If you edit files (Backgrounds, Tilesets etc.) your rom gets bigger, because the file sizes are also bigger then. So if you want a 32 MB rom, then you have to use all original Backgrounds etc.

I have edited every tileset and almost every background. My levels are huge, and I have edited a lot of sprites. I am still at 32 MB.

ray, I really don't know, what you are talking about. Our ROM is still 32,768 MB, just like a COMPLETE clean US-ROM.
It's the same as luckwii's.

The patch gets bigger as you build, but not the rom. At least with mine.

Posted by luckwii The patch gets bigger as you build, but not the rom. At least with mine. The patch contains all the changed files. The more you change, the bigger it gets. The ROM holds all files. If you change something, the new file doesn't get added to the ROM, but the old file in the ROM get's replaced with the newer one. So it has always the same amount of files in it and the size won't grow.

Your ROM really shouldn't get any bigger than 32MB. NSMB has about 13MB of free space, so you would have to be making files much larger to fill this up. I actually don't even know if you can make the ROM bigger than 32MB and still have it work.

Apparently it works. In the ROM header there's a byte that specifies the ROM chipsize, but most flashcards appear to ignore it and just load the whole ROM.
But, as Piranhaplant says, 60 MB is getting ridiculous =D My guess as to why is this happening is that the ROM filesystem gets fragmented, with a lot of little areas of free space which can't be used to put the larger files... Damn, we might need a ROM defragmenter! Something that puts all the files to the beginning of the ROM, one right after another, so that free space is one big blob again... Could someone that has got such a big ROM go to Tools and then click the "Dump ROM map" button. That'll create a text file containing all the positions and sizes of files, so that we can see what's wrong in the filesystem Please post it somewhere

Just a guess, but could it be the roms that are larger have had sound/music hacking done? Maybe there is something that adds data, outside of what I have done in mine. IDK.
It is strange though, as I have changed so much in my hack. |

Well, sound hacks are just replacing the SDAT file. Are hacked SDAT's that much bigger? I think not...
