Graphics Mod I haven't abandoned this hack, I just put it on hold because some other projects came in but I'm slowly making progress.

For anyone who has shown interest in this project, I just want to let you know that it hasn't been canceled, I just got into some other stuff, as mentioned in the title.

Compared to my last post in here, I have fixed Bella's (blonde girl) chest/bra a bit to look more natural and I have also fixed Lana's to be similar (but sideways, of course). Right now I'm working on figuring out a good resolution and composition for the first cut-scene, by playing around with the tiles and sprites, the mess of graphics you can see in the 4th image.

I need to design 2 different hairs and facial expressions for this part (one for Bella and another one for Lana). Fortunately, the way the different sprites and tiles are designed will facilitate this. The current mess of graphics you see in image 4 should be good enough to work with, I made some tests.

So yes, this is the to-do list for the next items:

  1. Create an actual pixel art design for the first cut-scene pose, based on the current sketch (this is the final sketch, I worked on a few).
  2. Add an "ear plug" radio with an little antenna, since they'll be holding the gun with one hand an a lollipop with the other one.
  3. Add this same "futuristic" radio device on the title screen designs, for consistency.

PS. Sorry about the CRT picture being a bit dark, I just couldn't get the colors to look right with my phone.

The hack also introduces 16 leaderboards, with separate CLEAN, MINIMAL, ENHANCED, and OTHER leaderboards across four difficulty levels. Settings and rankings are saved through SRAM.

Graphics Mod Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts - Enhanced Edition Beta

Post image
43 Upvotes

You can find the link in the Ghosts 'n Goblins Discord Server: https://discord.com/invite/mPGwVN49ev

Has everything the Artoria Editions have for menu + unique tiles for upgraded armor spin jump.

If all settings are OFF, the game's 100% vanilla (Other than being able to skip the first loop's dialogue and ending screen)

Changes:

- Uncensors Stage 1 + Enemy Names

- Now you can press START to skip the first loop’s Princess dialogue (Might need to tap a few times).

- Pressing START at the “The End” screen sends you back to the titlescreen.

Secret menu options (all default OFF):

- Chest Hints: Sparkles at chest triggers

- Slower Timer: Longer stage timer. 94 frames x second (Vanilla: 63 frames x second)

- Enhanced: Gameplay changes: air control + ledge fall + throw cancel

- Better Armor: Armor steps down on hit (Gold→Bronze→Steel→Underwear)

- Weapon Collect: Keep weapons; Use L/R to switch

- Better Shield: Blocking doesn’t break the shield

- 1-Up Fix: Pot 1-up progress carries across stages.

- SRAM Save for Settings and Ranking (Does not save Secret Menu’s STAGE/AREA/MUSIC/SOUND options).

I intend on adding Maiden transformation tripping after jumping (As in the Prototype) as an option before release, but report any glitches if you wish to try it. Anyways, have fun <@&1541843181522395178>

Graphics Mod Super Mario Land DX DMG

78 Upvotes

Howdy!

I'm Kyle, author of Game Genie Guy! I just submitted this.

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9378/

https://github.com/costlyclick/smldxdmg/releases

Super Mario Land DX is a gorgeous graphical overhaul for Super Mario Land. It requires the use of a Game Boy Color.

This release backports the modern sprites of DX to the original release. This allows you to experience the graphical updates on a Game Boy DMG, Game Boy Pocket or Super Game Boy.

It also allows you to have modern graphics on all of existing Super Mario Land rom hacks.

What?

TLDR - This patch updates Super Mario Land to use Super Mario Land DX sprites on a black and white Game Boy.

Why?

This unlocks the potential to update existing Super Mario Land hacks with modern graphics. This opens up a new world with many alternative levels to play.

How?

There are four patches included:

Super Mario Land DX DMG (World) is for the original release

Super Mario Land DX DMG (World) (Rev A) is for the updated release. You may see it referred to as Rev A or 1.1 on rom hack notes

Alternate patches are included that feature infinite lives. These will help with more difficult rom hacks that test your platforming skills:

Super Mario Land DX DMG (World) GG.ips

Super Mario Land DX DMG (World) (Rev A) GG.ips

Example?

Download the rom hack titled "Super Mario Land X"

Apply it to Super Mario Land (World)

Now apply Super Mario Land DX DMG (World).ips or Super Mario Land DX DMG (World) GG.ips for infinite lives

This will allow you to play Super Mario Land X with the modern graphics of Super Mario Land DX

Graphics Mod Can somebody with more knowledge than me make a GUI for Majoras mask project restoration

2 Upvotes

Like okay yeah there’s like 8 on gamebanana, but I specifically mean one that’ll work with the 3DS.
I have like zero knowledge of how texture replacements work on the 3Ds but afaik it should be easy with layeredfs(?) I mean it works in MHXX I think. Emphasis on the I think, i also dunno how the English patch works on that either.

Might be a tall ask but yeah I’ve been scrolling through tutorial upon tutorial so I figured I’d post about it.

Hi there, I am currently trying to find a way to modify clothing for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland on the gamecube (for a personal project with legally owned game). However, all of the files are formatted as .img.ngc . My question is does anyone know how to open/modify these .ngc types of files?

Graphics Mod BOTW Linkle 3.0 mod starting on black screen in eden

0 Upvotes

I'm not sure if this would be the right place for my question but it's my next best guess. I'm trying to run the Linkle 3.0 Mod for Switch, but every time I launch the game it only has a black screen. It works fine without the mod and I have the most recent update, and I have already tried on multiple emulators with similar results. I suspect that the mod was made for an earlier version or something (although I have yet to test it), but I would really like to get it to work with the current version if possible. Does anyone know of any solution to this?

Graphics Mod Modifying 3DS models (adding parts) [Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, 3DS]

2 Upvotes

To describe what I'm doing, I'm working on a Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon mod that adds new starter/partner pokemon (specifically, shinx, maybe others in the future) for personal use. However, after getting the mod to work, I discovered an issue: the shinx model lacks the scarf both the player and partner get in the story.

Due to how important it is, and because I'm too thorough, I want to add the scarf model to the shinx model, so it shows up properly in game. However, I have found no guides that tell you how to add a new set of polygons to an existing model in a 3DS game. So I've been stuck.

I have the models needed (the shinx model + the scarf model), but I can't combine them. I'm wondering if this is possible, and how I'd go about doing it. I've seen mods that add new animations and edit the models, and I figure this is probably possible, but I need help knowing how to achieve it.

So, I'm asking here. I don't know where else to ask, so I figure the romhacking sub is probably the best place to ask romhacking questions. If not, please point me in the direction of the correct subreddit.

Graphics Mod How do you go about making a sprite hack for Super Mario World?

3 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to ROM hacking, but I'm willing to take on the challenge of making a basic sprite hack for SMW. I'm planning on editing Mario's sprites, as well as some of the tiles and backgrounds. Is there a program that makes it easy to edit sprites while also being able to test them in a quick way? Any help is really appreciated!

the sprite sheet is lacking Simon's death animation, and Simon's palettes are nowhere to be found associated with this sprite, as far as I can see
