[SM] [ASM/GFX] Skipping the map

[snipereighteen]

Hello there, I wish for help for my hack.
First of all, does anybody have any way to skip the maps on the title screen? In this case, just after clicking "START GAME" (like in SM Eris).
Next, I've tried removing the mini map in many ways which resulted in the game crashing, graphical errors and much more. Is there any way to remove the mini map that is sure to work?
I'd be much appreciated.

One way is to blank out all the minimap graphics.
Open your rom in TLP, go to D3200, switch view format to Game Boy and blank out all map tiles. This way the minimap will be gone, but you can still see the map in the map screen.

Well that may work, I had not considered that. However, what about the flashing tile of the mini map (samus' current postition indicator)?

Not all of the colors flash. When you set the view mode in TLP to Game Boy, you can choose from 4 colors. If you blank the tiles with the right one, there won't be any flashing. (Hint: Use the rightmost color)

Grab a hex editor.

Start a brand new file, or delete existing files for this to work.

Another thing, in SMILE make sure "hide intro" In Game Behavior is unchecked.

Sorry, but that code is for a brand new file. If I was to apply this code, it will not skip on a continued file. I currently need something to skip the starting map sequence completely.  :cry:
