When I import an image into NESST Palette 0 changes to four "default" colors. I say "default" because it doesn't matter what I set them to or what image I import, they always revert back to these same four colors. I did read the readme and tried to set my desired colors to Palett...

This is working nicely for the most part, however... I'm trying to import a four color image but it is importing as a three color image instead. The third color in the first palette is of NESST is not being applied to any of the pixels upon importing. I tried changing the color in MSPaint from dark ...

I am terrified of snakes so I will try rainwarrior's approach first. It'll take me a bit to "quickly" replace the attributes manually since I don't have much practice with this. Thanks for the replies!

After some BMP conversion struggles I am finally able to import a 32x30 tile BMP into NES Screen Tool, however all the tiles are being reduced to the colors of only one of the palettes. I set all four palettes to the colors I wish to use. Is there a way to import an image and maintain my color schem...

To update my progress (or lack thereof), I tried using a very small 3-color image (16 x 32 pixels). I used both Paint and Photoshop to save it as a BMP. I've tried the 16-color and 256-color BMP options. I've tried the CHR ROM and 8bppp Bitmap tabs in YY-CHR. Nothing will open, I just keep getting t...

I just saved the image as 256 colors in Paint but I still get the same error message in YY-CHR. Is there a file size limit or something that I'm not aware of. The file I'm trying to open is 32x30 tiles. I am using YY-CHR.NET and so I tried the copy/paste option but that isn't working. It just keeps ...

In YY-CHR I get "Bitmap Open Error" when I attempt to open a BMP file. That's the only message I get and all I can do is clock "OK". I've tried saving the file in Paint as 16 color and as monochrome but neither can be opened in YY-CHR. I use Windows 7. At this point, yes, I'm at ...

Hello again Tepples. Have you had a chance to look into this further? I still cannot get the PNG files converted to CHR.

Thanks

The program is called Pyxel Edit. It can export the tile set or complete image as PNG, JPG or GIF formats.

Thanks for you help!!!

Thanks Tepples! I looked into using YY-CHR and Shiru's NES Screen Tool but I'm having trouble converting my PNG files to the correct BMP files so that they can then be converted to CHR. When I try to import them into either program I keep getting messages saying that they are not the right kind of B...

I see a lot of dev tools out there, especially for graphics, but are any of them capable of exporting custom graphics in a format usable in an NES cartridge? I'm not exactly sure how this would work but I can't imagine that with all the brain power in this community that no one has come up with a to...

*I apologize if this should have gone under NES Music sections but I didn't want to get answers that were over my head so I figured posting it under the Newbie Help Center was best. Excluding the DMC channel, if the other four channels are playing background music for my game and I have a sound effe...

I am having trouble finding a concise answer on this. I understand that the NES can handle two banks of 256 tiles at one time. So my questions are: - If I'm using an MMC3 mapper to bank switch then what is the limitation on the total number of tiles that I can use? - Is it best to have all my sprite...

Does anyone know of a reliable and trustworthy place to get ATMEGA168-20AUR AVR chips programmed? I'm also looking to have NES circuit boards assembled, ideally at the same place. I'd source the components from Digikey and have them shipped, along with lockout chips and NES cartridge shells, to the ...

Isn't the MMC5 considerably more expensive and harder to find? I'd love to throw that restriction out the window but at what cost...
