NES Screen Tool Importing Tiles?

Post by Lucradan »

In NES Screen how do you import a selection of tiles from a ROM file? I do not want the whole chr bank in the ROM, only a few tiles (ex the alphabet in SMB). But, when I try the Import option it replaces the entire bank amd destroys all my previous work.

In NES screen tool, save your .CHR.

Open the ROM in YY-CHR.

Open a second window of YY-CHR, and open the .CHR file.

Cut and paste the tiles from one window to the other. Save new CHR.

In NES screen tool, open the new CHR file.
