Dr. Mario DX
« on: October 19, 2019, 05:33:17 am »

I started yesterday a GB to GBC colorization hack, just for learning purposes. Even if this was a simple hack, it's already a nice improvement. Had to inject NES tiles though.


Can't really decide if this is a WIP or just a PoC. I prefer to start colorizing a bigger game, and do not waste time on this one. Mostly because it's a pain in the ass to hack this one due to being one of the very first titles released on the system. The animated viruses in thelower right corner should be redone, and trying to get a good result with backgrounds could get hard.

Download alpha patch


I might continue it if someone helps by redrawing those sprites and try to colorize the background tiles (have in mind the GBC limitations!).

Dr.Mario is one of my favorite games, Im really glad to see this, it already looks good.

Sadly Im not good at hacking, but I think Im pretty decent at spriting, if its easy for you to provide the images or help with the tiles I could try and help.

This looks absolutely fantastic!
I love how it turned out :)
I'll see if I can do something about the remaining stuff

No matter which ROM I choose to patch, it never looks like the one in the picture...

Looks like something Toruzz would do.

This looks amazing so far. I say to keep it up. Maybe I can try to see if I can make some sprites for you.  :thumbsup:

Any contribution will be welcome :-) Just make sure you follow the GBC limitations:
* sprites have only three colors
* there are 8 background palettes (4 colors each one), any of these can be assigned to each background tile

It should work with any Dr. Mario ROM. If you are using an emulator, make sure it's running in GBC mode.
