Well I'm not sure were I should post this.(if its in the wrong spot can some on move it to the right place?)

Ok I downloaded the "278" up there in the little box, and I tried to use the rom view, but when I loaded one all I got was garble? So What Am I suppose to do/or how do I get it to work?

Most SNES roms I see have compressed graphics. I don't know if the rom viewer that's included can support it or not.

Well that sucks I was wanting to make a side scroll type quest with the mortal combat graphic as the background. Well I guess I can take snap shoots and make my own the hard way! bummer😡

I played with it for a bit using different roms. It's really buggy, but it does work. I don't really see the point of it though since there are many better rom graphic viewers and ZC really doesn't need this.

I had to scroll for a good while before I found half-way-better-than-nothing tiles in an ALttP ROM.

Heh... ROMView doesn't work with straight SMC ROMs very well, so it's better to use save states. Main reason I like ROMView is because it also gives you the images it saves in the original ROM palette...

But, as I said, you can just rip it from a savestate. Dunno why anybody would want to rip more LttP tiles, however. Everybody and their grandmother has already done it.
