So, I decided I wanted to do a sprite edit of Mega Man to turn him into a Mega Man styled Samus Aran from Metroid. I was going to use sprite layering for her arm cannon and helmet, but when I went into NESticle and tried to edit the black in Mega Man's eyes into red, every shade of black on the screen turned red. Is there a way to not have this happen, or is my idea an impossibility?

Black is an alpha channel. It's possible but just use any color than black. Also, sprite edits you do in nesticle will NOT be saved in the ROM. Tile Layer is your friend

Hey, I was trying to add a palette-changing effect for Wood Man's stage in visine that made the trees glowing red, to give the appearance that it's on fire, but when I played it in NESoid the palette just stayed in the first palette thing istead of changing palettes. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I saved it, but it won't cycle palettes when I play it in NESoid. I changed the first palette to orange, so it's stuck looking orange. I also edited Airman's level to look dark and stormy, and the palettes still were fine there.

Hmm...check your stage settings for woodman (F6 I believe?). Or check to see if your palette is locked.

Okay, I managed to get a simple two-palette cycle going. How do I get more colors on the palette editor though? I press F9, and the box in the corner only has a limited selection of blues, reds, greens, and greys to choose from.

Also, In Tile Layer, is it okay to edit the garbage tiles, or are those not supposed to be edited? I'm guessing it's not good to edit them, but figured I should ask.

The garbage data is actually ROM data, don't change that :-/

Also, pressing tab in the F9 screen gives you more colors.

Hopefully this should be my last palette question, but how do I add more palette cycles? I set the palette cycles to four in Wood Man's level, but the palettes in the F9 screen only went up to two. when I played it in NESoid, the level kept disappearing and reappearing constantly (it almost gave me a headache). How do I fix this?

I...have to get an IPS patch to understand. I've never had that issue but it sounds like you have a color set as black. I don't really know.

Here's an IPS, the hack probably doesn't count as a hack yet though.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h54vc7mook11y4/Mega%20Man%202%3A%20ROSA.IPS?dl=0
The problem I'm having is in Visine, the color cycle in the F9 screen for wood man's level only goes to 2, even though I set the palette cycles to 4 in the F6 screen.

Also, could you tell me what you think of my palette change for Air Man's level? It's not complete yet, I want have rain in the background too.

Edit: After SERIOUSLY thinking things through, I think I want Mega Man: Return of Samus Aran to be a hack of Mega Man 6. This way Zero-Suit Samus and Mega Man can be playable, I can make branching paths, I can have the Charge-Shot and a functional Morph Ball (a modified slide), enemy graphics automatically load, heck, I'll even add multiple bosses for branching paths. I will make even make an Airman Level so I can have an 8-bit remix of "I can't defeat Airman". I guess this isn't a problem for me then.

So, Model FZx, I recently stumbled upon an emulator for Android that runs Windows OS, like 98 and XP. If I can figure out how to make it work, maybe we can use the more advanced hacking programs like Tile Layer Pro and Rockman 2 Editor. Just thought I should post this, you've helped me a lot, hopefully I can return the favor

I will say this bluntly: nope. Its the Limbo x86 emulator, correct? Yeah you can't put windows apps on that. And the speeds are terrible. But if you wish, then go ahead. But it will not work.

All you can do is make do with what you have and wait until you're able to get a computer.
