I can't really explain better than I did...haha. I had trouble with this at first, but just practice. Use the pictures I have was a reference. Or if you can tell me what specifically is giving you trouble, I could possibly help you out better. Either way, I wish you the best of luck.

Well, you should just be able to click "black and white mode" in unLZ-GBA.

It may not be EXACTLY number 138. That's what it is for me. You may have run deep scan, or perhaps I did. I can't recall. Anyway, you may have to search for it a bit.

It should fit, if you're using the sprite from the game. They're all the same size.

Help! I clicked on Run Deep Scan and all I get is a bunch of messed up pixels on my screen.

I'm sorry, do you think you could reword that? I may be able to help then.

Yeah man, hex editing is a daunting task, but you'll get the hang of it, trust me. Just keep trying. I went through like fifteen roms trying to get my title screen right.

I need some help. I inserted Mew but now the body is all screwed up. This is what I got:
See how the colors don't coordinate with the originals? Any ideas on how to fix this?

First of all, you didn't paste the pic properly. I did it like this: I exported the pic in black&white, then I indexed the new sprite to b&w, then I pasted it. So I have all the colors in b&w.
Then you need to change the palletes with APE.

[Conan Edogawa]

That's how I did it. I'll try again because I must've made a mistake.

[gary_productions]

Il hve do a misstake too. its glitchy now

yeah *using back up*

[Conan Edogawa]

I think the problem is somewhere in here for me:
Does that look ok or did I mess up the order of the blocks/pieces/whatever you want to call them?

[myfavouriteax]

That looks fine. Are you sure you exported the Charizard tilemap in black and white as well?

[Themadhacker]

wen i put in pikachu, it comes up with a turquoise splodge on his head, help!
