Help with color edition on NES

NiONiO
in The Brewery
I downloaded a SMB rom just to try a SMB editor... all was good, I did something with Tile Layer Pro to change Mario, but then I got stuck...



I can't change Mario colors, I already tried with FCEUX and NES palette editor and it doesn't work or I can't find the correct numbers...



anyways, I changed a bit Mario to make it look like Giuseppe the supposed 3rd brother (famous from dorkly bits)...



if anyone can help me with this, I want to make his clothers purple or darker, but not red or green... same goes to his moustache-hair, a darker one



ROM attached btw - Mod edit: Deleted ROM. Do not post ROMs please!

    Why would you attach a ROM which has copyrighted materials? You can not do that.

    FYI, with any tile editor, there is only a few colors you can change something inside the tile to. For example if the current tile is blue,red,green,orange in the game... in the tile editor selecting that same tile your color palette may only show black, grey, blue and green.



    What happens is that the tile is hard-coded to use blue, red, green and orange. You would need to hack/hex edit the game to use other colors.



    So, your palette is like this black (in game blue), grey(in game red), blue (in game green)and green(in game orange).



    The colors are hard coded, the tile layer pro won't change the code, it doesn't work like that.

    sorry, don't know I was breaking a rule there...



    I already used the HEX editor in FCEUx, change the colors but I can't save the changes... I will try again today to see if I can do something about it

    FCEUx is just a viewer if I recall.

    You should be able to save the modified data to a new rom, or overwrite the existing from the viewer menus. Or just use a hex editor outsie of fceux with fceux to find the data, the hex editor to change, save and reload and such.

    thanks, I will try to do it with an HEX editor, iirc that was the way it worked before... seems like it's just a viewer like GorillaZero says
