I want to import some tiles off of GBA in unLZ but when I run a deep scan all I get is a bunch of squared colors and distorted pics.  What do I do to get the tiles that are actually seen in the game?

Are you sure you browsed through all of the identified gfx? Don't give up on the first few, they're usually just random chunks of data

Well, then just make sure you're at the right offset/ID# when you save the thing as a .PNG.  That should do it >.>

I'll give you a boost start in how you can get the compressed data and edit it:

You'll need 3 programs:
- visual boy advance DEV
- GBAmdc
- Tile Layer Pro

first you open the rom in vba. Before VBA loads the images you want to edit just go to the Tools-> logging menu and select SWI. Go back to vba and let it load the tiles. After that go to the logging and save the log it created. Then run gbamdc with: GBAmdc -a game.gba game.log.
The program will then create as much .dat as compressed data we found in the log. Next open TLP and open one of those .dat files. Choose view->format->gba and there it is the data you want to edit! to better understand it you can use Sprite Studio to create a good palette for the tiles.
You should read all the tutorials in this site about the programs I've mentioned and also there are very good tutorials here about gba hacking.
