Nice work!

Cool stuff! Are you doing this by automatic metatile conversion software you made or something?

Yes,it by software, i made!

That top secret room in the ship level is so hard to reach. It's actually on top of the regular secret area at the top left (even though it may be on the same map area as the ship indoors.

I think I saw gimmick map stuff being done somewhere else before.

There's a map set by TerraEsperZ.

Good job!I think i can make other game map!

Good attempt still. Did you reverse engineer the metatile format?

Yes,
do you want make any game map，I can help you！
maybe PRG game is easy！

So, the product already existed (Gimmick! maps on vgmaps), but the process is enjoyable to take part in and something valuable for you to post about. How do you find the maps? First find the tileset, then graphically dump memory using it until you find something that looks like a map, then figure out the width?

first
find the title,it's easy,can dump from emulator

next
find the map bolck ，if map consists of block！
（can analysis from ppu data（nametable））
block example：


last find the map data

By all means keep going. I was just linking to some existing maps.

I wouldn't mind seeing a gimmick extra-levels patch.

Yeah, keep going. The images at vgmaps represent how the levels are delivered to the player, but yours are more technical, showing how they are stored in the ROM, and that's more interesting for programmers (while the ones at vgmaps might be more interesting for players).

It would be nice if you posted some of the technical info though... such as the exact format used for metatiles and maps, whether there's any kind of compression, things like that...
