By that, I mainly mean graphic/text edits. I'm looking into trying to make my own hack of Pokemon Red (I own two copies of the game before you say anything >_>), but I'm not sure where to start. I downloaded all the utilities I could find (TileShow and pokemap). I'm not really sure how to use TileShow, everything just looks so jumbled up 'n stuff. Is there any tutorials on ROM hacking? Thanks!

You have to move around in ROM address until you find "graphical" area. Well this forum isn't good place to discuss for romhacking, you could go to http://acmlm.no-ip.org/archive3/index.php or http://romhacking.net/ or different website where they focus on romhacking. I just had to help you because I'm fairly good on getting game genie codes for NES and GB.

Yeah, Acmlm is a TASer, (here are his movies) but he hasn't TASed any Mega Man games. His site should be able to answer your questions. Good luck!

Wow, a site from 3 years (plus!) ago. A decent alternative is the one in my signature, at least.

Better, but more translation oriented than anything. First of all, if you just want to edit graphics, use YY-CHR or something similar like Tile Layer Pro. Some sample graphics for you are at 77FFE in Pokemon Blue. Though I would really recommend learning to hack with a friendlier game, like, say, SMB1.

Yes, it's the same one.

His last post here was 2 years ago... He gave us up ;( Also, his site is down for the minute. I wanted to check the smb3 recomcobulator page.

"His site" (acmlm.overclocked.org) has been dead for years.
