hate to ask anyone to perform such a task. But i only know 6502. I would love to share my info with you on how my rom is now. I left the scrn ram properties the same, so i can use your editor for those. |

I don't mind in the least, or I wouldn't be offering. Unless you mean that you would rather make it yourself. At any rate, it would be quicker and far less effort for me to make a level editor than for you. I've got myself set up like a level editor factory. If you're interested, just shoot me a PM. |

Ill begin writing up a master document of where everything is. Ill also include an .ips of my latest work, which is at this point, a 1.5mb mmc5 version. I still need to write up asm for my tsa's to have individual palettes on every screen id. :-) |

@snarfblam. My rom is entirely set with 9 working worlds, with all screen id's having unique tsa's, and all those unique tsa's, have they're own individual palette. Im writing up the doc now, and should have everything for you by tomorrow. :-) video soon.
EDIT: @snarfblam. Sent a pm. :-) |
