Hi all,
I'd need help from an experienced hacker, if anyone's interested, because I'm a total noob in rom hacking  \

I tried fooling around with the SMW rom, but couldn't find a way to export the graphics and redo them, everytime I tried it would result in a horrible jam of pixels... I tried Tile Layer Pro as well as YY-CHR
but no luck...

Basically, what I'd like to do is redraw the entire graphics (tiles+sprites) and create a whole new game with SMW engine... Then use Lunar Magic for the level design...

Can anyone help me? Is that even possible?
I know it sounds very naive but I told you I'm a noob 

Thanks

I suggest you use Tile Molester, then try following this little tutorial, it will teach you the basics of Tile Editing: http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Changing_the_status_menu_portraits.html

Once you learn the basics you should be able to edit any rom.
