[SM] build rooms that are larger than 50 screens?

Would it be possible without hefty ASM scripts and/or some kind of change in emulated hardware to increase the number of screens a room can have in super metroid?

effectively, the largest room I can build in SMILE is 7x7 (I was aiming for quite a bit bigger than that!)

As far as I know and remember (because it's been years since I've done any type of modding), is that it's an engine limitation. You can expand the X or Y size of a room up to F, which is 15. Both can theoretically hit this at 15x15, but I honestly couldn't tell you the exact reason that 50 is the max.

I do remember somewhat vaguely that you could manually expand a room past F or the max of 50 screens but it would start pulling junk data.

If you make it 15 in 1 direction you'll have to compensate in the other. I've found that out the hard way :)
