I'm quite new to hacking roms and NES programming. I'm adept at Visual Basic and Q Basic programming but nothing with hex editing yet. Learning as I go. My goal is basically to combine two games, pro wrestling and River City Ransom. So I would essentially like to map River City Ransom sprites over the Pro Wrestling Sprites. I'm figuring as long as I at least have similar animations (same amount of frames, same size, etc.) I can somewhat change the moves slightly. I'm pretty sure I can accomplish this in Tile Layer Pro.
The most ambitious thing I would like to do is change the title screen on Pro Wrestling. The thing with the screen is that it re-uses several tiles on it, which I would like to get the "River City" cursive writing from River City Ransom and place that over the "Pro" from the Pro Wrestling rom. I'm figuring this would have to be done in hex editor with the mapping.
I've looked at a few of the hex editor tutorials, which I'm getting for the most part, I think I need to dive in and get some more hands on expirience with it to really understand it. Do you think changing the title screen in possible?
Ultimately I'd love to change the moves around and add entrances to the game to really make it a unique game, but I know that's quite some time down the road, if it can be done in general. But hey, that's why I put ambitious in the title
Thanks everyone for any help and pointers you can give me in advance.
