Would you like me to try and convert this guy from Seiken Densetsu 3 into new Aghanim sprites for Farore's apprentice?

Sure. Here is the original sprite sheet, if you have a more optimal palette in mind:

i think that palette can work for now. once the sprite is properly imported with the colors lined up we can change the palette whenever

Is this hack still alive? I’m quite anxious to play it

I'm still working on it yes. I was putting updates for the hack on puzzledude's discord server for a bit, however it was deleted. I will post some of those updates here soon. I have just been busy with college and finding motivation to work on the hack in my free time versus just playing video games or programming.

i posted it on my development blog for the hack but i figured i'd let you guys know so you can keep your eyes on the blog in the future. my semester ends next week so i'll have more time to work on the game. i did some little overworld updates today.

i also did some tinkering with the hyrule magic source code but until the feature i'm working on is finished i'll keep that to myself.

I've started doing a rolling release of the beta versions of Oracle of Secrets.

You can check out my oracle of secrets progress page to find a link to the bps patch for the current beta version.

This is only if you are interested in bug testing and giving feedback on the hack and not if you're expecting the final release. Much of the dialogue and story elements is subject to change right now so nothing in this should be considered final but I wanted to start making the development of the hack more transparent. I'd just ask anyone participating in the rolling release to not do any content with the hack yet like sharing on social media or streaming until we are farther along in development.

When I try to apply the patch it gives the following message: This patch is not intended for this rom.
However I was able to apply milk utopia to the same rom. Am I missing something here?

The rom I used to create the patch was labeled "Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (U) [!]" so if you could let me know what your rom was labeled I could potentially remake the patch or you could find the rom I used.

My rom have the same label as yours, Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (U) [!] also it is headerless.

Ahh I think that was the issue. I uploaded a new patch to the halext page meant for headerless roms. Redownload to try that out and see if it works.

Well you will not see the title screen correctly on any version. That's because it is actually done correctly within Hyrule Magic, but moegami did not realize, that in snes9x and thus also on real hardware and thus actually so: all the elements of title screen just don't work for some reason, specially if you add new elements. Only originally used elements work - similar problem with Parallel Worlds title screen.

Also, as far as I know, this is the latest version (it is attached in the first post of this thread):

This isn't much dramatic:
The Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Secrets - Page 5 Image313

It simply looks like the map is corrupted, the easiest way is to simply fix it by hand (not all tiles are misplaced). If all fails one could try with gif2snesopt to make an own own map/tileset but this is far more difficult.

@Scawful, if you send me the unbugged bg I might give it a try to restore.

Well, obiously it can be fixed. I do this by filling only the elements, which are known to work and simply remove the others. It is some work, but can be done with Hyrule Magic also.

There is only one corrupted line of tiles that you must not use, all others are fine. Once you find the corrupt tile, you move it aside (without using it) and can create new ones without any glitches.

The problem with most new titlescreens is that people create new tiles on top of the existing ones, when they could in fact use the ones already existing and change their properties with the keyboard shortcuts.

You have also to keep in mind that there is a tiles limit and Hyrule Magic won't tell you this, you'll instead get tiling errors when you boot up your hack in an emulator!


First off, to modify existing lines of tiles, select either BG1 or BG2 then make sure ''Move'' is selected.

Click with the left mouse button on the line of tiles you want to modify and the commands are as follow:

'' , '' and '' . '' = Reduce or Add new tiles to the current line

'' - '' = Changes the current line of tiles to either ''Fill'' or ''Single Tiles''

- If you choose ''Fill'', all the tiles in the current line of tiles will all repeat themselves.
- If you choose ''Single Tiles'', you can draw different tiles on the current line.


'' m '' = Changes the line of tiles to either ''Vertical'' or ''Horizontal'' positions.

To delete lines completely, click the '' , '' key until it removes it and it disapears.

Beware, that Hyrule Magic crashes if you delete one line (in particular) completely and I haven't documented which one, so give it a try next time you make a new titlescreen! Delete all lines completely until you find the corrupt line of tiles and move it aside in the dark tiles area at the right of the titlescreen.


To draw tiles on existing lines of tiles, well that's the easy step, select either BG1 or BG2, then use ''Draw'', then an existing line of tiles and draw away!

To create new tiles, select either BG1 or BG2, make sure that ''Move'' is selected and click the right mouse button once. You'll notice a new tile has appearred. From now on you can modify it's properties with the above commands without any issues (provided you didn't used too much tiles already).

Another pro-tip I can provide is that since the tiles are so small when editing a titlescreen, use the Windows Magnifying Glass and set it to a proper zoom value, so you can actually see what you're doing without headaches!

If you want to see two concreate exemples of titlescreens done right, check out either Gerudo Exile or A Link to the Proto. I made sure the titlescreens in these games wouldn't give out any errors by following the above guidelines.

Just open these hacks in Hyrule Magic, go to the titlescreen editor and click on all the tiles, you'll notice quickly they were all remade without issues. I wish I knew all this back when I did Parallel Worlds titlescreen, it would have been a lot less of headaches!

This as been a SePH tutorial on how to avoid bugs with titlescreens editing! Very Happy

I'll be addressing the title screen problem next. I think I want to change it one last time. This current title screen is from undertale and I'm not really sure why I went with it hahahaha. Redoing it will give me a chance to be more meticulous about the titles that I use and making sure it works in all emulators. Thank you SePH for the tips!

I'll work on that bug report page as well, I've just been very busy lately.

You'll manage! Anyhow, if anything occurs during the fixing process, let me know and I'll gladly assist you!

Thank you scawful!

You guys are great. I've been able to play most alttp hacks that have messed up naming menus, but it's can be a little tiny bit tricky getting to the end of the naming part of the screen and the name is never right, LOL. Nice work on the title screen. Wink

This is what I ended up coming up with, and this screenshot is in snes9x so I know there's no glitched tiles anymore!

Any plans for a final release date yet?

Looks great. Also, if it is in snes9x, than you know that this is how it actually is, even real hardware would give you this result, as you see it in this emu. ZSNES on the other hand might actually correct any problematic tiles, it also corrects the odd file size - which would lead to bugged display of the naming screen. But these corrections are ZSNES emu based and are not the actual state of the rom.
