Shiru, thank you so much for this tool! For some reason, I still can't figure out how to copy/paste from MSPaint, or export (it keeps telling me my bitmap needs to be 4 or 8 bpp). Anyway, I know that's user error, I just can't figure it out. The real reason I was writing, was just to say thanks. This tool is really helpful, way easier than TLP and YYCHR combined!
Thank you for making NESst. It works fine in Wine on Xubuntu 11.10. Now I have a bit of a feature request:
I'm working on a multicart that will include several homebrew NROM games. (LM, LM, and ZS are among them.) One way I can save space in the multicart is to compress the tile data, and the compression ratio improves if I blank out tiles that I know are unused. A lot of games seem to have some sort of repetitive 'X' marks in unused areas of CHR ROM, which compress well using some codecs but poorly with others.
Currently I can Import from an NES cartridge image. I'd like an option on the Export menu to save my changes to the CHR data back to the cartridge image.
And a minor bug report:
When CHR banks A and B are active, the "Interleave" and "Deinterleave" options affect only bank A's data, not bank B's, even if I have bank B visible.
