How to Edit Sprites Using YY-CHR | Link to the Past 

can we do this on Mac?

can i use yy-chr for each snes-game? other question: is possibly every snesrom "hackable"?e.g. actr*iser?

Speaking of palettes is there any way to get other game palettes

is this tutorial compatible with other roms (im trying biometal but cant find the sprites)?

hey, are you currently working on any snes rom game? I've seen some people improving snes and genesis games quite drastically from their original counterparts.

The Dark World is just an endless monday evening.

thank you man, it worked for me 🤟🏻🔥

does this still work?

this doesn't work for me a save state is not a palette file.

Check out the a link to the past randomizer if you haven't already

No problem! Glad I could help :)

Thanks! I really appreciate it

also garfield

Haha, thank you :)

this was so usefull thanks

were would you find palettes for other games

You can load ZSNES emulator save-states into yy-chr (with f12) to get the palette information. If you're not able to get that working, let me know and I'll try to help out.

YY-CHR cannot edit the palettes used in the ROM. It can only preview them. To edit the palettes in the ROM, you'll have to use something like "Zarby's Palette Creator Tool" Which you can find here drive.google.com/file/d/0BwblHjDHxI_Uc0xOcjN0aXh6LTA/view

Note: This will only work with Link to the Past.

Thanks so much.

You have to use zcompress to decompress the graphics in link to the past

John Cadwallader use a palette editor

yeah, same with Super Punch Out.

@@dhfjdhfjsf4599 Man, imagine how awesome it would be creating any type of characters and make them fight in a ring.

Force Dev you might be able to get an earthbound palette if you save state with that game in ZSNES, after save stating get the ZST file it made then load it up in YYCHR

I'm trying to find the same. The only thing I've found is when you have the game open in YYCHR and have scrolled to the link sprites, change it from 4bpp to 3bpp in the graphic format and theres more stuff.

I would assume you could create a rom with the sprites you want, open it with the editor, then copy them over to a clean rom

My2CΞnts you might be able to get the palette file you need from a ZSNES save state from that rom it’s saved as a ZST file load it in YYCHR, from what I know save states from other emulators won’t work

Thanks for both replies. I got the palette for SF2, but it works on completely different principles than Zelda. Each character is cut up into at least a hundred pieces, I guess to save space on the cartridge. I think it works on the tile sheet principle, where several pieces can be used to assemble many different characters. A heel, a toe, a corner of a shoulder, etc. also, the palette was in grayscale and some other shades of green. I’m guessing these are placeholder colors, and the computer applies the “real” colors when loading the characters on screen. This would be used if two players play the same character and one needs to be in a differy color. Needless to say I thoroughly gave up, especially since I had drawn completely new sprites that didnt fit into the sheet. Thanks anyway for the help.

My question exactly.

Make a save state in ZSNES (you can't use snes9x unfortunately) and load the save state in YY-CHR

The graphics may be compressed, which I'm not sure YY-CHR can handle.
