EarthBound Central Q&A #4

Jeffman recently released a new program that lets you edit and view various stuff in the MOTHER 3 ROM! Check out his post here!

Because it’s an early release and because the MOTHER 3 ROM is crazy complicated and unexpandable, it’s not as robust as PK Hack is for EarthBound. But if you’ve ever wanted to dig around in the ROM and see stuff or make difficulty hacks or anything like that, here’s your chance!

I ALWAYS wanted to do this!!! YEAHUH!!!!
Pretty cool! I’ve always wanted to mess around with Mother 3 but it was pretty intimidating. Maybe I’ll give this a shot.

Can it help me edit the graphics?

Probably not, as dealing with compressed data is a huge problem for a program like this.
Some things are uncompressed, though. Everything in that screenshot that says “editor” is editable. But yeah, anything that’s compressed (enemy graphics, maps, etc.) won’t be editable.
So now people can add a new age retro hippie in mother 3? This looks awesome!
couldnt you use this with the mother 3 sprite editor? i mean if you cant edit them using this just use that right?
I’m really impressed with how much you can edit with this thing. Pretty amazing stuff, especially the BG editor. Just a small question, will it ever be possible to edit enemy graphics? Or does the compression just make that too difficult for now?
I love to sprite edit on the mother 2 pkhack, but now the mother 3 pkhack, this is sweet!
haha! I used to have tons of ton doing this with pokemon ruby. i have to try this out.
Text Editor? So that means, it can also be used to translate the game?

I’m pretty sure it just lets you view text, not edit it.
I was peeking in the battle entry BG editor and I found some drawing-like backgrounds from 178 to 18E.
Does anyone have any idea of what these could be used for?
The Battle Backgrounds
178 – 18E
159 – 15B
Are pretty interesting, many variations of the unused Pigmask, a Wierd Clayman and the letters A and B witht he same Style. And a Emergncy Exit Sign…
I’m making new “Don’t Care” names, changing a couple of shops,making the unused candle enemy have insane stats, and I might use the sprite editor. By the way, how do you make an ips patch with this, if you can?

You can’t make IPS patches with this game, the ROM is too big. You’ll have to use UPS or some other format if you want to distribute stuff in patch form.
To quote M. Bison, this is DELICIOUS! YES! YES!
