NDS has 3 main graphics formats. 4bpp and 8bpp GBA tiles, and 16bpp bitmaps (or whatever they are called).

Hmm... So I should try looking for 4, 8, and 16 bpp?
I'm really looking to replace some 2D graphics...
I want to change Pokemon Diamond/Pearl's male hero with the one from FireRed/LeafGreen. :P

Oh, right... direct color mode (bitmap mode) does have 16bpp... Just tile graphics don't!

Yup, it all depends on the game  I would think that the hero sprite would use either 4bpp or 8bpp though - but don't quote me on that. |

I sorta thought that maybe if I search everywhere on the graphics folder of the rom in 4 or 8 bpp, I might find it. So far, I've only found strange (but pretty) lines and blocks. In reality, I didn't really try 4 and 8 bpp... But I will! Thanks to all once again! XD |

You're kinda doing it the hard way, but since it doesn't work in Desmume and the debugger version of no$gba requires purchase, I guess you have no choice Just as a point of interest: I just had a look for a couple of minutes and found both 4bpp and 8bpp GBA graphics, so they're definitely in there |

NDS is not a tile-based machine, like SNES or GBA, so most graphics doesn't use "tiles" at all. Yeah, it might use them, but it's just a matter of drawing 8x8 sprites, which is incredibly useless anyway. And it can render 16 bit images.

Um, no. It specifically has tile backgrounds, no sprites involved... Maybe, we're just talking different things?

I must be incredibly dumb with Tile Molester! XD I haven't found any yet... I've looked under 4 and 8 bpp but nothing still. I find things that look like they could be graphics, but they never turn anything up. O_o Freaky. Did you extract the rom or did you use a graphics viewer/editor right from the get-go? |

Umm, use a Lzxx-tool. I think recently, there was a tool shown on this very forum that could view all files contained in the rom in lzxx in a view similar to a tile editor.

I googled lzxx-tool and I got a no search results message. Then I googled lzxx romhacking and it gave me foreign language sites. DX
But may you mean DSLazy?

No, Tauwasser said something about a program that rips the rom into folders. DSlazy does that.
I know. That's how I got to find friggn .NARC files! XD

Sorry, I thought you were talking about unpacking the contents of those pesky NARChives, not the NARChives from the ROM.

Well, I DO need help looking into those things. I'm opening each NARC on the graphics folder (although I think I found other graphics NARC files in another folder) with Tile Molester (4, 8, 16 bpp) and nothing. I've more or less given up- for now! >:D
