GSC: Extension 255 icons/minis

[com3tiin]

Thanks to the initiative and support of Soloo993, to the teachings of ASM of Crystal_, and collaboration of Miksy91, comet and Blue Emerald, I expand the number of minis that can be used for display in the menu party and the Daycare, of 38 to 255!! A whole managed for GBC hacks!
(the Daycare only display the first 128 icons fine)

The patch only overwrites data, therefore there is no danger that eliminates game information. The only new data is the graphics, which were stored in $1F0000-1F7FFF (Bank 0x7C and 0x7D ; free banks).

This patch is not compatible with the "Pokemon Editor Ultimate", but you don't need to use it as each pokemon is assigned a value equal to its number of pokedex.
(Don't apply the patch until you finish the use of the "Pokemon Editor Ultimate")

To find each pokemon minisprite graphic the fomula are:

[Index -1] * 0x80 + 1F0000

Extension 255 icons/minis

Additionally, I maintain a project to compile/create all icons/minisprites of the poké-world to give each one the correct graphic.

This is a sample of the patch.

Thanks to Soloo993 for the compendium of animations.

PD: Some graphics are old version and I have not upgraded to the new ones that Blue Emerald created.

Edit:
This is the routine.
