I´ve been wanting to know the location of the Mario vs Luigi stage icons for a long time, so I decided to look for them in the Rom File Browser. Anyway, I found them and also some other graphics which may be handy to know in which files those are stored. So I decided to share my findings in this thread. (I hope these findings weren't known already, but I haven't seen another thread with them.)

Thanks for finding those files, they're pretty useful!

Two questions:
1) How did you get those images directly from the game?
2) Any idea where the little head icons for Mario & Luigi's lives are stored?

1) Google Images :')
2) I don't know (yet), but you could also search for it yourself. As you can see in my first post, all my findings were in 'FS/root/menu_title.narc'. So there's a good chance that the little head icons are there too.

Wow, wish I had known that before.
Actually I made a thread about the stage icons over two years ago.

But you could still help making this list complete. You can post it here/PM me, so that I can add it to this thread's first post.

You could start with this:

Graphics file: FS/root/uiStudio/UI_O_2P_game_in_u_ncg.bin

This contains most of the Mario vs Luigi interface/HUD (Lives, Stars, etc).
I haven't looked into many of the palettes but most of them should be in "uiStudio" too.

MvsL doesn't use files which are in the "uiStudio" folder (I think).



I found them.

[Graphics File:] …/ARCHIVE/Dat_2D.narc/root/Dat/2D/UI_O_2P_course_in_demo_o_u_ncg.bin

[Palette file:] …/ARCHIVE/Dat_2D.narc/root/Dat/2D/d_2d_UI_O_2P_course_in_demo_o_u_ncl.bin (palette 1)


The 'Ready' text which is shown when starting a MvsL stage is also in this file. Uses palette 0.

I edited "FS/root/uiStudio/UI_O_2P_game_in_u_ncg.bin" and it changed the icons in game.

Also in Mario vs Luigi?

Well they only appear in Mario vs Luigi so yes.
