I opened my SMK hack in EpicEdit 2.4.1, changed some object palettes (warp pipes and grass), closed the program and tested it in my SNES emulator, then when I re-opened EpicEdit, the palettes for Mario Circuit 1-4 were all totally changed to all dark red, purple, and black. I re-opened the ROM in my SNES emulator, and not only were the palettes changed, but at least two tracks were corrupted.

Could you help me? This shouldn't be happening (you just fixed it).

Yes, it was a US ROM. I tried three different backups of my ROM. I opened each in a new instance of EpicEdit, loaded my old (uncorrupted) track design file (Mario Circuit 1), changed the palettes of warp pipes and grass, then saved the file. When I saved the file, all of the palettes immediately changed.

The only hex modification I made was to the ROM header (what the name of the ROM is in ZSNES/snes9x). I changed one hex value from the number 1 (which wasn't there before) to a space (value: 20). That's when it got messed up. I didn't change any hex values in my three backup ROMs, but they got messed up too.

OK, here's a ZIP file with IPS patches of the corrupted and uncorrupted ROMs:

I'm not sure why changing the palettes only works after the changes are made into a patch and applied to a vanilla SMK ROM. It's the only thing that's worked for me so far though.

What does this mean? Was it a problem with the ROM I was trying to change the palettes on?

I'm thinking there were problems with my original ROM hack. I just patched the uncorrupted IPS to two other headered vanilla ROMs without any problems.

Well, thank you for your help, and for making EpicEdit!
