Hello I'm Splash and this is a Tutorial for Beginners by a Beginner.
I willsomehow guide you to your first steps in hacking.
This tutorial contains:
-> Steps how to properly apply a cool rombase
-> How to hex edit to insert new features
-> How to assemble and insert ASM
-> Some tips in Scripting and Avoiding Bugs
Future plans:
-> A tutorial on intermediate scripting
-> A more elaborate var tutorial
-> An FAQ Section
-> More tips and tricks in hacking
---------------------------------------------------------->
Useful links that us beginners might not know exist section
---------------------------------------------------------->
First Let's start off with the things you need to start Rom Hacking:
-> The Basic Tools
-> A Rom Base
Now what is a rom base? It basically is another patch of a game that has features
beginners like us will be unable to implement that easily. What we'll be using
in this tutorial will be Mr. DollSteak's Decaps and Attack Rombase which for me
is the bomb!
-> Time
Yes. Time is essential if you want to make a great hack and you need a whole lot
of it. Making a great hack not only needs skills but also needs time. Time to
learn more. Time to fix bugs. Time to improve the game.
-> A solid idea
When making a hack, I've seen beginners asking for help even though they've not
even started on a story. Some only have a single idea and they think that it's enough
to make a rom hack. NO! That's not the only thing you need. Plan your hack first and
determine whether the features you want to implement are doable. Don't expect
someone to make your hack for you. Asking for help is great but it's best to try
doing it yourself first. You might be surprised that you can actually do it. And It
will feel really awesome if you succeed doing it I promise!
-> Determination
If you start feeling like your sick of hacking. Try to remind yourself why you
started in the first place. If your beginning to become lazy, Don't force yourself
and take a break. A good hack takes time. You could also ask others for opinion for your hack and to further develop it.

If you want some already done ASM routines go to the
ASM Resource thread. And you would not believe how much of
ASM you would drown yourself in :)
