NES Game To Bitmap Converter Debuts

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday May 20, 2003 @09:28PM from the roms-as-art dept.

Thanks to retro site Zophar's Domain for hosting and highlighting a new PC tool for use with Nintendo Entertainment System cart images, NAPIT (scroll down to find link, and check out all the other interesting game editors while you're at it). This fun utility allows the user to save a NES game as multiple bitmap files, alter the parts of the bitmap containing graphical data (game sprites), and then reconvert to a perfectly working ROM image. Just don't alter all those pretty patterns that represent the game logic, will you?

Definatly not new news. by SynapseLapse · 2003-05-21 02:34 · Score: 3, Informative

Nesticle allowed you to edit the tiles WAY back in 98. I had lots of fun back then, editing my old NES games to do goofy things like have the guys in Kung Fu throw spoons at you.
I'd give Nesticle a look.
It may be considered outdated as a dos app'. But it's still the original king.
