Custom Title Screen Empty Custom Title Screen




Here is a tutorial on how to add a custom background for your title screen using more than the original gfx allow for.

Here is a link to the tutorial:

Here is a video of the title screen I made for my hack using this same method:



Here is the ASM just in case for any reason the website goes down:

Code:
 org $0CC341 ;initialize some gfx settings at the beginning so that it displays correctly after the
        JSL Main1 ;history cut scene plays And inserts the gfx to the vram and inserts a custom palette
    
    org $0CC27E ; disables BG 3 during the opening sequence as it is not used
        db #$11
    
    org $0CC51D ; disables BG 3 during the opening sequence as it is not used
        db #$01
    
    org $0CC2AE ; applies the tilemap after the original is placed in
        JSL Main2
    
    org $0CEE39 ; at the beginning of the history cut scene reset the bg address
        JSL Reset1
    
    org $0CCDE2 ; once the select screen appears, reset the bg address
        JSL Reset2
    
    org $218000

Wow! The result looks phenomenal!

Years ago, when I was doing my little hack/mod, I actually gave up on changing the title screen because I couldn't get it to work. Maybe I should try again with your guide Very Happy
