firstly.. hi. im pretty new to this hacking thing. started about 4 months ago and i dont sleep anymore because of it.  Anyway.. I'm starting off with a simple game to hack, CV III- which I already changed 75 % of the graphics and the level designs are flowing nice...  i actually changed the setting to my old ghetto town of shaolin island (staten island NYC)... skeletons and zombies are gone... replaced with crackheads, crackwhores, dopefiends and bad cops... fuckit, im giving away too much. 

Anyway, what i'm getting at is, I'm a graphics guy with fucked up ideas.. anybody wanna get in on the ASM half /script writing and shit?  im envisioning this to be legendary but- i'm but a wee noob.

Oh, PS: i was initially gonna do this with cv 1,, but what the crap is going on with the graphics in that game? those graphics aren't so much scrambled as just all double vision looking and shit and i havent seen that on any other roms... any idea whats up with that?

hmm, you think thats the case? i hope so- ill try to download a deifferent rom but; its set up where the outline of simon is on different locations and the inside and shit is elsewhere...anyone good a good cv rom?

hhh, i downloaded a few cv roms and they're all shit. i mean, sure i could hack the graphics but- ughhh it seems the programers coded each part of the characters in different colors, which correspond to a different position on the screen i.e., they'll be the inside of a head and the outside of a head, but they are overlapping different parts of the sprite- as in, there will be a red arm running through a white head... etc... if this sounds familiar to anyone.. do chime in.

ughh yea, that seems to make sense.. what a pain in the assits like that with all the graphics too... the outlines are seperate from the insides and shit... fuck it. im gonna stick on cv 3.

The Dragon Warrior games did the same thing (overlapping) for enemy graphics. 
Did you say which emulator it was?
