I was interested in how to remove specific Graphics from the NES TSB game. Here's a screenshot of what I've done to the Midfield Logo:



As you may know, changing the Mid-field, also affects the Main Screen logo. So, What I did is adjust the colors of the main screen logo:



I tried many different colors, trying to get it right, until I finally just turned it all blue. So, anyway, I want to know if it is possible just to do away with the Main Menu Logo Completely.

well, if you want to not see it (main menu logo) - why not make it the same color as the background?

I thought about that Buck. But, I can't find the address to the Shadow behind the logo. So, If I do, I'd still have the shadow. If you know where the address is, that would help.

ok. you need to start using fceux emulator. it has a built-in hex editor and a "code logger".

so, with this you can go to the preseason team select screen, open the hex editor (view rom file), start the "code logger", press B on controller to go back to the main menu screen, stop the code logger, go around the 1Axxx section of the rom (hex editor) and look at the code that's "blue" colored. around that 1Axxx area are all the palettes. (this is what I would do to answer your question, because I don't have that location written down. you might as well do it yourself.)

seriously, your amount of questions reduce and your understanding of serious editing and TSB itself will increase. for realz, go get FCEUX (I use 2.1.1 win 32), but I think there's a newer version.

respect.

a relative quick and simple way is to use nesticle (yes i know it does suck as an emulator) you can open up the palettes and edit the colors in game then save your changes. I used to use this feature a lot until i started learning more about different ways to edit and hack.

Not trying to be a bother to anyone with the questions and 'understanding'. I'm just starting to get into this sort of thing. Thanks for the heads up on the emulator. Is there no way to do this with the Nestopia Emulator?? I once had Nesticle, TDO, but I didn't like it very much. I switched to Nestopia a while back. This was long before I got into 'hacking' however. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Should I not use the Forum to post questions??? Not really understanding that. I see questions all over the place. Haven't really gotten to know my way around the forum just yet, maybe there's a 'beginners questions forum' or something. I've tried to post in several different arenas according to the question I had. I found a lot of Graphic Hack items in this particular one, so that's why I posted this particular question here. Again, my apologies for being a TSB Hacknewb.

download tile molestor, and search for the graphic. toy with the settings, and you can see each and every tile. its kind of a where's waldo type thing, but when you find the logo, just use copy a tile that uses the first color of the pallete..usually black and paste over all the tiles, I'll get that info real quick.

In your pic. your "SHADOW" already seems to be a different color (NOT BLACK), but anyway like BUCK said: just make your logo the same color as your background to make it disappear.
But you still need to modify it via a "TILE VIEWER" (NESTICLE can allow yo do that with "F2" key, and then WRITE VROM, to save your changes very easily) because as you can see from your pic, your MENU CURSOR is now blue too. (This means it is also "affected" by its palette, and you CAN'T "just change colors")

BTW MENU logo Palette: x1A850
(110F1130 11112530 11111130 11000000) here, your background is blue(11), the "SHADOW" is black(0F), so make the "0F" at x1A851 a "11"
(to "disappear" all of it, just turn all values to "11", BUT WATCH OUT for the first white(30) at x1A853, cause this is the color used by the CURSOR for BOTH menus)(if you turn it blue, you wont be able to see where youre going. You first need to change the color of your MENU-LOGO TILES)
