Can I make a custom tileset?

Well, you can start with an existing tileset and edit (change) the tiles. Or you can rip tiles from other games.

Uh... I'm pretty sure the only way to edit those is in ZQuest.

Personally speaking, though, I have tried several times to create a tileset from a ripped game, and the RomView Program always gives me some sort of BS graphics. I do everything I can, and it always gives me SQUIGGLES!!! What did I do to deserve SQUIGGLES!!!

So I always make my tilesets from scratch.

The best way to rip from a rom is to do it from a screenshot. This is because you can rip the palette, and you can find the tiles easily. ROMview is very hard to use, IMO.
