Hello, This is my first thread so I hope i'm putting this in the right place! Ok, I was wondering if there was any way to change the level where the message, Welcome to Dinasaur land! Appears when you first start the game, so you don't get the begining SFX and you could jump right into a Cut-scene. Thanks!

Go to level C5 or C7 I believe an edit it. To change the sfx to music you have to make a hex edit.

Do you know what edit I'd have to make?

This one might be right:
01EB1 $00:9CB
| 1 byte | Level number | Intro level number. Change to [00] and you will skip the intro screen (level C5). You'll warp to the OW immediately.
You could change this to the level of your cutscene.

If you wanted to change the music, this is probably what you're after:
Originally posted by ROM Map$009724 (0x01924) is the intro screen (level C5) music.
Just change the byte at 01924 from 13 (the default Welcome SFX) to whatever level music you want.

Ok, I think Aquas's method would work best, but thanks The secert exit! Now, I'm a bit of a n00b so can you tell me how I make the edits? Do i use translhexion? If so, what do I do? Srry, I havent really done stuff like this before!

Yep, you'll need to use Translhextion or some other hex editor. There's a good hex editing tutorial on this site, which is right here. That will pretty much clear up a lot of your questions on how to make hex edits, but I'll go ahead and list the steps on how to make this particular edit:
First, make sure to back up your ROM before editing. It's possible that you could screw up something important in the ROM, so this is just to be safe.
Then you'll need to open up Translhextion and open your ROM. From here press Ctrl+G (or go to Offset > Jump To...) and type "x01924" without quotes.
This should take you directly to that offset which should have a value of 13 at the moment. From there, change the 13 to any value you want by typing a letter or number while the blinking cursor is highlighted over it. For example, changing the 13 to 02 will change the music in the intro level to "Here We Go!" as heard in level 105.
After that, save the edits you made and test your ROM to make sure it worked!
