so the background palette overwrites the foreground's?

then you should change the palette row of the background's palette so the foreground palette won't get overwritten. change it to a palette row so it won't mess with anything else, including the layer 3 status bar.

first, go to the palette editor (), and then go to where the background or foreground palette is. where this is i can't tell, because i do not know which palette row it is taking up. once you find it, read on.

second, the entire row of palettes (the colors going across 1 row) should go onto another row, one which will not overwrite the colors of anything else, presumably palette row 2. to do that, select each color in the row, click on "add to custom colors", and send it to another row in that exact place.

after all of that, remap the map16 so it can use that palette row. for example, if you used palette row 2, make the background or foreground use palette 2.

yes, that way i can take a closer look at which palette row you should change it to. an image would surely be helpful.

great!

now, about those 4 blue squares you highlighed: you need to place them in that exact order, only in a different row. i suggest palette row 5, which is right below the current one. take those colors, click "add to custom colors", and take them to palette 5.

Yeah, checked them with notepad and they all seem to use the same .asm. They vary a bit, as you can see in their filenames.

It's showing up as a monty mole because you haven't inserted the correct graphics. The ones you want are in ST's "tilemaps" folder, under the name "mario2 (SP4).bin".

Beating SMG2 100%. You would not believe how much that last star destroyed my sanity.

Nobody's really made AMK tutorials since it's so easy to use. But if you really want one, you can read AMK's readme, included with it.

Download AMK and in its ZIP, drag the AddmusicK folder somewhere to your desktop. Now, just download some music. We have a very large collection of custom music, ready to be inserted with AMK, here. Now, if the music you downloaded was unsampled (meaning a song that does NOT use a BNK file or BRR files), drag the music TXT to the "music" folder in AddmusicK's folder. Then open up Addmusic_list.txt, and at the bottom, add your music to the list, starting at the number 29. So you'd add your music like this:


Now, take your ROM (it has to be at least 1MB) and run it through AMK. Congrats, you inserted music into your hack with AMK!

Now, for sampled music you got from our music section (meaning a song that DOES use either BRRs or a BNK file), drag the TXT into the music folder as usual, but if the song uses a BNK file or BRR files, drag whatever files it uses, the BNK file or BRR files, into the "samples" folder. Then add the sampled music's TXT to Addmusic_list.txt as usual, and run your ROM in AddmusicK.

Not so hard, is it?
